A couple of pics of the light-up head. It's not 100% terrible but probably the most disappointing thing about the statue. I quite liked it in the earliest pics. They should have gone full angry.

When you say stripes on the side do you mean the vertical striation-like lines that run down his torso and legs? if so they are a different full black with no highlighting that stand out.

They are silver on Iron Studios piece which I think is incorrect. They are supposed to be a shinier more solid black than the rest of the suit.

If you look at the first picture I just posted you can see the difference better.

This is probably the best so far. Actually looks decent.

Thanks! Went ahead and did a repaint anyway. Never tried to repaint one of my statues before but I'm happy with the result. Much better than before imo.

The paint is called MIRROR from culturehustleusa.com in case anyone is looking to do the same.

Please post a pic of the finished product. It looks nice so far.

My replacement arrived. I thought they were just sending a body but they sent the whole thing. When I said I was okay with the new one I had to make the old one unsellable and send them photos.

As you can see there is more of a contrast on the newer one. It's edition number 060 whereas the other one was 500 something. It's very interesting to see the differences between them. The way the body fastens on is better in the later version. Differences in the skin tone and vains in the hands etc.

I would say the whole thing is slightly lighter but nowhere near as much in the picture, there is more light coming from the left in the pic.

I never cancel anything, but I canceled this. It looks nothing like Henry Cavill's Superman. Maybe if it was my only Cavill Superman statue the likeness being off wouldn't be so apparent in the collection.. But I have P1's 1/3rd and will also own Queen's. This just doesn't compare IMO.

I do hope Weta continues the line though, I love the Joker and Darkseid.

Gosh... the paint app is still bad. Both the S symbol are still painted black?!! Does WETA not know the S symbol is silver colour? Why do they continuously paint black over the S symbol on the later batches? Jeez...

I think saying it looks nothing like Henry Cavill is hyperbolic. He certainly wouldn't be confused for anyone else. And not like it's a high bar but it's superior to Sideshows 1/4 Cavill.

If I had the funds and the room. I would be rocking Prime 1 3rd scales too.
