Donna gave me a powerful, Diamond Select/Marvel Gallery, PVC "diorama" for Christmas: Kraven the Hunter!
The ready-for-action piece was designed by Caesar and sculpted by Alterton. It stands 10", and as the promotional shots relay, it seeps ferocious detail, including muscular ripples, lion shoulder-collar/vest, leopard-patterned pants and zebra-adorned cuffs and belt. The sneering Kraven (sporting a slick, Freddie Mercury-ish mustache) even grasps a feathered spear.
The base is amazing, as well, invoking an old-time, Aurora style, featuring stones, grass, gnarly branches and bamboo protrusions. (As with other figures in this series, this one is displayed in a stylish, graphics-lined, window box.)
What more can I say? I LOVE this figure, but then, I'm partial to tough-guy Kraven. (Hell, I'm sincere enough to say that I even dig the Aaron Taylor-Johnson movie.) I thank Donna from the bottom of my untamed heart for this satisfying surprise. Kraven's gonna find himself right at home in my Marvel/Diamond collection.
