Prime 1: 1/3 Justice League - Superman (black suit)

Another Snyder-cut re-colour.
Good for the 1/3 collectors who liked the 1/2 scale version.

I quite like the heat-vision portrait against the black.

Why is the black costume variant $200 more?

Pure money grab. If the weta likeness is just as good, they will get my money. Seeing as they completely botched the blue version, this is a pretty risky buy. Worst case, wait for QS to get the rights.

Hmmm, I didn’t even look at the price. Good question.

How come the armpit are is obscured in shadow? I assume the problem with the fabric wasn't fixed.

It’s okay. The shadow is included.

The original images were shadowed like that too. I don't think these are new photos - fairly certain they've just desaturated the colour ones.

Who wants to bet that this will have the same armpit issues?

A week after the armpit issues were brought up, they uploaded videos to their Facebook page to more than imply that the red/blue suit could be adjusted/fixed to render the armpit issue a non issue; except there were a few of us who questioned them that their videos didn’t in fact show or prove anything of the sort. Except most everyone took it to mean exactly that and if we asked about the issue they would just refer us to those videos.

In the end I was proven right whereas all those who applauded Prime 1 for their videos and ‘critiqued’ my point of view remained silent on the issue.

And after accumulating 30 plus Prime 1 statues (including bust pieces) I pretty much haven’t bought or preordered a single Prime 1 statue since, as I hate being lied/misled to. Heck I even cancelled a few pieces... though that may have had more to do with me ordering too many Queen Studio pieces.

To be quite frank I think this statue looks great; definitely an improvement over the previous 1/2 scale black suit superman. You get a far better base, alternate heat vision portrait, and different sculpt. Placed my preorder, looking forward to this piece.
