Prime 1 Studio - Batman: Hush - Superman (1:3)

I need one. Who is selling?

Hi everyone,

Thought i might share this with you all.

I wasn't expecting this, was gently using a soft brush to wipe away any dust from this statue. I was wiping dust off of one superman portrait, when some of the paint from his hair peeled off (from using a soft brush) (refer to image). Note that this is not the first time, with another prime 1 statue I had. So steering away from prime 1.

I could just paint it and no fuss anyways.

But makes me question whether this problem could happen with other statues from other companies such as XM studios - that paint can peel off at any time.

Pretty bummed my stupid collector brain didn't decide to want this one until almost a whole year after it wasn't available anymore. I say this 80% facetiously, but this is the kind of piece I wish they'd just release an "No-Edition-Number No-Extra-Heads $200-Extra You-Were-Too-Slow LOSER" Edition so I wouldn't have to sigh forlornly at ebay. Might just have to look at the Recovery suit version now.

Lol, I let my stupid collector brain pull that $h!t on me once with the SS Sabretooth and it was the last time. Don't wait too long on recovery suit as I'm sure same thing will happen.

If you didn't want it then, chances are you do not really want it now so what has changed? My guess is that it's the ability to say "I have it" while others present as envious of your acquisition. Surely, your interest is in collecting statues far more than it is in collecting approvals from random internet strangers. Just something to consider thinking about whenever you find yourself feeling something similar again. Incidentally, the fear of missing out is a real type anxiety. I see it all the time. It's another approval rating you do not really need either.

Hype collecting is a major part of this hobby.

Recovery suit aka Black Suit Superman is a most underrated piece. Curious to see if interest increases after the Snyder cut Batman movie and realize how awesome this character version looks. It is a beast!

Good points. I've been lucky in that big majority of the pieces in my collection I didn't regret getting even during a FOMO phase, but this one would be by far the most expensive misstep if that wasn't the case this time...

He really does look great. I may just have to decide whether I would want this to be "the" single Superman representation in my collection instead of a red/blue of some kind.

It's a space issue for sure. too much good stuff and the base is huge.

This may not be the red/blue superman, but I have yet to see a better version of this character. Statue companies will continue to pump out the red/blue so I think in time you will find that, but another black suit of this caliber time can only tell.

Sideshow had this piece for awhile in stock but it just recently went to Waitlist. Good luck!
