1/6 Christopher Reeve Man of Steel Sculpt

[JohnnyStarquest]

Rebelpig's custom has me sold on this sculpt.

 

[samueljd]

Nice custom. The sculpt looks really good on a Hot Toys body.

I need some opinions on which of these 4 body's I should use for my Reeve custom that best resembles Reeve's built.I'm leaning towards body#1. the second one is an HT Ezio body,,the third one(Royce body),forthe is PERSEUS BODY .

 

[abake]

If you've no plans for the Perseus body, I'll gladly take it off your hands...

ROYCE!!!!

Deffo Royce & Ill tell ya why. Its the shoulders. Other truetypes have a 'gap' between the arms and torso. The suit does not sit well infact it shows the joint badly.I tried a variety of bodies before using the Royce. In my humble opinion its the one to go with.

thanks rebel,that was my first choice even before I saw yours,after seeing yours I actually went and purchased the body,that's what I'll likely use since it's already on the way,reason I started leaning towards the first body(soldier story)is when I saw this youtube video by autobotjohn reviewing Moe's superman which I'm almost certain is using a soldier story body from I can see it looks the same as what I have pictured especially the neck area but then again it's a different suit from mattel's,I did order a suit from Moe and will be using it on the Royce body,I just hope it fits as well as the mattel suit on the Royce,yours fits great.Here is the link in case you haven't seen the video,it looks pretty neat.

Here's my Erick Sosa sculpt on a Hot Toys TT Advanced with the Mattel suit. My bro painted him up. The color was originally going to match the neck, but ultimately the skin tone that came out was a better match to Reeve. There doesn't appear to be as much contrast in person. The flash just reveals it more. Anyway, enjoy...

Repainted neck:

hey check out these pics of a Eric Sosa Reeve sculpt,is it me or does this one look different from the one we purchased?The one offered in this thread has a more angry look and the hair definitely looks different and this one has the more traditional Reeve smirk am I right?Judge for yourself,the first pis is the one we purchased so you can compare,personally I like this better and wish it was offered also I got the photos from a friend of mine Alex Rojas who is friends with Sosa,I showed him mine and he sent me these pics,he says Sosa made 3-4 different sculpts.

those look like different sculpts to me, perhaps he made a few versions, and the one he is still working on right now is the gray one?

Hi Sunohc,
Actually it is the same head sculpt only the images are old.
This version that Fenix made available is version 2.0 but I am currently finessing the head, and will A) make a generic face one, B) make the classic smiling smirk expression, C) Angry "I am flying at the speed of light" version.
I may or may not make those available it all depends on fenix's schedule, and mine

 

[ZKULPTOR]

By the way you guys are awesome! made my day looking at what you guys can do with these resin heads !Mr. Fusion you avatar is my next subject, that and Doc

 

[Tekkaman Blade]
