Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF
For a Chris Reeve Superman statue, this is as good as it's gonna get for the collectors who wanna pull the rip cord on him. Besides what the majority are complaining about (pose/sculpt), if Sideshow could take some feedback with them, I'd only really change two things. First is the black portion of the base. Get rid of it. It looks tacky as hell. If you wanna keep the statue 30" in height then fine, but lose the black half of the base and just continue on with a giant concrete slab all the way to the bottom.
The second is obviously the Exclusive. Another tacky looking piece that doesn't belong with the overall statue. Sideshow is better off with a switch out portrait of Chris Reeve looking to his left as an EX. Something like that might serve as a better alternate to his in-flight pose. Other than that, I think it looks pretty cool. Not gonna pick it up, but it's very cool nonetheless.
Spidey had said earlier that a base representing a piece of the Daily Planet statue would or could make for a better base. I completely agree. Had they went with a piece of the Daily Planet to serve as the base, along with a switch out head looking to his left as the EX, it would've put it over the top for a ton of collectors. However, like I said, if SS wants to stick with the Hoover Dam as the base, that's fine, but replace the bottom half with a continuation of the dam.

but totally detest the bottom black base (as it totally has nothing to do with the overall theme!) WTF! 
and the EX is once again another poor choice by Sideshow...as others have already mentioned, an alternate head would have made more sense. I mean the crystal comes with a solitude of fortress base holder...again out of theme with the actual PF. No wonder why so many are saying they'll use the EX to go with their Comic Supes PF as they have the same bases...
