I think with the way Inart's effort looks right now, the JND gets more praise. JND got the base sculpt right, but the paint application and hairstyle need to be tweaked on the Superman statue.

Arnie Kim is the master. But all masters have their price.
Similar to JND The Batman.. Gets some praise but the sculpt is off.
I'm probably one of the few who would buy a good Dean Cain Superman figure or statue.
I might if there was an equally good Teri Hatcher Lois figure.

I hesitate to say the politics killed it for me, but all the Fox News stuff just makes me sad, man.
I kind of get how Conservatives feel about DeNiro because I look at fixtures from my childhood, like Dean up there; I LOVED Lois and Clark and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, growing up, and I’m just like “yeesh.” It’s not even about the actual politics so much as the vibe. When I see the likes of Dean Cain, Scott Baio, and Kevin Sorbo waging their twitter crusades or, in Cain’s case, going on Fox & Friends to talk about how Superman’s not Superman anymore because he’s got a bisexual super son, when he probably hasn’t touched a Superman comic since the ‘90s, it plays like a bitter, old B-Lister grasping whatever opportunity he can to try and stay relevant.
The worst part is that it’s not even that I can’t see him as Superman, anymore. It’s that my suspension of disbelief only stretches so far and I can’t see a universe where this Dean Cain ever stood a chance with *peak* Teri Hatcher. I’d believe he could fly, first.
Well, I guess it only kills it for you if you’re on the opposite side of their views and/or feel so strongly about it that you let it affect you. I tend to not let an actor’s personal life lessen my enjoyment of something they did or do that means something to me; so, for me, none of that stuff matters. I still periodically binge watch a few episodes at a time of Lois and Clark and enjoy it for what it is.I hesitate to say the politics killed it for me, but all the Fox News stuff just makes me sad, man.
Probably best to not bring up politics though as that’s an easy recipe to blow up a thread.

Presumably actors we've enjoyed have always been conservatives or have always been liberals. Something changed in the last few years where that became a huge problem.
I think of actors like I think of businesses--they are all better off making the world think that they are apolitical. You want people who vote for Rs and Ds to go see your movie, and buy your McDonald's hamburgers, and if you are outspoken, as Batfan says, you're just gonna piss a bunch of people off.
But back on topic, the statue they show up above has the same issue as the Inart figure, in my view. These are extremely talented artists doing their best, but that smirk is so damn hard to get right. I get the motivation. It's what makes Reeve distinctive and iconic in many ways. But if you can't get it 100% right, like Trevor Grove-level perfection, then best just not to go there. I don't think I've ever seen a statue or figure that nailed it.

It would be pretty neat if it came with enough accessories to make a Clark in transition to Supes. Shirt that unbuttons in the front, tie to one side, S shield dickey under the shirt, in a running pose. How cool would that be?

Exactly. It feels like a waste of air to carry on about this at such an early stage. IMHO lol.
