It's really bronze!

This is my bronze statue of Superman "Superman - More Powerful Than Ever" that I picked up at the Minneapolis con in May of this year. The sculptor is James Shoop. I remember seeing it in the Warner Bros. store at the Mall of America around the mid 1990s. I thought it was awesome when I saw it, but it was too expensive for me to own. Well, the Warner Bros. store closed down and I didn't see it again. It turned out a friend of mine bought the statue (his wife worked there and won a lottery to be able to buy it at a discount). He then sold it to another friend of mine. He kept the statue for the next 20 years! Anyway, I met him again at the Minneapolis con and asked him if he still had the statue. To make a long story short, I was able to finally acquire the statue after all these years. I plan to admire it for many more. Thanks for reading.
