Hyperbole or not, I had lost all enthusiasm for this and creasy's reaction tipped me over the edge. Cancelled. I'm at a point where I really need to love a figure to go ahead with a purchase. If there's a chance I won't, then I'm dropping it. In some cases I can love a figure in spite of other people's criticisms - I think DX32 Joker would be one such figure - but with this one, for whatever reason, every negative comment brought me down.
Some would still get it and sell it on if they still don't like it in hand, however, me being a world class procrastinator when it comes to selling stuff, it'd just be something else sitting here taking up space for I don't know how long.
I'll see what Hot Toys comes up with. If they **** up again I guess I'll simply have to go without a modern Superman in my collection. I certainly won't be buying a Corenswet Supes with that godawful outfit.
