I think this a wonderful piece of art, representing Superman's amazing abilities, his relationship with Lois, her strength, his vulnerability when it comes to her, and reminds me of the first time lois fly with Superman in the original Superman. BUT...$345? What's with the prices I've seen lately for statues? There's no way I'd pay $345.

I am getting to the point where I am looking at the price before the statues, for $345, I don't even want to look at it.

Looks more like Routhe's physique than the previous statue. Scrawny.

I like the idea of including the DVD with the statue to show how it was made, especially with those "exclusive" on-set interviews.

Why do the pics on this site never enlarge when clicked anymore?

This looks sweet and the dimensions are huge!

It's tempting me and I hate Superman.

look just as weak as the man him self

I don't care much for Routh either but I would be willing to bet my balls he is in much better shape than each of you. The dude looks strong enough, size does not equal strength. I know plenty of dudes smaller than me that are stronger than I am. You guys need to give him a chance, I admit the movie looks like shit and Singer is going to fuck this up like he did X-Men, but I am giving him a chance to play the part.

Maybe Superman can make his back arch like what Lois is posed as in the photo and on the statue, but if a lowly human AS Lois is tried that, she most likely break her back doing a deep backward arch like that :-)

But I know ... suspension of belief is called for here.

Still Supes should be craddling her in his arms, BOT flying her about like that as if he was Peter Pan escorting Wendy through the skies high above London.

Oh yeah! I doubt Lois would have a face filled with glee flying high above Metropolis flying so close to the spire of a skyscrapper. If that was me, I would be pissing my pants in fright!

Oh yeah! I'm with you guys on the prices of these statues. But you know that already doncha ya! ;-)

Okay my bad! Lois doesn't exactly show glee on her face but apprehension and worry, but still if I was her I be frightened!

That's a great statue of Superboy and Lana. Shouldn't they be flying over Smallville High though? "SCRAWNY" is the understatement of all time.
