One coloring mistake that I seemed not to be able to fix, no matter how hard I tried, and I am to be haunted by those white "eyes" forever!Those even seem to be ROUND!!!

I will say that the face sculpt on that Superman seems at least to be inspired by JB's version.

Got my Adam West figure last week. Now, for the epic confrontation. Please forgive the amateur-hour level of photoshop:

I'm slightly amused to note that "Joker" figure treats his skin coloration as it is on the classic character -- bleached white all over, and not just makeup on the face.

Yes, the faces, the size of the "S" on his chest and the exposed neck in the back all seem references to JB's Superman. I couldn't see it in the little thumbnail, but in the enlarged version, shots of the isolated head particularly look very much like some of JB's work.
The doll/sculpt as a whole, unfortunately, doesn't follow through.

Really, not comic book related but a neat "toy", I believe from the 40's. It looks like it could have been ordered out of a comic book or pulp. I thought it was really neat with the box and the instructions all for a whopping $12.00. I am a sucker for this kind of stuff.
