The figure on the left is a Superman movie inspired MOC that I pieced together over the past couple weeks using only official Lego parts. The figure on the right is a knockoff that I have had for a few years now but with replacement Lego brand head, hairpiece, and lantern.

Any thoughts on what you might do differently or alternate pieces to use?

Still sealed, $60. This wasn't a set that was necessary on my radar but I couldn't pass it up in this all but brand new condition. There was, however, a surprising shortage of DC/Batman Lego represented today. Maybe the DC stuff really *is* becoming more scarce than I realized. I am trying to finish up some of my Want List stuff while the getting is still good.

I don't mean bootleg figures or customs. I am talking about these 3rd party figures that you might find on AliExpress or sites like that. I have gotten a few cool characters (or alt costumes) that are pretty much unavailable anywhere else. But when these things are gone, they are really GONE for good! I wonder why an aftermarket doesn't really exist for these things? Any thoughts?
