Holy moly, that red line I drew is just shy of 2 feet?! I had no idea this piece was so big. I'd still call it an oversized 1/4 though.

Exactly. I measured the curve you drew. 59cms.
It's a big boy.

It's a shame everyone makes Batman so giant... leaves me little hope of getting one that is properly scaled.

So back to Superman. Looks great. Not sure I would keep him in anything but a completely sealed, enclosed acrylic/glass case. That white fabric shirt frightens me to no end .

That’s the same thing that worries me. Those wires on the shirt might end up staining it. Let’s hope not.

Yeah, I have multiple PF’s with white shirts that are just fine. But I’ve had a hell of a time finding a Roger Moore PF that doesn’t have a lemon chiffon colored shirt. Still looking...

For the most part I love the way this looks, but I also cringe thinking how this may hold up over the long haul.

Modern statues made by decent companies tend not to lean. They use very strong metal rods that run up through the body.

The OG Superman PF and the DD statues lean because of the lack of balance on the pads underneath the statue. Tweeterhead's Harley leans because they used a clear resin to raise the entire statue.

Sideshow has Rogue, Gambit, Flash, Batman Beyond, and several others that hold up very well despite being very interestingly balanced. I doubt this statue will lean. I'd be more worried about the fabric holding up.

Yeah, everyone knows Batman is 8' tall.

You are right, mister snarky, he is closer to 1/3.
