It's on the way, seeing Michael's review was the straw that broke my back:
Superman Christopher Reeves sixth scale action figure - Another Pop Culture Collectible Review by Michael Crawford, Captain Toy
and I also on Caped Wonder's (a site about Reeve and the Superman films) Facebook with a member posting beautiful picture after beautiful picture of the figure in different poses.
It wasn't an easy decision, I haven't spent that much money even on a Mego but I was able to build up enough money in paypal so it didn't quite seen like I was spending real money (even though I was). I found the best price on Evilbay, briefly checked the feedback and pounced. They had 4 left when I pounced, now they are down to 2 (another sold after mine)
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Got the shipping notification, tracked and insured and it's on it's way
I usually don't go for these premium figures, even though they are frequently fantastic, either they are properties I like but don't love enough to spend that money or I can usually poke holes in the final product that allow me to walk away (Of course if I were rich and had unlimited space I'd get it anyway).
But I love Chris Reeve, the Superman movies and the figure not only has Chris Reeve's face but the body has his build. It just would not leave me alone.
I am glad he is on his way.
And now, there is Keaton Batman, but although I love 1989 Batman, there is not quite the nostalgic fire for it that I have for Superman 78, so even though that figure is practically perfect too, that one I can walk away from easily. Superman will just have to be happy with my Megos and monster models.

I can already hear that other voice calling out from the darkest corners of your mind... Yes... Yes... It's becoming clearer. I think I can make out what it says... "I'm Batman..."
