You don't have to worry about that. Tony Cipriano has nothing to do with this head sculpt. Andy is the one handling this sculpt. It'll look great even if they go with light up eyes for the EX. This isn't meant to be a knock against Tony but I just don't like many of his head sculpts. Ex Bucky Cap, Namor Com, Abomination PF, Cyclops PF EX, and the Silver Surfer Com all have head sculpt that I do not care for. Andy's work is some of the best in this business. I have no doubt that both head sculpts on Superman will look great. Andy has a GREAT track record with many awesome sculpts.

I cant wait for this thing to be up for PO! I'm sure it will be a killer PF no matter what.

That would be great too. I am still worried about a light up messed up head. I know that it takes room for a light up feature, and that can mess up the anatomy. However if you guys are vouching then I will try o calm down and lose the shakes...lol.
Anyone know how tall this one's going to be? Trying to figure out if he'll fit into a BESTA compartment. Without having to adjust the shelves.

My guess would be about 24-26 inches. Joker is 24 and Batman 25. What are the internal measurements without changing the shelves?
Hmm, around 25 inches. Actually a little less, I think.
You can judge by looking at this. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40134050/
Why they have to make all these DC PF's so tall? The Superman base is almost rediculously tall.

Supes will be around 63cm like Bats. I think u will need to adjust the shelfs. I have a Besta and moving on buying a Pax from IKEA , which wont have any issue fitting any statue at all

As much as I like these I agree. They r getting bigger which is making display options more complicated

Honestly, I have been considering getting a Pax over a double Besta for that exact reason.
Which model pax we talking Spidey?

This week! I must say Supes is not a very spooktacular kinda guy.
LOL! Yeah Chin, he doesn't seem very spooky of scary. Oh well, so long as he goes up in the next week or two, there will be a lot of happy campers around here.

It would hold about 15-18 PFs with room to spare in the height department. However it is the cost of the sliding doors, and then having to replace the frosted glass with plexiglas that is holding me back. I saw a wardrobe at Rona yesterday, and one at Wallmart too actually, that might do. They would just need some modification, and I would have to get some custom plexiglas to replace the doors. So they would swing, not slide, but I'd it could save me $350 bucks I would consider it. After all that is the cost of a PF.

The besta can hold batman no problem. The shelves are ajustable. You also have a little room to play without impacting its appearance if usong glass doors
So you think it will hold the three DCs?

Yeah I know there is wiggle room with the Bestas. What I am also considering is the price point where you get, at least here in Canada, about a whole other single Besta for about $100 more then a double. I need to do some more looking in person.
The Rona one may get some more of my attention later today. Also I may go to a custom plexiglas/glass store here in Toronto. If a could get the doors for even the same price as ikea it would be worth it.
