Still would've preferred a classic Byrne or Lee Magneto PF. However, this PF is a definite improvement over the prototype.

It appears that the overall pose looks much more natural and I like the changes to the torso, especially the belt, and upper body. The changes look very good, can't wait to see more in different light too!

This is more like it, i'll definitely be buying, can't wait to see the full reveal. Considering that the left arm is in the same position i'd be nice if we received both hands.

Its slightly longer and skinnier at the bottom. More importantly its shinier.
Hadn't noticed til you mentioned it but It does. Looks like they tweaked the face a little too.

looks like they also got rid of the horn-like curvature of the chest plate.

now that I'm home I can see the pics in better detail. They're very small changes but they made a world of difference. Still wish the cape were sculpted though.

I never hated this piece, but I like it now. Still one of the rare cases I'd prefer a sculpted cape over mixed media, but I suspect a similar engineering quandary with that as P1's recently unveiled Hush Superman.

That's 1/3 scale..their would have been no problem with a fully sculpted cape on this..Check out Xm thor what a fully epic cape can do.

I'm aware as a proud owner of the Batman PF. It's the hovering pose that could make it a long-term weight issue and, while I'll go to bat for SS any day, XM's preventative engineering with Thor's cape resting on the stone behind it is a cut above what I'd expect from a lot of companies.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
