Thanks for the advice guys, but I ended up buying the prime 1 ex supes statue. I could not wait and run the risk of the EX prime version selling out. If the EX heat vision head wasn't a buy or fail piece for me then I would have waited it out but it is a buy or fail piece and there only 500 of them. I do however appreciate any and all feedback received. If the SSC rebirth version, when its fully unveiled and we see pictures of production pieces, wows me and its not $700 I may buy it as well. I just could not pass on that heat vision headsculpt though because as we know the new rebirth statue won't have one. I always wanted to display a supes with heat vision and this one will fit that bill. My next superman purchase will be the prime 1 justice league superman statue. When ssc finally does unveil the new rebirth statue ill wait until its shipping and if qc feedback is good ill buy that one too, no harm no foul. That braniac head isn't a make or break ex, so waiting for that one to ship seems like the most logical option
