1/6 Hot Toys BvS: Dawn of Justice - Superman

I'm going to adjust it again tomorrow see if I can straighten it out. The tiny glue spot isn't bad and you can't see it without pushing the cape out of the way. I snipped off the strand coming off the cape too. It's on top his left shoulder in his pic.

I must have lucked out concerning the sleeves on mine. They completely cover the wrist joint even if I bend the elbow.

That's how mine are on the one that I have the OSK heat vision sculpt on.



However, on my other one, the wrist pegs show a bit. Though as I mentioned, the top of the relaxed hands have sort of a curved cut so it makes the pegs exposed a bit more, whereas the fists are cut straight across at the top. The pegs on the first one also show a bit when I put the relaxed hands on it.

As this fabric uses less rubber that MOS, its really hard to stretch it and stay in place. it always goes back. I have not used hair dryer yet

My sleeves were sitting a little high also, I raised the arm and worked the sleeve down from the top

Best I can do. Still a major improvement over all. He was riding up at the shoulders just by the cape and I smoothed it down side by side. I can't get the sleeves to really meet his hands though. Oh well. I think that because the cape is sewn into the costume that's what could be causing some of our figures to have the sleeves end high. That or they didn't tailor every suit perfectly.

The stitching on the left side of his chest worries me a bit because it's not as tight as the other side. I'm a relaxed pose kind of guy so I won't put any stress on the costume with dynamic poses. Still a far better figure than my MOS Superman overall.

That looks fine to me. If I recall, even the figure that was used for a lot of promo shots when it was first released in HK had the wrist joints exposed slightly.

Yeah it'll do. Actually I got them down even a smidge lower. I just don't want the seams on the left of his chest to seperate. Their not as tight as the other side.

They look so good together, can't wait to get my hands on the bat.

do you have a direct link to sideshowtoys listing for Superman? I had talked myself into buying him with a coupon two nights ago only to find him unsearchable at their site. I assumed he was now sold out but waitlist is pretty close. Almost seems like the last vestiges of people who really were dying to get him waited until they saw the final finished Batman and probably decided to buy both at once.

He's wait listed at SSC and sold out at BBTS. He actually wait listed at SSC before regular Batman released. Perhaps it was Armored Batman that helped encourage people to get Supes also?

I have a weird question (and I think I know the answer) to ask of someone who has both the MOS and this version of Superman. I was wondering if the BvS base will work with the MOS figure and the stand piece that makes him look like he can fly. Thanks!

Yeah it's a standard C-Clamp that's used. Won't be a problem at all. Be mindful however that it will leave a mark on the suit.

Has anyone bought one of the recast sculpts of this figure on ebay ...and if so how does it look on the MOS body.

Guys yesterday I cried to give my figure some poses , I kept him in a museum pose, but then legs can't move to this direction. I pushed but they are just frozen, I didn't try to push harder cz I was scared to broke it. so... what sorcery is this

 

[SilverStar17]

The joints at the thighs on one of my BvS Supes figures are like this also, the left leg in particular. When moving it outward, it sort of stops at a certain point and you have to force it to seemingly unwedge the joint and sort of free it. It feels like it's going to break off when trying to do so, but it'll move.

I won't directly say to put some more force into it because I don't want to you to break your figure, but I will say it does take a bit of force to get the left leg to move outward on one of mine.

Thank you. better I will leave it, as I'm not going to display it in a dynamic pose because of costume. Also left hand joint is more lazy than right. Still happy I own this piece of art.

Yeah, you're never going to get a perfect figure, there's always going to be something. I consider both of mine near perfect, so that's good enough for me. If you try and get a replacement, there's no guarantees that the replacement won't suffer from the same problem, or potentially have something that bothers you even more than the first one did.

Obviously broken joints, discernible scratches, unsightly errant paint stains or fabric tears I can understand. But a slightly loose or too tight joint, a small glue spot in the back that nobody will see, a very small imperfection in the paint? If everything else on the figure is otherwise ship shape and good, sometimes you just have to weigh the pros and cons.

I got a Knightmare base yesterday. The ploe works with the Superman base.

 

[ehinsdale]

Pole is what I meant to say. lol

 

[jedijim3002]

It's probably the silver paint they used on the body to get that shiny look through the suit. The body is actually black and painted over with silver. The joint is probably just glued shut with the silver paint.

Exactly. There is always going to be something. For instance my figure with the little tiny speck of glue on his backside, and the little smidge of paint in the corner of the S shield on his chest. Not noticeable enough to be bad.
