Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I've got my issues with the SS stuff too, but do you really think that DS Superman is better than SS?

I guess you think Superman has black trunks with a red stripe then. You either need to change your meds or get on them.

Just look at this WW, it absolutely destroys the Sideshow "interpretation".

I'm not sure why Superman has black trunks in those but beyond that, yes. I definitely think the DS stuff looks better. They all have that black/blue shading in their trunks though, so there must be some reasoning behind it.

I wouldn't mind seeing both Wonder Woman pieces in person.

You probably picked the best one out of the bunch, but anyway.

If you pulled these out of the case and put them in the Sideshow booth with SS placards, these would be torn apart, except maybe WW, who coincidently was the least torn down out of the SS ones.

I like the SS ones (not so much the Joker), but they certainly aren't perfect. The seams on the arms look like they have been removed, so they actually have improved them from last showing. Good on SS for doing that. The DS do look good, but I've never seen a DS in person and wanted to actually own one. Happy for those that enjoy them, though.

Seams or no seams, I detest Sideshow's general art direction with regards to DC properties. It's unfortunate because I like some of their non-DC efforts, such as Cheetara.

Another Harley bust, I think this will be the third one now. They should make Superman shorts blue and W.W. shorts blue, not black and blue.

They're trying to mimic how shadowing was done on the TV show.
