I have wanted one of these types for awhile. Late in January one surfaced that screamed at me. I liked how both of the main figures were well centered, usually one or the other is missing some portion.

No kidding. Been wanting an example for ages. Was a cheap too, even if it was from a UK dealer & their currency.
