Superman is kind of like extended Bat Family right?

I'm very Gotham focused and picked up the Hal Jordan Green Lantern and Superman 2.0 because I love the sculpts. They might end up in a different area or get sold when I run out of room, but I have zero regrets until then. And if I get a classic Star Sapphire, Hal's not going anywhere

If you really like it then I say go for it.

I think I will! My comment was more tongue in cheek than anything. My real hope is that my waitlist status for the Exclusive version converts over on sideshow’s website.

Just trying to play the balance of waiting until I know I won’t be able to get the exclusive before missing out on getting the other regular version.

I really like that Hal Jordan as well! I’m thinking of getting XM’s 1/6 scale Super Sons statue to complement the Superman and maybe Krypto in the future so I’m holding out to see if that plan works out before I think about getting Hal.

Perhaps a bit of a rhetorical question but.... will see any Supermen, Supermans? Last sons of Krypton? anyway... in October or even this year?

iirc we have not even gotten a production update ever.....

I know shipping is a cluster you know what, but from what i see in other threads if you orderd from sideshow (Poison Ivy) some people have them in hand so maybe just maybe (Wishful thinking) we might see the last son of krypton under the tree?

We had a production issue (unrelated to ALL the other global stuff going on) and we should be internally reviewing a final production sample this week. Production on this one should go fast, but again, we're still stuck with all the other shipping container concerns so we're not totally sure when we will have him here to ship to customers. But we're pushing forward, hoping for the best sooner rather than later!

If they made them all in 1/4 scale by mistake, I'm okay with that.

This is a handsome looking statue of the Superman but a little small in scale IMO. I really hope TH will make a classic style one (think Alex Ross) in a 1/4 scale with cloth cape as an option. A simple but quietly dignified "Museum Pose" will suffice. None of those overly dramatic Wolverine-ish poses, please. That would be a seriously tempting proposition to me.

Something like this:

After seeing what TH can do in 1/5 with the MOTU line, I would love to see DC pieces in that scale. An Alex Ross specific line from the Justice comic story would be amazing in 1/5.

Sideshow just changed the release window from OCT-DEC to JAN-MAR 2022.

Just as well ... Trying to keep the amount of pieces being delivered in December to a minimum anyway.
