Re: Christopher Reeve Superman the Movie Premium Format Figure -part 2

I think, given who Chris Reeve was, how many of us grew up with him, and how he died, people are taking this more personally than, say, a Green Lantern piece. There's a lot of emotion surrounding the man, and it's reflected in many posts and opinions here, myself included. This is the very definition of beloved character, which goes beyond mere iconography.

Alright, that's enough alcohol for you...

Who is he?

A guy with a youtube video... So his opinion counts more

Even though I agree with about everything he says he is Just another collector with an opinion.

Wow, he can swear and curse while mom is upstairs cooking dinner. I got to the pose part and switched off as I've read all of the complaints here and at statue forum.
What made me laugh was his moaning about the head sculpt and comparing it with Hot Toys whilst the image displaying the 'superior' sculpt was the old press release pic before the changes were made. I still think it's paint and light, the sculpt looks there and far more like Reeve than the initial Hot Toys sculpt.

Fair enough the Ex is useless. Comic Supes Pf will get that or it will display with the Hot Toys base. The pose isn't great but it's not as bad as it looked in silhouette and the base isn't great.

I think this is almost there which is why I bought it. I wasn't impressed with the preview but it looked better with the full pics. 400 bucks is a lot of money to me but with my six year old son having cancer, Superman has come to actually be a symbol of hope and things like this pop up when we need it most. In my situation I'd rather have a Reeve Superman that almost gets it right than not have one at all. I don't expect others to agree or even understand but I made the choice and it's mine.

If others want to knock it, tear it down or get upset as if Sideshow owes them something then fair play to them. Guys like the one on the video can rant all they like. This will still sell, Sideshow don't need guys like him or his reviews or rants.

This thread has been an amusing read as it went pretty much where I expected it to go. Everyone expecting accuracy from Sideshow should do a little more homework on the company. There are issues with this piece that make the comic Superman PF seem like the ideal one to buy if given a choice.

I agree. Comic supes will be my definitive Superman piece.

I actually like the base (looks classy) and I'm fine with the headsculpt (seeing the banner pic).
It's just the awkward stance that could've been better.

The ex is a must have for me. Always wanted to get a hold of the kryptonian crystal.

I'm guessing the ex for this was a scrapped idea for the comic pf.

The ex would have been better at full scale.

And that is how you should feel about all your collectables!!! Don't let others sway your opinion. Sorry to hear about your son. I hope all is going well.

As we all know I am not a fan and I have no problem expressing that but I have no issue at all with those who like it and order it. I hope he turns out great for your and your son!!

I tried to watch it, but it sounded like 15 year-old ranting without any real reasoning behind it.
