I think both of these new ones are solid representations of the artist's styles, but they're not for everyone. And it's really weird to see them focusing on artists like Cheeks and Moebius so soon when they have yet to do Curt Swan, John Byrne, Joe Shuster, or any number of iconic Superman artists.

I have to agree with this. I want to like this line, but other than the Timm version, none of them has spoken to me. Compare the first dozen or whatever there is so far of this line to the Batman B&W first dozen and the difference is huge.

Smile Galloway

I happen to like Galloway's superman, its wacky & quirky looking. I also happen to love his art work. Therefore, Galloway's superman will be a purchase for me.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

It's not just you. Even when they do statues based on the art of artists I love, I think they look awful. It's amazing how they nail almost every single Batman B&W statue and I've seen one "Man of Steel" statue I like (the Bermejo one).

The Wonder Woman line isn't faring much better for me.

Same here. I love Sean's art, and the Supes based on his art looks very cool to me!

The other two I don't like in the least.

Pole

I just wish Galloway's figure didn't have that pole holding him up like that. Perhaps him standing flat on the base with his arms crossed and his head slightly turn looking to his side, would have been better. That would be fun to look at IMO

Still, I'm getting him

The MoS line sculpting has been pretty decent and I like the different artists' styles, but the same metallic paints used on every single statue makes this line look bland and boring. Not quite the same effect as the Batman B&W line.

The re-use of same colors statue to statue on the WW AoW line also makes that line a bit dull too.
