Lame sauce
PM me if you do decide.
Yeah, that's the biggest issue as far as I'm concerned. Very glad I'm not dealing with the new color scheme.

It's really an easy fix if you got an airbrush. So easy to mask the entire statue to paint the boots the desired red and the cape you can paint separately. Then add the shading with darker reds. Seal the paint with clear and you're done.
That may well be, but I don't understand why anyone would want to go through all that. SSC should have just made all the future batches look like the original ones. I don't get the change. It certainly wasn't for the better and you would think that SSC would want a uniform look throughout the run of a PF. The last thing I want to do when I get a PF from SSC is break out an airbrush (which I don't even have) and make corrections.
For me personally, I'd rather pick up a first batch Supes PF (EX or REG) off the board or ebay, and call it a day. A first batch REG Supes PF can be had for retail or less and even the EX is selling for a reasonable price. On top of that, you can get the statue right away since sellers have it in hand. Why would anyone order this PF from SSC now? The wait for another batch to be produced will take months to arrive and when it does we'll need to break out airbrushes and correct the color scheme? Why bother unless you personally like the new darker red color scheme to the boots and cape. That would be the only reason I PO this statue direct from SSC now.
Yeah, I'll pass.

Yeah, I hear you man. I don't understand either why SS in all their infinite wisdom would change the color at all. It certainly does look more like an variant color Supes now rather than part of the original 5000 ES. I'm only offering a solution which is really not much work cause it's only 1 color. Speaking for myself, I'm getting this new paint scheme, cause I choose to buy something that is factory new and was not previously owned. But until we have this new Supes in hand, I want to reserve judgement on it.

But why?
Just buy the earlier version, easier than a repaint.

That's fair and understandable.

That's exactly how I have the Trinity lined up in my collection.pacman9270

Got mine the same way! Only difference is I have the Modern Batman version. Great display!

The trinty is no joke. I like how the collectors have their displays hooked up with prints behind the statues. You walk into these homes and it's like being in a museum with DC'c greatest heroes.

This is what I mean. Like a shrine! We collectors are indeed in love with these statues that give us so much personal affection. I need a to buy another BestA, cause i got more statues coming in soon.
Are these pics with the darker cape and boots? People asking way too much for the Ex.
