I'll take Kirby's version over anything for every character

I personally wouldn't go that far, but for this character...hell yes! Kirby's a God in the field of comics. His work will live on. I love his classic costume designs for the characters he created. However, I do like some characters he created with a more modern take better. One of the biggest sticking points for me is the Hulk. So many peeps love the Kirby Hulk. I'm not one of them. Peeps point at the original Hulk PF and say 'classic Kirby Hulk, it's a grail.' However, the only classic Kirby element to that PF is the head sculpt. Kirby drew a much smaller looking Hulk. His Hulk only had 4 fingers as well. That's one of the characters that Kirby created where I much prefer a modern take. Hopefully, one day SSC will release a modern raging green Hulk. I've been patiently waiting for one.

As far as this Darkseid PF is concerned, I'll happily take it the way it's sculpted and scaled. I just hope QC holds up on this piece. That's probably the only thing that can end up disappointing me.
 
This is the one representation that I have in mind for Darkseid (Can't stand 52's design and how huge they made him).
A lot of people are concerning about the height, which I believe it shouldn't be an issue since the classic Darkseid is not much taller than Supes...what people forgetting to mention is the girth of Darkseid, and that's what I think this one would hit right on the money.

I agree with you. As far as a classic Darkseid goes, this PF hits the spot for me.
 
I'm still on the fence of getting him. I already missing out on Ex so I dont feel the pressure now. I think I may just wait till in hand pics start to flow.
 
Lol true size...it's based on Kirby's version. He wasn't that much taller than Superman

Yup. But SSC has never shown a side by side pic of Darksied and Supes. With this in hand, we'll finally see it. Moment of truth....
 
I'm super excited Josh. Besides Joker, Darkseid is THE must have DC villain for my collection.

Getting this makes me happy and kind of sad at the same time. I'll have Darkseid which is awesome but I passed on Yellow Sinestro, which was dumb at the time, but I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get all the DC baddies I wanted. Now I need to fill that gap some how in my DC villain line up.

I see him for sale on these boards frequently for reasonable prices.

Yeah, Sinestro is still reasonably priced. Just pick one up when funds are available for you Josh. Be careful though, Sinestro does have some leaning issues.
