Folks put to much on light up features, I'd rather the statue pop on its own without relying on the light up feature. Ends up being costly to get someone to fix.

Also that Clayface custom has terrible paint apps IMO, and also it was crazy stupid tall.

I'd be happy for SS to do a Clayface PF, but I rather have a Riddler/Nightwing sometime this century. If Tweeterhead does a bust i may just buy that and be avoid having a huge clayface PF altogether. Excited for the Grundy bust as i'll likely bite, that same group did a grundy that was huge.

From what I gather everything shown so far is without the light up and it look very colorful and pops a lot so I do not believe this statue is relying on a light up. The painted blue glow against the brown is a great color combo just as it is right now.

The proto pretty clearly shows it looking great without light up, so ignore it if you don't like it, and those that like it can use it.

I like the light ups but rarely use them. The key is that the statue looks good either way.

I do enjoy coming into my man cave every morning to get ready for the work day, flip my switches on the wall to turn on my lights and do enjoy how the pieces that have light up features light up and stay lit for the duration of my day. I am working and so it is a cool feeling to see them lit up as I have them all connected to my central switches. So I have the SS Iron Man Mark 42 repainted maquette that is lit up, the Storm PF base flickering, the Psylocke Pagoda flickering flame, My OG Darth Vader PF light saber, chest plate and belt lights and my Avengers "A" desk light that lights up as well.

They make me happy.

LOL!!!

I do have a custom Dazzler coming that also has the base lights that are lit up as well and can't wait for that one to arrive.

I think I may seriously consider the new Batgirl. We'll see. Just having a hard time letting go of my OG Batgirl that I have come to love over time.

Hmm, I would love that, but need to do some electrical wiring to make that happen with battery operated/push button activated pieces. Did you do additional wiring?

Just Google battery eliminators. There's no need to do anything complicated.
