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

[SilverStar17]

If you want them to look good, the trade off is often articulation. I prefer that they look as perfect as possible as I never pose my figures in anything other than museum poses. I find that as soon as you start giving them dynamic poses, they can look more like toys.

I don't think they are marketed as 'action figures' - more 'high-end collectables'.

I'm with you there. For me personally, I prefer accuracy over articulation. Having them articulate well of course is preferred, but if having an arm, leg, ab crunch, etc. move an inch more meant sacrificing accuracy, I'm on the side of accuracy. The Ant-Man figure, for instance. Has to be up there on the list of one of the figures with the worst articulation, but man is the figure gorgeous.

Glad you wrote that, cause I had been thinking about getting the Ant-Man. Now I wont. The Reeves Superman is VERY articulated, and he is still my personal favorite in looks, head sculpt and overall figure.

Maybe I was too quick to judge BvS Superman. Maybe the reviewer just didn't push him. I'm still looking forward to it. But I wont pre-order Bats until I have seen the articulation. WW will be tough. If they change the HS, make it better, I will get her, if not, I wont. 17 points of articulation and that HS = no

 

[jespernicolaj]

Yeah. Plus the old MoS figure was pretty articulated. I can't imagine this being a backwards step.

Okay, you calmed me down

Just, articulation and HS are the two most important factors to me when buying these. I just saw the review and thought: "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

This figure turned out great. I have the MoS figure and love that one, but I'll get this one as well, I'm a big Superman fan.

Do you have the Reeves?

True, but can we agree on the fact that they are "high-end collectable action figures"?

 

[Sidewinder]

Do you have the Reeves?

Yes I do, it was actually my first 1/6 figure purchase Wonderful figure too.

 

[jespernicolaj]

Do you have the Evil one? I don't. Thought it looked too much like the standard, don't have the MOS either, but I think this is a piece of art

Crap... this figure turned out way too awesome, which means my 2-Pack Waitlist on Sideshow is now less likely to convert.

Honestly, thank you for posting this. I had no idea they were on the waitlist, so, I jumped on today, this is one situation where I'm hoping the negative reception to the movie carries over. The less people interested in buying these, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

I have the Reeve Supes also, but do not have the SIII 5 o'clock shadow version.

It's not like it really matters all that much, but I still can't believe how bad that box is.

The box is plain, but honestly I couldn't care less about the box. It stays in the brown shipper and gets stores in a tub.

I don't know why but it reminds me somehow X-men MOS box is so beautiful.

 

[slobodaneee]

yeah i think painted it is far too kind away to describe what i did ,daubed it is properly nearer the mark lol
this is the stuff i used ,just cheapo acrylic paint my daughter laura "acquired" from school some years ago lol

I like it. the black piece of plastic that the cape is inserted into (I don't know what its called) looks longer than the standard that comes with the stock figure. What is it? Also does the paint chip if you pose the figure?

Yeah I like the design of the MoS box. It's a really nice one.
