I wasn't intending to slam Les whatsoever. Les has a very distinct style, and carries that vision through well into his characters. His griff is great, and I was an original purchaers, and also have it's upgrade. Paul was striving more though, to have the character based on real world anatomy, stucture and posing. But technically, there is a LOT more going on in Paul's Griffin then Les's As far as model comparison, other then both being a griffin there are a huge number of differences between them. The mesh's muscles are actually based on real world muscle structure, niot just a stylized interperatation. Wing wise, there are 5 main wing componants in Paul's griff, plus 60 or 6 additional wing parts, each controllable for more realistic wings movement. (Paul actually used a number of web resources and a number of rigging methods to try to duplicate a real birds wing movement.) But you'll see whatever you want to see. You rebuild your work a number of times and spend a few extra weeks to accomodate user's wishes, and then get a slap in the face like this, and let's see how well you like it. I've seen the amount of work, and rework Paul has done not because he had to, but because he wanted everyone to have what they wanted in the character. And Miz, How much do you make an hour, just out of curiosity? Would you accept a NICKLE an hour for your work and talent? I'm not going to be lead into slamming the Sixus Griffin, because Les and Reb are good freinds, and they do quality work. Just like there are MANY poser Dragons available, there's plenty of room for more creatures. You can't really compare some of the cheap dragons with some of the expensive ones, and the same holds here. While YOU two may see me as having a vested interest in Paul's work, I see both of you as not even knowing what you are talking about, because you don't own both figures (like I do), and can't fairly compare them. And Mizrael.. you'll but a untextured inaccurate $35 Jupiter II model for $35, but Legendary Griffin for $20 is overpriced??

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
