I think a lot of the doubt surrounding this particular piece is due to people hoping the last chase would be something much better (like Red Son).

As it stands this fig is pretty disappointing.

I'm guessing the steal energy represents him absorbing the kryptonite blast from Cyborg Superman which was altered by the Eradicator to restore Superman to his full power.

Still doesn't make much sense though.

Not as disappointing of a figure as I am disappointed its -not- Red Son. I was hoping for Red Son a lot but honestly the figure is a cool idea, and I really like the fact that when it comes back to life you got the chance of bringing it back to full power. Such is life though.

for those wanting to know his steal energy power is called:Absorbing residual matrix energy

No pics? Cellphone, Ipod, anything with a mediocre camera? I am dying to see the sculpt... Since it's unlikely I'd pull it since I only care about him and SOD Superman and will end up pulling Earth 1 Superman.

A page back - not a very large pic but gives you an idea.

@T-Rez: I realize some of its' disappointment but it's just a pervasive attitude all across the Realms. Check out the Hulk Poster thread where, being the guy only had -some- of the poster, someone said that still qualified as "trolling" (i.e. - because he got people excited but only had about half the set's names ).

It appears that even my peeping-tom binoculars are no match for the size of that pic... I suppose I will have to wait.

Hey now, I've always maintained the stance that if superpowers were real, I'd most likely be a super-villian as oppossed to a super-hero!

I'm fairly certain that 90% of people would as well...

Then just go to his ALBUM and look at the none Thumb sized pic

Uh... I knew that. I was um, just, um, TESTING YOU GUYS. Congrats, you passed...

Disappointed the "Black Suit" Superman doesn't have the Metropolis keyword.

Most any first reveals are usually greeted with "no pics or it didn't happen". I don't think I actually saw that said at all this time. In fact, I think srtfreak was treated very respectfully, and everyone seemed happy to see the dial. Myself, I said that the dial looked unique but reasonable, didn't think it a fraud, and asked for pictures please. But i still took it with a grain of salt. I don't know srtfreak, so didn't know that it was real, but didn't accuse. Perhaps there are other people on Realms who DO know him, so I thought the acceptance might be based on that.

That said, your reply above is very well said and inspiring, but we all know there are lot of people out there who get great pleasure from fooling as many people as possible. It didn't cost us anything to believe what we were told, and I enjoyed it as much as anyone. Hostile suspision and sarcasm are usually not warranted, especially when the poster seems as straightforward and reasonable as srtfreak. But a little skepticism only seems reasonable. I don't mean attacks, but reasonable skepticism.
