I am also a big fan of CR Superman, especially the first one in 1978. To me, that's the definitive Superman movie.
I too would love to have a perfect CR Superman statue, preferably licensed one. I've been waiting for one for years.
I love the one by Arnie Kim but its price is prohibitive for most collectors including me, and it is not a licensed statue.
This one by JND is brilliant in most respects except the likeness. To me, there is no "good enough" likeness. It is either spot-on or off.
A poor likeness is always a deal breaker for me regardless of how great the rest of the statue is. It is a shame, really.
I will just have to keep waiting for a few years longer, I suppose, until some companies like Blitzway and Prime 1 decide to give it a try.
I believe they will come up with a much better likeness (just look at their Scar Face, John Wick and Neo) and a more affordable price point.
