I can't say say no more.I'll probably get my ass kicked on this one;but I'm calling this one as I see it .......no ass kissing,just flat out truth.....It often amazes me that YOUNG'S work gets often crucified when it is more than often very well done.

Can you clarify ....... are you saying I'm ass kissing just because I happen to like this ?
 
C'mon DEL.........you don't have to DEL've into past history.....I'm sure you've had your share of brain farts..Just like we all have...No one is God on PF...
Best Regards ,in hope I didn't offend............Wayne:)
 
Thought Figure News was a forum where anyone could express a like or dislike for a figure and if required can give their reasons.
Seems that if someone doesn't agree with your point of view it's now alright for them to imply that you are an Ass Kisser.
No wonder fewer and fewer people are commenting on open forums.
Anyway back to the purpose of this forum, I feel the Crusader is a bit 'long' probably IMO because the mail on the legs looks too tight.
Although I've seen it in the flesh and it is an impressive piece.
Cheers

Here is a different take on this by Francesco Farabi

I generally don't get into busts but both versions are kinda interesting. The zombie is a change... could make for a challenging painting exercise.
As for the crusader thug.... at first glance the mouth did jump out at me as well. Reading through the posts and going back to the pic over and over I'm thinking this guy's not just an ugly man... he's got the face of a man who's taken more than one bashing to the face. Having spent more than a little time in the gym boxing, muay thai and wrestling as well as a lifetime on the hockey ice and in less than respectable drinking establishments, I've seen a lot of men (yours truly included) who've suffered broken noses, teeth, cheeks, orbital bones and had their lips repeatedly smashed and the look that develops isn't far from the visage of this knight. It's not far fetched to think that the life these guys led might lead to some facial scarring or structural damage.

All that being said, I probably won't buy it and maybe it's not perfect but there have certainly been worse offerings out there.

My two cents worth of sweet F all.

I definitely like the 90mm crusader. But may put some different heraldry on him.

No no Col everybody in the Crusades looked like Orlando Bloom I saw it on TV, joking aside mate you're bang on, having a similar life (less the hockey but Rugby is similar) I've seen that face a hundred times in bars, scrums and on the mat. These guys weren't the knights of chivalry and romance they were brutal, efficient killing machines and no doubt looked it, they had to be just to survive

I totally agree with Derek,regarding we all have the right to comment our opinion of figures etc, freely.
My opinion is that the lips look like they're of African origin,so I wouldn't buy this one. As for the other head,I don't do Zombies

Just for the record I feel the need to apologize to DEL for going off on a tangent yesterday.Sorry DEL.....will try not to let it happen again..........Best Regards........Wayne:)
 
All I'm going to say is, that's its a brave move for Pegaso, and only sales will tell whether its successful or not.
Let's face it. (No pun intended there) is that its not everyone had or has good looks. So there's no reason that the face featured isn't realistic.
It's just that its not everyone's cup of tea.

Del, I'm sure you'll make a great job of it, and look forward to seeing it in the future.
