This is gonna rock sooo much. First, it's a line about the main man.
Secondly, who can argue at that price? Does anyone know which covers are planned?

Oh, T.C., congrats on another great statue. I have the batman black and white, and i absolutely love it.

I might actually pick up this line as well. Batman B&W is my favorite line period.

SRP is $ 55,-. Is there any one that knows which covers are supposed to be done?

Hmm. Didn't realize they were all Superman. Since they are...I'm not sure I like the selection.

The flag cover is okay but, IMO, not as good as the Superman #14 statue, which makes this one unnecessary.

I like Gil Kane as much as the next guy but his cover isn't an iconic Supes pose or anything. I think I'll pass.

As for the Ross cover, maybe I'm just getting tired of him. I'll see how this one comes out. I'm thinking this would look better as a bust and has been done before.

I know it isn't original or anything but I'd prefer:

There is a "Superman-Busting-Chains" statue!
Check out the thumbnails below.
One shows my Supes Display and the other is a close-up of the statue.

I'm not sure of the producer but if you are interested, PM me and I will check the box.

No prob, thanks for the scans.

Only now i am a little put off, because there could have been better selections i think.

#1 i like, but personally i would have loved to see the original first appreance of supes, with car.

And man, when you said the cover to mythology, i was soooooo hoping it would be this picture:

That would be the ultimate. Also, personally, i would go for this one:

So, i guess i have to wait and see the statues in real person to decide which one i'm gonna get. Very good idea, bad choices i am afraid.

I'd love to see 'em make a statue of Superman holding the car.

I actually have that statue and, while I love it, I wouldn't mind seeing one based more on Neal Adam's 1970's illustration.

Is the one on the right from the Masterpiece book/statue set?

It comes out January 25.It's supposed to be a series but I don't think Dc has announced any other ones.

why do they always have to tease up with all these pre-orders. i just wish when they started showing them off they would be coming out in a month or two. not like six months away. i lose interest sometimes because of the wait.

but of course i will wait for this one to come out. i just had to vent a little.

They put the release date out for 6 months because they want to gather as much pre order information as possible, so they can forumlate how many they are going to make and how many they can sell... So basically if they get a pre order for 20,000... they might make 15,000... Of course... I dont see numbers that high... more than likely these will be in the 5000 to 7500 range... And that long winded answer is the reason it is 6 months in advance.

I really like the look of the first one, but when I was figuring out the size I think it is going to be pretty small. Like the Kindgom Come set that recently came out. It is only going to be 7 1/2 inches, and Superman is in the air on a base, so the actual size of the figure is going to be like 4-5 inches. I hope I am wrong... :mad:

i hope so too. but i will agree i thought the kingdom come line was going to be bigger too. hopefully we will get some real pictures of this item soon instead of the promo pictures.
