The only other MoS statue worth getting was the Prime 1 statue.. but his upper body looked too weird for me to get and the pose and base, IMO, are boring.

I have the Resinworx piece and am happy with it.

A first look at 3D Print of Superman and Darkseid

Superman looks great. The engineering looks sturdy. Overall, I think the portrait is looking solid.

Nice video. Darkseid is a BIG boy.

For Superman, I was wondering about the cape holding up the body but the video shows, as komodo112 states, it is definitely sturdy. I wasn't a big fan of the proto portraits (they were close but missing Cavill in my eyes) but if they can improve the likeness in production, I will get this (I need a 1/4 Cavill Superman).

I am tempted by this Superman piece!! I'm gonna get the QS Darkseid 1/4 and I'm thinking whether if I should get this Weta Superman or wait for Queen Studios to do one...

I'm already all in on this idea.

I have this Superman as well as Weta's Desaad on order and am waiting to order QS Darkseid, would stick with Weta, but I can't do a sitting Darkseid.

I was on the same boat. Queen Studios is the only company I trust to get a Movie Portrait correct. They also confirmed on a livestream they'll make a Cavil Superman.

I ended up pulling the trigger on this one. I already like this more than the Prime 1 Statues. My pros and possible cons.

+ Its fully scuplted. Not sure if or how much fabric Queens Studio will use.
+ Love the flying pose
+ Great Concept: The debris hovering around Superman. I think it captures how powerful Superman is without him having to do anything.
+ Light up Portrait looks promising
+ Huge Cavil Superman Fan
+ Really liked the Snyder JLA Movie and the use of the Black Suit.

- I'm just really hoping Weta can capture Cavil's Likeness (so far I think they're on the right track)
- This piece has many dark colors. Not sure if a cloud/sky base setting would work better than all this rubble.

All great points. If they can get the item I bolded above right, I'll be in.

Another thing to remember... Doesn't QS tend to focus on giant statues? I'm a collector who is tight on space.
