It looks like S-Hero is now making a 2.0 version of their Superman.
That's great for people that held off purchasing the first version but for those of us that purchased the first version I am not feeling so good about offering it so soon after the first one came out. I have their Batman arriving tomorrow and it takes away a bit of the excitement for me thinking their might be a 2.0 version around the corner. I would have preferred that they solicit a new character like Green Lantern before producing a 2.0.

100% agree with you.
This is such a bad gesture for those collectors who supported them in the first place.
It's like.. after waiting for months, finally got it, and a few days later: "oh we perfected the product, much better now!"
Why don't you just perfect your product first, so it will take years to make better ones, rather than releasing it only to find a way to make it better in just a few months?

I also agree, I was not pleased with that decision. So am I expecting them to 2.0 everything now?

Now they are really doing this all wrong.

It’s an accessories packs. Pack one is new heads, pack 2 is body with drape, and pack 3 is body with wired cape. What the hell.

I just went to their IG again and I see what you are referring to. Not sure if this is better or worse than a 2.0. Curious to see what kind of prices they charge for these accessory packs.

We're preparing to release 3 new accessory packs that will enhance the playability of Animated Superman. Players can choose any set to buy.
P01 including 3 heads.
P02A including one body with suit and cape(without weird) ,6 hands and 1 platform.
P02B including one body with suit and cape(with weird) , 6 hands and 1platform.

These new capes must be fixed to the body in order for them to sit like they do. It's a pretty **** situation really.

I do prefer that base though.

AlanJG1 · Oct 30, 2024

I am receiving my Dark Hero (TNBA Batman) today and wonder if there will now be accessory packs for new gloves, boots and masked sculpts.

Depending on the price, I might end up picking up a Superman drape cape body and use the old body to kitbash a Bruce Wayne figure.

At most I'll purchase th head, not a fan of this decision, feels like a giant middle finger to the first adopters

AlanJG1 · Oct 30, 2024

I figured I would share some communication on IG. It looks like they are listening to feedback, hence the accessory packs. Hopefully the pricing is reasonable.

At this point, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and am still grateful we are receiving these 1/6 animated figures with cloth costumes.
Looking forward to receiving my Batman today as well as future announcements from them for more animated figures.

Aybaig · Oct 30, 2024

I still haven't pre-ordered any of these figures, might wait to see if they'll be offering the same for the TNBA figure. Might get those sculpts and body if it's really a worthy upgrade. But whatever the case is, it's indeed a lame move.

batsheva · Oct 30, 2024

They should just ask the customers for feedback before going to final production.
Not releasing the product, and then listening to feedback, and trying to sell another body and cape, etc.

They might have been at a point of no return already.

SimonAT · Oct 30, 2024

I feel sad for everyone who bought these figures already, but I for one am glad this happened now and not after "Shadow Hero" (BTAS Batman) was released. Because I was on the fence on preordering that figure, and now there's no way I'm preordering/buying it until I see if a superior version is coming.

Are those superman sculpts the same as the first release besides the white eyeballs.

Cocoboloboy · Oct 30, 2024

There’s a lot of good here in what they’re doing but I definitely feel the gouge when it comes to timing.

I love and wholeheartedly support 1/6 accessory packs and additional sculpts being made available and them listening to feedback. However it is a bummer for us who have purchased the 1st release then having to debate whether or not to invest extra cash into the figure to make it more accurate and poseable.

It also makes me wonder if I should go through with my Batman preorder or just wait for the upgraded version.

Overall I really want to support S-Hero for even making a figure, reasonably priced and quality at that, that probably would never have been touched by the big dogs.

Wow, mixed bag in terms of my reaction here. On the one hand, my only reservation on buying the 2 Batmans they've offered so far was the lack of ankle articulation (went ahead and bought them both nonetheless from OSK, one should be here any day now).
So it's great to see that now they'll have that articulation point, but a real bummer that I'll have to purchase a whole extra body (or two).

Dave_W · Oct 30, 2024

You can buy the heads separately, so what are people mostly annoyed about, the new cape or the added ankle articulation?

Even with the separate heads, I'm assuming a lot preferred accurate eye colors which the original didn't have. Kinda paying extra just to get the accurate version.

AlanJG1 · Oct 31, 2024

The Superman bodies and heads are up for preorder on OneSixthKit
The body is $118 and you need to choose between wired or non-wired cape versions.
The set of 3 heads is $65.

I was hoping the body would be a little less expensive so I’ll really have to think long and hard if I need to upgrade a Superman figure I recently received.

Nine Inch Nails · Oct 31, 2024

Ill get a draped version and use what I have now to fly in the air. And the heads. Jesus, I'm such an idiot.

Dave_W · Oct 31, 2024

The capes don't look that much different from the originals. The boots, stand and heads should have been released together as the accessory pack.
