Which one???

Recently got the Batman Begins/Bruce Wayne. Love it. Have Original Predator coming in the next couple of weeks. Want to buy an in-stock item in the meantime.

Which should I get? I know the Superman costs significantly less then the Indy or Sparrow.Don't worry about price.

Superman's great and all, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that costume have problems down the line. IMO, the Indy looks terrible, but the clothes are cool. I think the biggest home run out of that group is the Jack Sparrow, with Reeves as a fairly close second. That Sparrow is just too awesome, and the accessories are ridiculously great.

Jack Sparrow by a mile in my opinion. It is just an absolute home run on all fronts, and I don't see how they could really improve on this Sparrow down the line. Match the quality in different variations maybe, but better it? Hard to imagine...in this scale at least. Who knows what they will do and achieve in 1/4 though.

The Superman is very nice though, but I highly suspect that we'll see an even better DX version, with an even better sculpt and likely boxed with a Clark Kent version as well, at some point down the line. If you don't want to roll those dice, and potentially wait a good while to boot, then the current release is quite nice regardless.

The Indy personally I think is a dud, but then I'm all about the likeness, and I just don't like the sculpt and paint apps on the Indy head at all. There will be another Indy I'm sure, I'm waiting to see how that one turns out.

The posts suggest the Sparrow.....but the poll is slanted towards Superman. I might as well just get them both.

Sparrow. This figure is what HT is all about. So nice looking and a number of accessories. Great likeness too.

I'm going to say its a tie between Superman and Jack

Jack Sparrow has the likeness, accessories, clothing and endless posing. It should be the poster child for HT.

Something about Superman though...the face is intense. So many attempts at a Reeve Likeness from other companies with no real success. With HT, it looks like we have a winner. From the pictures I've seen, he looks great and the owners reported good reviews.

My vote goes to either or both.

Thanks all for the opinions.

Supes has been ordered.

I'll pick up Sparrow as soon as he starts hitting. Cant find anyone that has him currently in stock in the US

Then I just need to find me a good Alien.
