Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

TKS! damn... not sure about this one... but is CR... and the first time Sideshow doing him.. so...
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

Thanks BurningRage! At $429 these PF’s are getting more expensive by the week! WTF! I'm glad this might finally be the end of the line for me. I love this hobbie but the price's just keep going up and up. Still I can't wait to add this and everything I have on flex pay to my collection. But I think after this year it's time to start spending my hard earned cash somewhere else.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

I hope they have this next to the Keaton pf at comic con.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

I think it looks ridiculous! So he's in a flying pose but is not flying, he's sort of on a broken damn flexing and the base makes it look like part of a ship and not a damn... I like the water breaking through and the facial sculpt, but the entire composition is pretty terrible. EX that doesn't fit the scene and a price jump to boot!

I'm going to back away now, I was hoping to have mind changed with the reveal, but that was far from it.

And in some of the new pics it looks a lot better. The hands are a bit small but overall, better.

"Beastly" in Aussie=Awesome/Big...lol

He looks pretty awesome in my oppinion... I was wondering if the back arch would work better when the legs where visible. The neck and head look like the proportions ardor more with the curvature of the back, but the hands do look a bit small. I will say though the Ex is ***.... Totally boring.... And the base for the EX crystal looks like it would go better with the Comic Superman PF then this one... Actually it literally looks like it was patterned off of the comicbook PF base.

Yeah, same here...I really wanted to like this piece and get it to go along with the Keaton, but after the reveal I'm going to pass...It's just not the Reeve I'm looking for. I'm bummed.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

I was never going to buy this but I think it looks great. If I was a fan of movie PF's I would of been all over this, just like the 89 Batman PF. Both look amazing IMO, congrats to all who orders this, looks like your in for a treat :)

Yeah I still don't like it. It's better then the preview but not by much (for me anyways). If it was the only Superman out there by SSC I might have had to settle for it. I just don't dig the pose... It looks like he caused the dam to break and he has turned to see the destruction it will do (EVIL Superman from part III ??) Ex is cool but does not fit in.. Would look nice with my comic version :) I also don't like the overall pose.. It looks OK from one angle in the photo but all the rest loo awkward to me.

I hope that those who like it will love it and that it looks great in person. Just not my cup of tea which is too bad because Reeve is Superman to me.

What if the Reeve head is removable and fits on the Comic Superman !!!! I would get one then :)

I imagine that 24.99 is going to Reeve foundation.

That would be my guess too... And at 30 inches tall this thing is 5 inches taller then the Batman PF and 4.5 inches taller then e comic Supes.... There is a lot for you money IMHO... Except the lame EX
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

That ex sucks balls but I'm
Probably gonna PO this one. I love Reeves.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

I think the head sculpt is pretty good and I like the height of the overall statue. It seems like it will have nice presence when displayed. I'm just not crazy about his actual flying pose and the simplified black base with the dam fragment. It almost looks like a mish mash of pieces that do not flow well together.

I think he looks pretty good from this angle but he should be landing on Grass or something. Like I said he is either ignoring the dam or he has casued it (with his foot :) )

But I don't like the other angles... Face sculpt looks good like I thought it would.. Congrats to those who love it.
 
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

Full reveal looks better than I expected, consider him PO'd.

Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF

I wasn't impressed with the teaser image of this but I was hoping to be blown away by the full reveal but I'm not. The pose is very awkward and looks like he's flying while standing and doing a power pose, the base on top of a base looks a little odd, and the sculpt could be better. The EX sucks too and doesn't go with it. The price is also very steep on this but if the extra $25 is going directly to his and Dana's charity then I would not see a problem with the price hike, but I'm going to pass on this piece regardless. Congrats to everyone who gets this piece and helps out his charity.
