Yes, the OG Superman PF is definitely sold out. However, the price of it in the aftermarket is very reasonable. I've seen REG editions sell on ebay for $50 - $100 off retail. At such a reasonable price point, I think the PF offers the most bang for your $$$ if someone is looking to add just one Superman statue to their collection.

However, if a collector is looking for a 1/6 scale statute specifically, or looking to collect other 1/6 scale pieces and display them with Superman, I'd go with Tweeter Supes all the way. It's definitely the best looking 1/6 Superman statue for me personally and will display perfectly in a 1/6 scale lineup.

I have the original SS Supes and so far nothing has convinced me to drop another $600+ for another Superman statue. I did upgrade mine with a dynamic Dan fabric cape. As far as I’m concerned I have the best one.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Adding a fabric cape definitely brings it to the next level. I love mine, but I will say the Prime 1 HUSH Superman is pretty dang cool. The 1:1 bust is also up there as one of my favorites.

I've seen the Hush Superman in person and yes it's cool. Just not cool enough at those prices IMO.

Yeah, I'm thrilled with my OG Superman PF. Can't see replacing it with any other 1/4 Supes statue. Especially with the high prices of 1/4 statues nowadays.

P1 Hush Superman is easily the best Superman available/made. If you don’t want to spend the money/allocate the space I get it, but it’s absolutely the best Superman statue and it’s not really close.

It’s not my favorite. I think the portraits are ugly. More Frank Castle than Kal-El.

The portraits on the p1 Superman are ugly looking. I‘m also not a fan of the body sculpts of the hush Superman and Batman. The muscles are bit much for my taste.

I don't care much for the P1 portrait either, but the exaggerated muscles don't bother me, I think the presence is out of this world. They do phenominally project the power of Superman, probably better than any other statue, that's true... I just happen to be looking for a statue to emphasize his humanity at the moment I do think P1 is the Superman to get though if you want to portray his alien nature and unparalleled power!

And I love Jim Lee

Sorry, but for me personally, Hush Supes isn't my ideal Supes statue. But hey, whatever we like (or don't like) always just boils down to personal preference.
