I don't think the guy is capable of sculpting anything "awful", because he is just so talented.

I have no idea who sculpted the piece nor do I care .. my critique is based on this piece and this piece alone.
You want the detail as to why I think it's "God awful" ... the face is warped, the streching hand being so small and behind the sculpt makes for a lousy display, the paint job is horrible, the chin is over exaggerated, the connection of the arm to the torso is bad and the size of the piece is ridiculous.
And for the record, I have seen the piece in person at Danny's office, I'm not basing my opinion on these pics.
I also don't think that the Bowen piece does this character justice either, the hand should have been casted in clear flame, the base is a bit on the bland side, the paint job on mine is only average expecially where the connetions are concerned, and the use of the clear resin on the stomach to emulate Sue's invisiblity is wasted if you display the sculpt face forward because the Thing's arms covers it entirely ... so what was the point?
There you have it ... I'm an equal opportunity basher.
But given the facts of both sculpts .. the Bowen is still a better piece dispite it's faults.
Damn you.
