I like it. But I have to say the first thing I thought  of when I saw it was.."Thank you ladies and gentlemen of the Academy"

Nice piece, but the Eaglemoss Jocasta figure pretty much fulfills my needs as far as having that character represented in my collection.

It would be nice if Bowen or Eaglemoss got around to sculpting Platinum from the Metal Men.

Well, I thought there would be a chance to pick one of the Dorothy R. Wayneright Figmas without having to pay for shipping, but with some of these limited production runs selling out as soon as they're released, I ended up pre-ordering her anyway.

And Max Factory is also releasing a Figma version of Robocop too!

I'm not a fan of cute when it comes to anime stuff, but when you combine both cute and potentially destructive into the same small mecha package...

Put in an order for the Bandai Chogokin (partially die-cast) version of the insect exterminating HoiHoi-San as well.  Both she and Dorothy will make a odd shelf couple (at least until the Roger Smith Figma is released)

Looks a little cross-eyed, but a good likeness of Christopher Reeve otherwise.

Not bad within the limitations of the "doll" form, but I prefer this one, that came out a few years back:

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the final product of Superman has an improved headsculpt.  The Tony Stark sculpt from the last Iron Man figure was greatly improved from initial publicity photo to final product.  These aren't scheduled ship till the end of the year.  My guess based on a similar shipping promise with the Mark IV, is that it will actually ship First Quarter 2012.

I noticed the slight cross-eyed thing too but wonder if this doll has the moveable eyes that some of these high dollar toys sometimes offer?

It's pretty amazing what they're doing with the "skin" on these things.
