Since this is a seperate review, I'm making a seperate post. Mostly because I can. 
First off, if you plan on buying Mr. O'Neal, you need the McFarlane Collectors Club NBA backboard, which can be purchased at www.spawn.com, or if they don't have any in stock, on eBay. The figure looks naked without the backboard. It is essential.
Also, if you plan on buying the Shaq and Backboard setup, you need about 3 cubic feet of space to display him. Mine is currently in the middle of my floor. I have no space.
This figure is a rare occurance in which the regular version(Red uniform) is a lot nicer than the chase version, in Shaq's case- his black Heat uniform. The paint application is great, the facial likeness is excellent, the choice of pose is top notch, and they picked up a lot of little details, including his tattoos, even the designs on the soles of his gigantic shoes.
Everyone knows I am not a basketball fan, however as an unbiased SportsPicks collector, I can tell you that if Shaquille O'Neal 2 is not the best sports pick, its certainly top 3. Even if you are not a basketball fan, it makes a great display piece for any sports fan.
