Got BOTH of the regular versions that I ordered today! I got reg's instead of EX because I thought the "Galactus" sign was actually a distraction and made the piece look less realistic with the cartoony logo next to it. Anyhow I LOVE this piece and love how the Silver Surfer has a magnet that attaches him to the board.
Anyone else a little dissapointed that they didn't use the metallic paint shown on the box? That metallic paint really looked badass in the pics on the box, oh well.

Well, I agree with you that the nameplate isnt the greatest that we have gotten in regards to marvel lsbs. However for me it was a must becuase I only collect the ex marvel lsbs. I have 8 of them and I like having all the nameplates displayed next to thier respective characters, not to mention the smaller edition sizes.
Also your DEF right about the difference in paint, but i think it looks better than the boxart. I dont know how to describe it and the effect dosent come out in pictures, but the "black, machined, spotted" look is my favorite part of this lsb.

Yup, in direct light it shines pretty brightly.
For comparison, Its not as bright as the Apocalypse's LSB neck guard, which is really bright.

same here, and have to agree.
Hey quad how much did you end up paying for it? I was able to snag him off ebay for $345 shipped. More then i wanted to pay, but the damn edition size was so small I could see why it is going for so much $$$$$$$$.

Nope the reg sold out right away. There was 150 of the exclusive made and 1250 of the reg. 1250 worldwide isn't really a large number either for a piece that is going to end up being VERY popular.
But AD still have the regular for preorder, e.g. BBTS.

Regular is fine for me. That nameplate cheapens the whole look IMO but then again, I'm just envious!

Hard Hero Surfer comes too!

Just got mine yesterday and love it. My only question is about where his "ears" are. There seems to be be some gold speckles just in this area. It looks like the paint may not have been applied properly, but I only notice it in these two areas. It sort of looks like I might be seeing it in the close up from the close up pic in kisspidde's post. Is this supposed to look like this? Has anyone else noticed this? After years of collecting with no issues, my last three purchases have had problems. I don't want to send it back if I don't have to. Thanks.
