I will be buying it and I hope the collar/cape are not attached. I think adding some floating debris should not be too difficult and will improve the sculpt.

It is very unlikely SS will change the sculpt but it has been done before, Supergirl as a few has said but also the COHs on Psyclocke PF.

Yeah, they made it much worse.

Oh I'm with you, I think you know that, but I was just saying they do make changes, sometimes, it's just not always changes people like.

So is everyone happy now? From the couple of photos I've seen it has been improved dramatically. Went from a 2/10 to a 9/10 in my books. Seriously impressive Sideshow, well done ✅

Heh, I originally voted "terrible design". Now this is the top of my want list. To be fair, I also backtracked a bit after seeing more "in person" videos of the previous proto, but this is lightyears ahead of that.

I would say the original design was maybe a 4/10. If I were to rate him now based on only these three photos I would guess I'd give him a 8/10 - provided everything we don't see like his legs/feet/the base look good. A PVC sculpted cape instead of fabric would certainly bump my score up to like a 9/10 or potentially 10/10, but we're stuck with fabric so that is why I am knocking a few points off.

I'd also rate this about an 8/10 as well. I knocked off a point because it's not his classic Byrne/Lee costume and a point for the cloth cape. Other than that, the improvements on this piece look fantastic.

The changes are an improvement. Makes me wonder why Sideshow adjusts Mags but not others like Deathstroke. Where's the line drawn?

The Deathstroker PF will always be a sore point for me. It upsets me to no end that we didn't get a classic Perez Deathstroke PF. I can't stand the PF sideshow gave us.

If I remember right the Deathstroke PF was already going up for PO by the time we saw it and people wanted changes, Magneto still isn't up for PO
