Oh FFS. A week later I'm back and people are still going on about this?! I don't have Supes yet either but have decided to focus at other things, like, y'know, LIFE until Supes PF arrives. I really hope Sideshow distracts us from the Supes shipping issue and announce the gigantic ES for Catwoman soon so we can all start b**ching about that instead of clogging up this thread. Seeya in a few ladies and gents. :)
Yeh, ES b****ing is more your thing :wink1:
 
#188 Exclusive Supes arrived today and is absolutely perfect :yess:
Yes, I flexed and was charged on the 10th.

I started by putting Saran wrap around the head and the hands. Then I put a little three in one oil on the foot and the cape pegs.
The foot peg seemed to get a little caught up and then plopped right down. I then put the regular head on which will most likely stay there for a while. It very nerve wracking putting this together. I maneuvered the cape around the head and removed the Saran wrap. The cape peg went in all the way in resulting in me being ecstatic over my holy grail.

With the New Jersey rain, it's a little dark to take pictures today. Maybe over the weekend.

I never collected statues before this, since I mostly collect 1/6 figures. When I saw how great the Superman PF looked in the preview pictures, I knew I had to own it. I have since purchased the Batman PF, DC Direct Museum Green Lantern and I am flexing the Wonder Woman PF.
The only downside is that I have him next to Batman high up. That is great for the Andy Bergholtz Batman which looks down but the regular Superman is looking up. Eventually I might find a new spot for them.

I have a feeling that no matter how many statues I collect the in the future, this will always be my favorite :)

I agree with you there. Putting that cape on is something else. And yes it can mark up the neck, but fairly easy to clean off too. My cape does stick a little too. hard to get it on, harder still to take off.
This is the biggest fourth scale yet, and I though Ben Kenobi was big.


Congrats Alan on getting this great piece.

Personally I have had no issue getting the cape on and off. I have done it several times. Switched heads around and so forth. I have had no issues. I laugh at all of this wrapping his head up stuff that I have seen. However I fully understand. It is more stressful then most PFs SS has given us.

To others who have not received it yet. Putting the cape on reminds my of the Batman cape. You have to find the sweet spot and guide it down. Same for taking it off. You have to sort of take the cape from the bottom and lift.

Veterans to this hobby should have no trouble. All others, just be extra careful :)

It is! But I also had to give my opinion on the grown men in here that won't stop complaining because they don't have their precious dolly in hand yet. :lol I say it all in good fun but it is kind of ridiculous to me. Like, he will be here shortly, calm the F down everyone. :cuckoo::lol I DID appreciate the fun email Sideshow sent out apologizing for the delay, and for me, that was enough to know he will be here sometime soon whether this month or next. No biggie.

Yeah... I am surprised at the anger people are having. No question, I would be disappointed. However going on and on about a statue seems strange to me. My best friend got this also and he was not in the first batch. He complained a little but that was about it.

But I am not in everyone else's shoes right now so I can't say 100% how I would be reacting. However I don't think I would keeping *****ing about it. SSC is what it is. There is no figuring them out :)

The difference between supes and batmans cape is the fact that you have to rotate Supermans. That's when the paint rubs seem to occur. I played it safe and wrapped mine in glad wrap.

It would be nice if you didn't have to take the cape off to switch heads.
 
You'll get a warning for those gifs now. Just a heads up.

As much as I love seeing it, specially in occasions like this when grown ups ***** about not getting their stuff first.

Really? I speak through gifs, it's an art, how could they disapprove?
