    Nice, if that were an actual card, I’d collect it so hard.

    His stats? Probably baseline 2s and 3s with 7s as the variable upper limits depending on who he's mimicking.

    His aura was great here but I think this was the only time his aura has been technocolour post-resurrection. And that coat needs to be part of his regular outfit.

    I don't know who is on colors here, but as lovely as the figure is here, the 90's interpretation of his aura still reigns supreme.

    Yes! I'm really wondering what is the reasoning behind subduing his rainbow power signature. That what makes his mutant powers so beautifully unique and a little camp.

    Isn't that in part because of how the coloring works these days, espcialy with bandwith of the modern digital methods, whereas in the 90's they still used a smaller color pallet, which however also made bright colors much more noticable?

    Shhhh! G...don't you know? Everything's a conspiracy! Goddess forbid...an artist or colourist apply their own signiture style and not try to mimic someone else from 3 decades ago.

    I LOVE this card variant...but then I've LOVED all RD's card variants.

    Exactly. I thought current colourists would love to go crazy with Synch's aura. Instead all of them have been depressingly bland. The colour art above is the only time I've seen his aura verging on vibrant since his resurrection.

    Matt Wilson (https://www.instagram.com/colornmatt/) has colored all of RD's trading card variants. He colors most of Dauterman's work (although RD colored all of his costume variant covers himself!).
