I know, but based on the Sculptor opinion here is what he is thinking about all of the people opinions, he thinks that most of us are just nitpicking, but if I had the chance I would just ask him why does so many people (the ones that are going to buy and pay hundreds for this) coincidentally have the same concerns and opinions about this statue?
Only 2:
- The Pose docent remind me of Chris Reeve!:
The Sculptor says: "i feel its a fantastic representation of a moment in time, that could have taken place as the dam was crumbling around him."
Cool Ok I know that this is an original way to represent a character that we appreciate in all of our lives, but before you do it, you have to investigate and research what has made Chris Reeve so iconic! Probably is not original but the only difference between a statue and a picture is the 3D effects, Having the character you appreciate with the pose that you have burned in your brain all of these years is the right way to go!!

- The face is a little bit off, it looks like Reeve but there's something wrong:
You know I could let go the pose and appreciate it as it is, it is an original way to create something new of something that is already established, but here is the most important thing in the any statue based on a character specially Chris Reeve Superman,
the face. We all know that it is Chris Reeve, because at some point there is some resemblance and of course the colors of the suit and the accuracy are the details that captures this interpretation.
Most of you all in this community knows that Chris Reeve face is very difficult to capture, not many people in the past that have a high profile couldn't achieve this except Arnie Kim 1/4th head that he sculpted years ago, if you look at it closely i could say it is Reeve at 96% the other 4% remaining are my point of view and if you like to call it nitpicking.
What I am trying to say here is that if you are going to change an iconic pose for this you have to be damn sure you capture Reeve likeness whatever means necessary!
So when the sculptor say this: "i hope you can all enjoy it as much as i have in making it. and to all the others, you simply do not have to make the purchase. no harm no foul." it really pisses me off, these are the people who have the tools to bring this to life (Cinemaquette, Hot Toys, Enterbay, Sideshow, etc) and every time they try there's always something wrong. I Just hope that the sculptor and SS read this because we are not trying to beat the old dead horse here, we are just expecting more of these companies and they should deliver since they are in the businesses because of our pockets. What I really fear the most is this:
"Don't worry if he docent look like Chris, is Superman! Great suit, cool pose, they will throw the money at us whatever happens, Chris Reeve man!!"
I guess we all have to wait the next 4 days for the full reveal but I don't expect a lot of change because if they are throwing at us these picture as a tease, there's to much to talk about the marketing department at Sideshow!
