Excellent figure. I have no idea who Markov is. I saw a gigantic cool looking figure and it was fantastic. Warning though, I heated my figure up in water. I do that with all my Mezcon, Neca, Hasbro and Funko figures as paint may make the joints stick. Warm water loosens it right up. This figure is well painted and well sculpted. It uses ball joints and it works for the ab crunch. I NEVER seen a ball jointed ab-crunch work that well. Usually companies do a poor job but FUNKO is the bast I have ever seen. For the price you pay, it is a real value and well worth it. I might get a couple more to be honest and that says a lot for a a figure I know nothing about and had no previous ties to. I have no idea what Evolve is still. Get this figure 5 out of 5!
