Just got this guy tonight. Honestly, I'm not as impressed as I hoped I would be with him in-hand. He looks great, no doubt. And the paint apps on the head/mouths are top notch. He's also got every accessory you could want from this guy.
But, quality wise, it doesn't feel HT-level to me. The plastic feels cheaper and the rubberish material also feels a bit cheaper (though I'm OK with that if it is more durable). Also, my figure had a number of issues right out the box. One of the magnets on a cape clip was unglued, and one of his belt accessories seems to be missing the magnet altogether. The belt is apparently coming apart in one spot, again apparently due to the shoddy glue.
Regarding design, the "relaxed" hands are more like Superman flight hands than realistic relaxed hands. Seems like the legs aren't connected on a ball joint since I can't get them to move laterally, but maybe they are just tight (I don't recall how the body is designed).
So, my first impression is that figure is a mixed bag.
Regarding the mouth pieces, these also have magnets in them and are pretty easy to swap out because of that. I don't remember reading that in the earlier batches, so I wonder if this is a new feature, or if I just missed the discussion. One of the pieces the mouth magnet connects to also was loose on this guy, by the way. Surely seems like EB needs to work on glue and packaging issues that would make things come loose in transit.
