I wasn?t aware of the change until now. I like it, for the reason you stated.
In my experience, anyone that uses the word ?woke? in a negative way is usually a turd of a human anyway, and probably is someone who probably hates what Superman stands for.
I?m sure I just offended some people here, not sorry

Are you talking about the Chinese market?

China is the biggest market outside of the U.S., but no, I'm talking about the whole world.

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

Unfortunately, Alex Ross Superman doesn't look like that at all.

This is the Alex Ross Superman I want, not that beef-cake with a cape.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

It obviously still represents america with the eagle, I couldn't care less about the phrasing but I don't think the base needs words on it at all

While I like the cape wrapping on the leg for Batman, I don't care for it with Supes for some reason...perhaps because it's such a tiny section of the cape?

Problem with allowing all these custom pieces. Everything is blending together. Now wrapping capes around ankles is the rage. I don't know why we as collectors allow bootlegs to continue to saturate the market. But LBS is going overboard with the bases. You can't have everything crammed into one statue.
