The EX will be, but as of RIGHT now the Reg has nothing up on the SSC site. Not a TBD or eve a Limited Edition. Being honest I don't want it to have a limited edition othe Reg simply because that won't encourage SSC to so more awesome and innovated Superman statues in the future. This will be the ONLY one for ALL time so to speak... And that is just boring from an artistic stand point.
MM if you haven't seen the Hulk in person then you DON'T know how AWESOME it is. It is an amazingly huge, detailed, and authentic piece of art. Number or no... It is going to come my way one day, but the again that is my choice, and not everyone feels that way

To be honest... While I LOVE BOTH the Reg>EX head simply because of how ICONIC it is. Also, HONESTLY marker the Reg head doesn't look that old if you REALLY get a good look at it... At least that is My opinion. As I have said before I think the old malook comes from the side and back lighting that was used which makes his hair look grey on the sides. I think he will look great in natural light... Kind of like in this pic... But less blurry....lol..

The problem is while the flames could come off or out, they would be incredibly SMALL and hard to adjust. Also even if you could remove them, how would you get something in and out of the eye socket... Hence the problem. I guess I am one of the lucky ones because I love it... Am really sorry more don't too.
It could be the lighting, true spidey. I hope so anyway.

Well I really blew the reg portrait up in high res, and the face looks to be about 35-45ish, and there aren't a lot of lines on it, and the grey really looks to be reflected lights... if the hair is jet black like from that screen cap I posted I think we see a young strong Superman

How I still feel after gettin my PO in
And it's all your fault that it is so may pages back!!!
Ardeth have you seen them on a good big screen???? As for the word MOST... I would be careful using it... Here is a pic of the poll over at SF
Almost 50% are fine with the... 30% are buying them anyway... Another 10% are getting the regular, and 10% weren't getting it anyway.
So in reality out of the people who were going to actually BUY the statue probably 55-60% don't mind the Ex, and another 30% are still going to get it.
Honestly, there are just as many people who like the Ex as who don't, maybe even more, but as happens most often in life THOSE WHO ARE UNHAPPY SCREAM the LOUDEST!!! However, that doesn't make them the majority.
The Only thing I will say about that poll is that I would answer "I am fine with it getting the Ex anyways" and I don't like the worms. Like I have said I will order from SS no matter what for the points and good CS.
Soooo I am getting the EX because it's the same price and I get an extra head. Now if I could save 150.00 and get the reg I would but what I would save now is not worth it.
Now I am not saying that pople who voted that they are OK with the EX are not in love with it. But I would not doubt that there are some who voted that way who planned on displaying it with the Reg head no matter what and don't care about the EX head (sort of like the T1 PF for me. It's a nice Ex and All but I will never display it). It's all about the wording. While I know that people who don't like it or more apt to complain I just can't believe it's lile 7 to 1 whe reading the post of people who don't like it to people who do.
A better pole would be.
Do you like the Ex Head
Yes
No
I don't care
I would vote - No but at this point I think I have just accepted it and might even vote I don't care.

yeah that was me...
How I still feel after gettin my PO in
Bah you HELPED TO!!!!!!
You knows get what you are saying, but I just think there are more who lik it at least that aren't speaking up as much as those who don't is all. In the end I am luck to LOVE both, but I do feel that he Reg head is the better sculpt.
Edit: I think it is safe to say I have contributed 10-15 of the last 230 pages....lol

Spidey, why don't you jus knock it off and agree with me that the EX head kinda sucks with the worm eyes!!!!
The name calling was not directed towards you.
In regards to batman, I misunderstood your post. I thought you had said only 15 people converted. My mistake (due to skimming the multitude of posts) and I apologize.
As for the reason to put my name on the waitlist, yes, it is to test the limits of SS "sold out" claim. I would be doing it weeks after the thing is sold out and declining it, if by chance it converted, enabling the next person on the list to get it. Not sure how this would "block'" another collector, and as for being a "jerk" I would suggest anyone buying the exclusive even though they have no interest in it (thereby truly depriving someone else from owning it) better deserves that title.
For what it's worth, I own 7 superman statues, 2 of them being cool 1/4 scale customs, and I will be getting the regular version of this.

You could be right Spidey, hopefully the EX will look better in person. I'll give it a chance.
As for the Hulk, I don't love it enough to forgive the LE, but to each their own. I prefer the original Hulk PF.

Past experience: The retailers do take time to ship out, but they do not get very late.
I get stuff from CSC. Got my Joker on 22nd August last year (I am overseas). Don't think it got too late. I have purchased from fanboycollectibles as well. I once asked them about how soon would I get (an item) once SS starts shipping; to which their reply was:
So hopefully, it should not take too long. Just ask BBTS, guess they will be able to give a better picture.

Lol because when I looked at it I see flames not worms....lol. Part of me does wish they would have gone just eyes because I am sure i would have loved it too, and then more people would have been happy.

So my buddy who knows nothing of the collecting world and SSC looks at this and casually calls it a "doll" even though I had mentioned several times it's a statue!
