If that's true, he's forgotten all he knew.

Tempted to get that Carnage and do a repaint on him. A statue repaint would be easy compared to the action figure ones I usually do.

These things are so very tempting. But even with a newer bigger display area I still find myself with precious little space to spare. Really surprised to see Bagley get two pieces. From two different eras as well. One when his art was honestly cool but still severely lacking and then one from more modern times where he's refined his style to surpass even some of the best in the business. Again if McF can just keep doing this and stay in this space and stay the heck as far away from the action figure world as possible I think he would be much happier himself and relieve us fans of the horror of him ever possibly landing an action figure license for a property we love ever again.
Show below is the new Marvel 1:10th Wave 4 Posed Collectibles which feature Carnage (The Amazing Spider-Man #362,) The Thing (Fantastic Four #642,) Spider-man (The Amazing Spider-man #1) and Black Panther (Marvel Knights #4) from McFarlane Toys. are now available for pre-order at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.

What a disappointment that Carnage is. White teeth? No pink mouth? Only black shading instead of his stripes? It looks nothing like that comic cover.

They did really impressive job with these, especially with Spidey and Panther, it's a really good sign when you can tell which artist this statue is based on right away.
Yeah these new Statues look great, is MCF upping their sculpting game on these? it would appear so, Beast, BP, Thing and this Spidey are really nicely executed, like I think I've said before with some of these figures, if Todd gave these articulation they'd be superb, really nice looking pieces here.
if these did have articulation, I'd be 100% in on starting this as an Alt collection to ML. They do not so I am passing.

Wow these look great. I tell you I really don't like McFarlane's so called action figures but the guy kills it with statues. No doubt. I think this is where he's always wanted to be and this is where he needs to be. His toy division needs to go back to that specialty 7 inch collector style line that he had before he picked up the DCM and keep doing stuff like My Hero Academia and Mortal Kombat and stick to this. This dude might actually turn me into a statue collector. This is his best work yet. Funny none of these are based off his own artwork for once. All these artists seem to actually have an understanding of anatomy and organic body mechanics. That Spider-Man is a masterpiece. When I was younger I was a big fan of Bagley's work but I never even considered him to be in the same league as McF. But these days as Bagley continued to hone his style and McF kept getting weirder and more ridiculous I have a much different perspective.
