I thought they were getting better again (the DX Mime joker especially is as sharp as ****) but I was really let down by the finish on Jor-el, which is still another great release. Having that in hand and looking at these pics, I think I know how it's gonna look. Not a deal breaker though, and yeah, miles better than the DX10. I think that's the blood and extra detailing though.
Yeah, Jor-el looks pretty shiny in some of pics I've seen. I don't know if you happened upon this yet:
A nice direct comparison of sculpts.
