I took the band off mine as soon as I got it. It was stuck on with two little bits of sellotape that peeled off easily enough. A lot of HT boxes have nice artwork but this is the only that works well as a standalone display piece imo.

Two of the greatest figs HT made in that era, and are both timeless grails. They look great together too.
^Indeed.
Love the pose on Superman there. It looks like he has just landed and has slowed from a run to a brisk walk.

Nice to see some new pictures of this. Still one of my favorite figures in my collection.
I’ve been trying to find a way to consolidate him with my BW Ghostbusters, BR Keaton Batman, OT Star Wars, QMx OS Star Trek and BttF Marty McFly to have them all in the same vicinity. All the stuff I grew up watching, essentially.

Thanks. I always try for that implied movement.
Well, yes. A few things actually but I don't want to alarm because they may not be all that common.
-The outfit is easily snagged and torn
-In the beginning I remember some people getting crooked or off-centre S shields
-S Shield peeling off
-neck plug breakage
I think that's it...

Er... thanks. Wish I hadn't asked! Eh, it's only money.
I've bought it new from Timcent so if there's any problems I'm sure I'll be covered.

These are all I can think of as well.
No need to fret. Out of those issues enumerated, the most pervasive one I'd say is the peeling S glyph. And even then, I've only heard of a few cases of that on here.
I've only heard of I think two cases of the neck plug breakage and if you don't plan on scratching your figure's outfit with your fingernails, then there's no need to worry about the easy snagging issue either.
You got a good figure with this. It still remains one of my favorite figures in my collection.
It's definitely a great figure, one of the few I'd never sell under any circumstances. Mine does have an issue with the neck and turned up that way. It just doesn't attach properly. Most of the time it's fine and you can't tell until you tilt it too much and his head falls off. 
Doesn't seem a common problem though so I'm sure yours will be fine.
I hope do a version in 1/4 scale some day.

I recommend using cloth ot latex gloves to pose/handle this. No snags that way. 
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Yeah, this would be the perfect year to announce it, seeing as its the 40th anniversary; however I haven't seen anything about the anniversary being celebrated. I was at least hoping for a book.

HT has so much on their plate, they probably don't even realize that.
I'm not sure many people do! They should rerelease the Brando Jor-El with a black gown.
Yes please and a Terrence Stamp Zod while they are at it.
