I hate to be the first person to criticise this figure, but... I got mine today and I've attached three photos below that I took quickly, not to show off the figure but to highlight a problem. The light was natural but it's a pretty cloudy day, I'll take some more when it's sunny.
The first problem is that the shield isn't straight - it's not massively wonky but enough for me to notice it and be annoyed by it. This isn't a big deal, it's just tough - a hazard of collecting is that these things happen, like you'll get a badly painted eyebrow or whatever.
The second problem is really glaring to me; the skin tone on this figure's face, neck and hands is way too dark, it's not caucasian AT ALL. The only way the skin tone resembles caucasian is in someone who has spent half their life in the middle east or something. I know Reeve wore some dark make up to give definition to his youthfully slightly chubby features but this is ridiculous. It's very hard to capture this in a photo - the only one that comes close is the third one below and even that isn't as dark as the actual figure. This really spoils the figure for me - Reeve just wasn't asian and this superman is. It could almost be a 'bad superman' custom.
Apart from that everything is fantastic - sculpt, paintjob (skin tone aside), stands, box etc - all are the highest of high end. The outfit too, although it feels slightly flimsier than either of the Returns outfits - I think you really need to handle it with care.
I'll take some pics when it's sunny and I'll be interested to see what other people say (maybe I've got a duff figure and most of them are better) but to me this feels disappointing because I know I'm going to have to get it repainted for it to look like Reeve and that shouldn't happen.
