Totally in agreement..something just doesn’t sit right without it.
Very unfortunate as I was thinking about the possibility of grabbing the 1/6 version due to space..but I’m going to pass.


Plus his lifeless expression when using his heat ray is terrible. That needs to be addressed.

The one pic of his face looks like when Zac Effrontery got Botox.
Can’t wait to see more. Hopefully they give me a portrait i like as much as the rest of this piece.

I don't think any manufacturer has managed the red laser eyes well. XM is no exception. Looks like Superman has the flu.

I like the statue itself, apart from both portraits, quite well.

I like him. Never owned an XM statue before. If the price is not crazy high, I can think of going for Version A.

His portrait and belt can definitely be improved. Did anyone find the left armpit seam to be unsightly? Would the arm detach there? Concerned about probable lean too. Though, don't remember any XM statue that had leaning issue.

Agree about the portraits. They are just off enough that I can't get past them to purchase.

I mean, it's just a Superman pose. Only so many floaty ones you can do.

And since when are Parademons full robots? I get they might not be able to do a gory version, but I thought they were at least somewhat organic.

I would think that XM put Supes on AKP to go with their DS they are doing

I can't say I like anything about this. The head sculpts would be fine if the pose for more museum like. TH and SS still beat this one in both 1/4 and 1/6. What's up with the leather looking cape? A lot of weird elements here. They did a great rebirth black Supes.

Even after seeing the XM, the OG Sideshow remains my favorite 1/4 Supes. I guess I just prefer museum poses better.

As much as I wanted to like this, I just can’t get behind it. The portraits are dull, the texture and the paint make the cape look awful, pose is slightly awkward and they couldn’t even get the belt right.
