Ordered the dual as well.

Will decide if I keep it when production is revealed.

Darkside has decent sculpts but the paint apps are lacking on some of their statues.

Prime/Blitzway are light years ahead of Darkside.

Superman's right eye iris needs to be orientated slightly more to his right to avoid that cross-eyed dead stare.

I'm not sure that will be possible if these are being pegged in to dedicated slots, unless they change those internally.

I feel like that slight tweak makes a subtle, but net positive difference. What do you guys think?

That slight tweak does make a subtle difference; I agree.

A few thoughts on this -

I think the Clark Kent is JND's best figure to date. It is spot on!

Superman is close but his headsculpt does feel a little thin and the hair is a little too poofy. I think even if they can lower the poofiness of the hair on the production piece, it will look better. The costume looks amazing and it is crazy that it is sculpted. I stated the sculpted fabric effect was also unreal on the suit of the Pattinson Batman. JND is taking sculpted clothes that look like fabric to the next level.

I know some folks were comparing this to the Arnie Kim piece. I do like Kim's Superman headsculpt better but I like almost everything else on these 2 JND pieces. Plus, I heard that the Arnie Kim pieces are pricey ($7000?). If so, JND's 2 pack price is a steal (which is hard to say when you are still paying $3600).

Ordered the dual. Can’t risk the sellout. If production looks awful I’ll eat the NRD….worth the risk…

I would expect it to sell out before you get a reply back.

The contact info should be on the site page.

Another thing to be mindful off- even the deposit is a large enough amount, that coming from a foreign company that you've never done business with before, your credit card company will likely flag the transaction as possible fraud and deny it initially. This happened to me when I ordered the WW last fall.
Getting that resolved may take time and in that time, this could easily sell out.
