I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Thanks for the great review, Bats! I had finally decided last week not to purchase this piece. Based on the majority of the pics that I had seen, I wasn't too impressed. I also don't understand why they didn't use clear resin for the "flying" effect like they did on the Starfire Maquette. Despite being a huge Superman fan (and I actually like a good number of the DC Direct statues out there), your review confirmed my inclination to pass on this one. It's gotten to the point that there's so much product out on the market that unless a piece completely "wows" me from the beginning (especially one that's $225 msrp). Unfortunately, this one just didn't do it for me.

Very nice review as always B_C. I agree with your review on this one. I still think the definitive Superman sculpt has not been made yet. Some nice ones out there but non you can say "That will never be bettered".

Do you think the Superman Forever statue will be it? I think it could be.

Have you a link? I did like the 1/4 scale Reeves piece that Gruson commissioned.

A superman based on McGuinness art would be best IMO.

Great review, Batsy! Damn it if it doesn't p*** me off that DC can't put out a decent statue! My fingers are crossed for the ALEX ROSS SUPERMAN FOREVER statue!

Great review Bat_collector.....I've been on the fence about this statue since I first saw it and I didn't like the way the leg was phased into the arch either. Still, I've never actually seen it in front of me and I'm worried I'll regret not getting it if I let it slip by. I wish I had a good LCS that I could just pop in and take a look.
Does D Rod carry this?

great review for sure. I was on the fence about this one and now will not be buying it. I tohught it was much larger and the flying streak would be more translucent.
