Wow this statue looks great now😀I really loved the sculpt but the factory paint was terrible as you mentioned. I so love the addition of Superman cape with a professional quality paint job, it's so impressive. The base tells a story, totally looks bad ass and honestly makes me consider picking one up, as yours proves a repaint can make this a worthy statue.

Again that paint job is a night and day change - something you'll see on DIY SOS. One little touch I would do, is regarding your superman cape: I'd add wire to the cape so it was a bit more poseable, outside of Darkseid's hand. Finally maybe some dry brushing with black on the areas that the cape has been burnt on, just so it stands out a bit more that it has been burnt. My Mrs said "fuck, did they only base coat it!" when she saw the side by sides (she's a keeper lol).

Really nicely done guys. May be we should start treating SS pieces as gk from now on? Actually, I hold off buying from SS since last year. Yes, I can custom myself, but I am not buying a 1:5 Marvel Legends, expect to custom it because it is "just" 800 usd.

I think its fair to say after 2021 that sideshow is not top 3 or maybe even one of the top 5 statue companies operating in the world! I would easily put prime1, xm Studios, Ironstudios, queenstudios and even tweeterhead in front of them now! I feel the trend will continue sadly with others going ahead of them. As long as they see quality as a secondary factor to mass produced averageness pieces!

@@GeoManRaddTitan Purearts and HMO also better and F4F is catching up. There are a lot new founded and unlicensed companies already better than SS. Sideshow rely too much on the license to keep DC and Marvel fans. And, they seems very comfortable of cheaper and worse than the top companies.
