Good job again!
May I ask who sculpted it?
James van Schaik.
Absolutely the master of all capes/fabrics. I love to paint his stuff.

James van Schaik? Sounds Dutch to me. Is he?

Canadian.
Sculpted LOTS of HeroClix.
And they look awesome as greens with no paintjobs.

Seriously, I would kill for a resin copy of that Iron Fist or Thing...

there are resin copies of them? or do you mean there aren't any and that's why you'd kill for one?

of course, James' sculpts made for Reaper are weak, oldschool and generally meh
I always wondered Morf, perhaps you'd be willing to share some industry secrets. How do manufacturer's guidelines for a sculptor look like? How detailed are manufacturer's orders?

Well everyone has better and worse sculpts. I ain't too fond of all the HeroClix but there are quite a few gems (suffering from awfully bad paintjobs though)...

Agreed, almost bought a Heroclix fig once that I wanted to re-paint.
