Yeah, my wait list from Sideshow converted and Superman came this week along with Batman.

I think Tweeterhead did a great job fixing the statues.

The "S" looks a million times better. Where the cape meets the suit isn't as flush as I'd like, but overall I think he looks great.

The base is heavier than I expected and I think...but can't confirm...they may spun it 90 degrees so it's wider and handles the weight distribution of the cape better...it's quite solid on the base and the base is solid on the table.

The cape has a single non-magnetic key in the right shoulder. It sits in there ok but obviously you can tell from the pics that it fails completely in creating the illusion that it's part of the suit unless you're six feet away. Especially when compared to 2 DCD Superman pieces I have that cost $100 less.

The end result is I'm keeping it, it's kind of....ok. I guess. It looks good with the rest of the line as long as you "stay behind the Tweeterhead line" (about 4 feet away from the cabinet as demonstrated by the last pic) when viewing it.

Nice set up Karnis. The really scale well with the designer series. Supes looks superb

Thanks for sharing! Gorgeous room setup. Clean, not cluttered, great variety of items and displays.

Where did you get the pedestal for the Shakespeare bust? I'd like one for mine.

I think mine is a 42" which runs about $67 + shipping. Easy to set up & very sturdy. 15.5" base...I've put the P1 AK Batman 1/3 statue on it.

I'm using Klipsch main fronts + subs and Definitive Technology center & surrounds. Marantz pre-pro & Marantz 5-ch power amp.

It looks like the cape cut at the collar has settled in a bit and is sitting a little more flush on the body...you be the judge.

I think it looks awesome. It does look like it settled in. I need to get me one of these.
