Of the bigwigs from sideshow this year I obtained
Apocalypse EX - sold it. Was ultimately disappointed. Sloppy paint application, hollow cheap feel.
Red Skull EX - Flawless. I really have no issues with it. The cut an sew is great, the paint application is great.
Cap Allied assault PF EX - Very nice statue. Lacks the white star on the back. Minor nitpick on the sleeves being white and the stripes are dirty
Red Sonja EX - Mine came out almost flawless. Paint application is clean. It appears solid. Great base. Awesome EX. Great pose. Minor nitpick with the eyes. Should have been a bright green.
Harley Quinn EX - Great PF. Well painted. Cut and Sew while nice, would have looked much better fully sculpted to look more like Artgerm's art.
Batman PF EX - Minor nitpicks of poorly fitting costume, darkened face and chest symbol riding too low.
Superman PF EX - Great portrait reminiscent of Alex Ross. Poor engineering on the cape. So many people scuffed the necks of one of their heads attempting to put it on. No real issues aide from that.
So from that list, in terms of flawless execution, I need to give it to Red Skull. No mishaps. No nitpicks. Just perfectly executed even though he isn't my favorite character which lessens some of the impact. For wow factor, Red Sonja EX. I feel for Red Sonja the EX is a must.
