Well, I picked mine up. The heads, cape, and base look good, but the body is kind of a mess. There's like a chip of red paint missing on the left side of the symbol (his right and the side you'd see) and the symbol itself...just wow. There's red in the yellow, yellow in the red...and the belt is just as bad -red, yellow, and blue all bled together in various places. It also has the cape coming out of the neck issue...and yes, the red rubs off onto the neck. There are also fine "scratches" all over the blue body -not sure if that shows up.

Got mine today. Will have to take pictures tomorrow but I have the cape issue as well. Also the paint on the yellow belt is odd. It looks like they painted it blue first and then painted yellow over it. I can see blue streaks where the yellow paint is thinner.

The thing is, you can spend $150 on a DCDS Jim Lee Superman statue & get a much, much cleaner paint job. Whether or not you like the pose is a matter of personal taste.
When a $275 statue paint app can't compete with a $150 one, I have to pass. I much as I like the pose of the TH, I can't justify paying that price for that lack of quality control. I cancelled mine after the second set of pics posted because I knew exactly how this was going to trend. Fortunately, The DSDC JM Superman matches up really well with the TH Supergirl. The WW is going back because of the defective neck seam...waiting for SS to respond to my RMA request.

What guarantee to get spending a G or more? Zero.

I received my Superman today.
While the paint isn't 100% clean (there is some yellow bleeding on the corner of the emblem), I have seen worse and can live with it.
My main concern is how the cape fits. It is perfect on one side and is coming out of his skin on the other side.
I'll probably contact Debbie tomorrow to put myself on a list for a replacement cape.

The low quality paint apps are a simple problem that is going to amount to an expensive fix, no matter how they go about addressing this.

You don't know what wheels are in motion to resolve this.

Thx For the pic great for Comparing Diff produced statues with T.H. You make a compelling argument. Hope when mine arrives it wont be as "sketchy" as some seem, Logically they all cant be perfect. Time will tell.
