    The greatest criminal mind of our time...

    He is hereby serving notice (he's serving notice) that he DOES NOT look like E.G, Marshall!!!




    Got my Matty 12" Lex today, and I like him! I think the likeness is there, the suit is well-tailored for the price, he comes with 4 wigs (!), Kryptonite on a chain, Costa del Lex map...and his box is really cool!

    Now again, I'm going to repeat, these aren't Hot Toys quality figures. But they are nicely done figures, especially for the price. Much nicer than DC Direct's movie figures (except maybe their Ledger Joker, which was well done), and on par with Sideshow's early stuff, for around the same price those went for, even 10 years later.

    Mattel's photographs REALLY do a disservice to these figures. They are so much nicer in person.

    I wish they had went on with these. I'd loved to have had a Non, Ursa and Clark Kent at the very least.

    Here is my apparently complete collection.

    Wow, no love for Lex. I guess I should have skipped the cute thread title!

      Sups looks much better in your photo than he did on Matty's site. Great likeness.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          Have to agree. He looks pretty awesome here.

          I love those Superman glasses too! I've never seen those before.

                  It's kind of weird. Every time I've seen a prototype picture, first Zod, then Superman, and finally Lex, I've been disappointed, but then I get the actual product and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's almost like how some people don't photograph well.

                      I was one of the "complainers" regarding headsculpt...but that doesn't
                      stop me from being impressed and, frankly, GRATEFUL that such a figure
                      was made.

                      I think it's a huge landmark line, the 3 of those alone.

                        I've always thought the Lex figure looked good. Shame that the Supes just doesn't quite do it for me.

                          Oh man I had forgotten how much I want that Supes. That display looks beautiful. I love the glasses too. Lex is not bad either! Thanks for showing him.

                            Looking good Chris! Waiting on mine as well. From the tracking, it would appear I should get him and Sinestro today. He will also join company with my Supes and Zod figures. Makes for a nice display. I like them. I agree with Huedell. Just having these three alone is something of a landmark.

                              You know, it just occurred to me, I have no idea where these glasses originally came from. I was thinking Pizza Hut or something, but I'm probably wrong. I've had the majority of them for years, but didn't have any as a kid. I do believe this is the full set.

                              The artwork looks like Gray Morrow's stuff to me. The likenesses are dead-on. I love them.
