His costume is so bright Can't wait to get him
The figure neck is barely different from actual promo shots of Cavill in the suit.

I finally had a chance to reassess JL Superman yesterday, and holy moly my head was playing some weird color tricks on me. The cape no longer appears burnt red, but it is definit not the same quality as the BvS cape. Other than that, this is a nice upgrade. The full body sparkle/metallic effect is present in real life in a way that photos really can't capture. And the muscle definition comes through in a really neat way. I really love it when the real thing puts the pictures to shame. Overall, this guy pops off the shelf. And my JL shelf is much happier for it
Or, the JL figure with the MoS sculpt I think would look pretty good.
JL. Currently also winning the auction for the reeves as well. Fingers crossed I don?t get out bid on my max.
Can confirm. That MoS head on JL body looks pretty damn good. With the BvS cape I think it would be the definitive Superman. I agree with jbeltram about the proportions of MoS. Something about his lower body is a bit too, I don't know, spindly. Of course, for BvS/JL, they went the entire other direction. Those thighs thicc. I think the suit quality on MoS isn't quite what it is on the other two.Or, the JL figure with the MoS sculpt I think would look pretty good.
I think they embellished the muscularity on the body a bit too much for the BvS and JL figures, especially the thighs like you said. The proportions of the MoS figure just look a bit more natural to me.
But I agree the suit material for BvS and JL is a bit better than the MoS version.
ive been itching to get this figure and put the MOS head sculpt on itThat's my opinion as well. I have the MoS figure and while tempted to pick up the BvS or JL versions, I didn't feel they were must-haves, especially at their prices. Plus, MoS is my favorite film in the series, by far. I did pick up one of the alternate head sculpts but ended up going back to the original.

For whatever it's worth, here are some shots of a custom head you can find floating around online for around $30. It's really not too bad at all. I was planning on repainting it based on the stock pictures, but now that I have it in hand, it's not as bad as I was expecting. I'm just happy to have a portrait with the correct hair style and better representation of Superman's temperament from Justice League.
Also, I'm sorry for the sideways format. I'm not quite sure how to get them vertical.
