        I feel like I just passed my Geek101 midterm.

        I'm not sure if I should be proud or not that I knew it was an Infinite Heroes Superman, and old version of Darkseid and the collect and connect Kalibak. I'm 41 years old, I wear a name tag at work, I can't change my own oil in my car, but I can spot goof-ups in an action figure ad. GOd I'm depressed.

        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

            I also just noticed what a lovely hour-glass figure General Zod has
            It's all good!

              On a high note... nice photoshop skills. Okay maybe not but... ya know this really is sad. Mattel really needs to cross their T's and dot their I's better. The snoop in me wonders what's going on with the company to make them appear to be so non-professional / sloppy?

                or as we used to say in the radio biz when you would hear someone goof really bad... "Get your tapes and resume's together fella's, those folks are hiring right now."

                      As a graphic designer, I find it deplorable that SOMEONE didn't catch this before it made it out.

                        It's pretty bad. But, despite all of this, I still kind of want one.

                          I won't be buying them regardless of the pics, but, I do have an issue with the lack of quality control. The photos should be accurate or omitted altogether. The comments in the blog sum it up. Perhaps though, they (Mattel) know that 1. The people who want them will buy them anyway, no matter what picture they put up. and 2. People will find something wrong with them no matter what picture they put up or what price they sell them for. Too expensive and the line is a rip off; too cheap and the line is being discontinued. I think I put this in the wrong thread.

                            Despite the crappy ad (and the negative comments here) I managed to make it through and order a 12" Superman.

                            Now if I get an Infinite Heroes figure, I'm gonna be sore...
