I've got The God Butcher and followup GNs on my to read pile.

Would have reflexively liked to have seen the classic silver and bronze age costume, but if I enjoy those two GNs enough, I'm sure I'll be more than fine with this.

FWIW, I think this obliterates the previous two PFs. Well, as long as the engineering holds up. If it does, no contest IMO.

In fact, with the recent reveal of Supergirl I'd been tempted to post about how it reminded me how often in the past I'd said "I wish Sideshow would step up their game".

Then they show this and fully slap the taste out of my mouth.

Come on, at least then, they could justify the atrocious price tag this will sport...
Isn't the Prime 1 1/3 Superman a straight up and down pose, whereas this is a dynamic pose where it looks like all the weight is being supported on the left leg.

And didn't someone from Sideshow say, that if the Deadpool was marketed now it would've been put under their Sideshow Maquette label. I could've sworn I read that somewhere.

Yeah, this doesn't look balanced enough to be leveraging all the weight on that one side and thin strip of flame.

I seriously have my doubts they've fully done their homework here, but only time will tell I guess.

This statue is a 10/10 and please Sideshow have ANYONE besides alex pacenko or ian mcdonald do the art print, those guys are great, but you've used them too many times already! Get Esad Ribic to do the fine art print!!!...or Adi Granov or Dave Wilkins!

I’d be down for Enchantress, but I would like to think they would do a Loki first....however since it’s been decades, I’m wondering if he will ever be made.

The fabric cape has nothing to do with engineering. Sideshow just isn’t doing sculpted capes anymore.

I know earlier I said I liked this piece, but now that I think about it, it's just ok and I wouldn't even consider ordering unless it's reasonably priced... everyone else feels the same, right?
