    I'm liking the bigger noggin on this guy. Just seams "right" somehow. Alfred? Not so much.

      The big head doesn't bother me as much as the lack of the saw blade teeth. It still reads Sivana, but that would have put it over.

        I wholeheartedly agree, his leering overbite is iconic.

        Very glad to see a more well-tailored tunic, though--and I'll be replacing the shoes.

          to me, after seeing what the Farrow did with "Smiling Jack" Superman in the superfriends line,
          it would have killed Sivana in this iteration. His sculpts get it right 50% of the time.
          In this case, less IS more and made the figure rock!!

          I do agree about the BrainWave comparison though...may have to pick another up to make it happen.
          I always liked BrainWave ( and the Thinker) for that matter....

            (It would have been worse if they tried to do the toothy grin he had in the '40s comics, IMHO). Well Done, FTC.
            I completely agree- I got mine today, and the head size fits the character, for me. I gave him socks, some black Mego shoes, and regular 8" scale hands.

                Here he is in my display case along with some other figures to show scale. I personally think he's great.

                      That's a great group shot.

                      And I'll venture that FTC cannot improve upon your Brainiac head.

                        Now I'm tempted to get him, I will need to replace the hands with flesh monster hands, they would work well for the character.

                              It IS a green-painted/electrode-sporting WGSH head casting after all.

                                ^Obviously, and well-sculpted and in-scale no less. I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or busting my chops. I think most folks here know Thor makes a nice Brainiac.
