    Hey MIB....GREAT pics! thanks especially for the posed pics! He does seem much more poseable than his FTC predecessors, which Is what I like to see....improvement!

    His costume looks FANTASTIC! I can't tell if his head looks BIG or if its the angles of the pics. But it looks much better in your loose pics! Is there any way you could pose him with both arms up in a flying pose, all my FTC male figures (sans Pengy & the Teens) can't do that pose. Also a static side by side next to mego Superman (Supermans if you have different production variations) would be so awesome! IF you have the spare time & don't mind that is! Either way thanks for the pics! I look forward to my x2 sets of Superman wave 1 from EE! Hoping Bizarro's head shrinks a bit before then, but Supes looks vibrant & nice to me so I'm excited! Thanks again guys for all your early bird pics & honest reviews! - invisiblelad

      Okay, I took a couple dozen photos today, including comparison shots to both Type 1 and Type 2 figures. I did not do any uncostumed ones, though... I'm a little nervous about removing the costumes from the two originals I used (the T1 was an early boxed version, and the T2 was from an open carded one I have), and the FTC costume has a much smaller opening in the back than the originals, so I didn't want to risk it. Anyway, here are the pics:

                He looks pretty good, as good as Batman. Better than Wonderwoman and Batgirl.

                      There's certainly no way anyone is going to mistake those for an original...

                          Very nice pics Steve! His colors remind me a bit of some of the later Superman Megos I've seen.

                            Superman is SUPER all right! Got him last week! Love the colors! No Mego collection is complete without 8" Superman!

                              Yes ,Superman looks fantastic ,reminds me of the first time i brought home Superman when i was a kid in the 70s.the card art is very good
                              and i like it just fine,although the classic yellow and pictured circles would have been nice,cant wait till Wonderwomen arrives.Good review
                              on this one,FTC is doing a great job.looking forward to getting my Superman series 1 set.
