Yeah, and I wish they wouldn't. I'm not typically a high-end collector, but I might have been convinced to snag definitive versions of my favorite DC characters. Sadly, these are not that. The tweaks seem arbitrary and make these skippable for me. And that's a real shame, considering how much I like what Mezco is doing in general. Here, I dig the head sculpt on Superman, love the magnet feature, but the shield and belt design remind me too much of the terrible Superman Returns movie. At this price point, I want iconic.

Hopefully they continue the line with alternate versions that are more faithful to the source material, like Neal Adams Batman in the classic blue and gray with capsule belt.
