The pose and expression totally rule. They’ve captured Bizarro perfectly. He had a limping lumpy muscular look and was always hunched over. His expression is a mix between angry and confused, which sums animated Bizarro up pretty well. The rest of the sculpting is spot on, as you’d expect from a maquette. The base is the same standard one DC used to use.

The paint is somewhat sloppy, especially around the S symbol and the belt, but those layabout painters got away with it because that fits Bizarro. You can see plenty of minor problems in my pictures but this is one of the few statues where it doesn’t bother me. Another lucky break for the painters is that maquettes often have flat paint schemes and little in the way of detail. If this were a more complex piece, the paint problems would’ve stood out more.

If you’ve read this far and you’re thinking, “Meh, he’s ok but I just don’t care much for this version of him”, well you need to shoot over to Amazon and immediately buy the Superman animated series. It’s cheap as hell and some of the best Superman (and especially Bizarro!) entertainment to date.

4/5. I dropped a full point because man, those painters were so damn lazy! It’s not even a tough paint job! But to me, Bizarro here is a fantastic representation of the animated character in a simple maquette form. Some maquettes, like the Justice League ones, were just too damn boring. This one on the other hand, it shows character.
