Hi,
I'll probably be buying the figure from Superman #1 but, I told my shop owner that it was conditional. On the link you show - there a big glob of melted plastic that holds him up. Yet on the preview posters, there's only a little stick of metal holding him and a beautiful golden plate at the bottom.
P.S. Gernot, borrow money and buy it! Why? I'm almost 40 - I've seriously bought a lot of brand new Superman items for the last ten years. One of the best examples I can give you is the Bottled City of Kandor. I'd have to go look but I believe there were 5 or 3 thousand made of those. When I'm 55, I plan to resell a lot of my stuff. Many young people today will be starting off again as we did and other did before us. I plan to make a profit - or at least get my money back. I take my stuff out of the packages and know that doing so makes it loses some value but still, lots of things I have are already rare today.
Friend.
