Atleast that's the impression i got when i once questioned them on a particular piece.
Their reply implied, they were offering something close to the original. They did not use the word 're_cast'.
I will not mention their name here, as it is against form rules.

They took over the Ross Superman from another company that ran off with collectors' money. They honored those orders for those collectors.

That's good to know.
I have a piece on pre_order with them
It should ship in 2024. Only then can i form an honest opinion.

The factory, for reasons unknown, painted one portrait with gray at the temples, and one not, for all the statues, both classic and KC buyers. So all the classic Supes customers have a portrait with gray hair at the temples, which doesn't make sense, and all the KC customers have a portrait with all back hair, which also doesn't make sense. The company hasn't yet figured out how to rectify the situation.

That is exactly the scenario I am worried about. Even if the statue turns out fine I would also be worried about the shipping process and customer service.

What happens if the statue comes in broken? Will they replace it? Too many unknowns.

Many here know I am a big fan of Alex Ross Batman and Superman. I actually posted the renderings of both statues here before.

I should be all over these two statues and yet I am too afraid to deal with an unknown company.

Good thing I didn't jump on it. I would have been one of the victims which they took the money from and ran.

I am so glad Prime 1 is doing both characters.

I feel like I dodged a bullet not ordering that Ross Supes. It was a great price, but there were so many production issues. Most capes don't seem to sit flush and the paint on the S symbol is really weird. I like some of the pieces that group produces, but I continue to just follow and not order anything

I have the Green Goblin from the Emma group on order, but I am super tempted to sell it once it arrives to get your version at some point. I love the flaming pumpkin.

By the way, what camera are you using for your photos?
