Thank you guys, I really appreciate your advice.

I think this is an exceptionally well done statue and I was really thinking about getting it but I had already ordered the COMIC PF and have far too many other pre-orders waiting so I had to pass. I may still get this in the future since I think it would be cool to have this one, the comic one, and the Reeve one displayed together.

Don't worry too much about what negativity some other people say about certain pieces and be sure to make your own decisions based upon your own feelings. Personally, I love reading other's opinions about statues that I've either pre-ordered or am thinking about getting because many times they make very valid points. I have, on two occasions early on made the mistake of changing my mind on a piece because of insane naysaying in one of the forums. In both cases the statues eventually sold out and I saw after-the-fact that my original feelings were correct. Being new to statue collecting, I was blindly trusting the opinions of others, since they were more experienced, instead of listening to myself.

If you love it, get it and you will thank yourself every time you walk into the room and see it there. If it feels right, it is right.

This is so true!!
Many times my partner has been a little less than enthusiastic on some pieces ive liked and not ordered them. Then they sell out! So, Babydoll pf, Poison Ivy and Joker have had to be bought at a dearer price! Ive learnt my lesson and gone with what I like. After all, my partner is into Predator and LOTR and I like the rest lol!

I like this MoS statue and ordered it day 1 (befor eseeing the movie, lol). Looks great, and can't wait to get it. What woul dbe really awesome is if you could somehow get this one's head and put it on the comic PF...that would be the ultimate for me (Cavill has the ideal Superman look, imo).

I don't know how many new pics there are except I know the close up of the S symbol was not there before and the close of the diorama base wasn't either.

Don't we like this then? Its a definite purchase for me

I bet they set the ES shortly after the blu-ray is released.

I am excited for this piece, too. I enjoyed the movie, and I think Cavill has a great Superman look.

I think it's the cape...it wasn't fluttering out behind him before, was it?

It's clear not many people want this. Myself included. Love the comic PF but MOS is awful IMO.

I had this PO'd, but ultimately decided to go with the 1/6 hot toys figure and cancel the PF. It's a nice piece, but the comic PF just blows this out of the water.

Yeah, they posed the cape differently in these new pics.

The SS photographer who took these photos is just AWFUL. Grainy, blurry, awful pics. Every pic from SDCC taken by amateurs depicts this statue way better than anything up on the website.

The new pics are showing an updated costume for the piece that better represents what was on screen. So, yes, these re new pics of this piece, not old pics with different backgrounds, etc.

Looks like they fixed the color of the cuffs and the trim lines to a proper darker blue and made the 'S' shield a more accurate color as well. Maybe changed the 'belt' too?
