Too bad they had him renounce his citizenship showing massive disrespect to the USA. So now no one wants to buy this piece. Maybe some Frenchmen will like this on their shelf?

@Mugwamp you didn't read the comic did you?

@Mugwamp
So you've taken an element of a story about selflessness and turned it into a selfish,racist comment.Welldone.Tool.
Besides,if you do your research,the 'American way' part didn't come in until after WWII.So it was really a return to his original values,not a change.

Holy crap, $209.99 USD is a little steep, but with the amount of work they put into this, I am sure some people will think it's worth it.

On the other hand, if these toy makers can get a finely detailed costume on THAT Superman figure, you'd have thought that the Smallville crew could have afforded a frigging full costume in the end at the very least. Thank god it was already over as the ending did not disappoint - I knew I was gonna get gypped.

The Quintessential Kal-el/Clark Kent/Superman! Christopher Reeve was the greatest live action Superman to date, I was watching Superman the Movie & Superman II, another of DC's best films not to long ago, man those films are awesome, they still hold up, I look 4ward to The Man of Steel 2012, God bless Mr. & Mrs. Christopher & Dana Reeve :)

I like how everybody's respecting Chris Reeve. He certainly was one of the classics.
