Hot Toys Justice League Superman

[JorjeCroft]

Yes, it is made by Modern Life but it is repainted by Adam Gu.

thank you, yes I have seen it and it was not as nice, paint is great on this one.

Face looks like he's run into a flat wall though. But perhaps it's just the angle ?

I think it's that horrible stiff neck and the way the head sits on it.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, it's the tree trunk neck.


That's one of the best sculpts I've seen. That's crazy.

 

[a-dev]

Hot Toys really needs to pay more attention to the necks on their bodies and how headsculpts work with them. That right there would be perfect if not for the bizarre stiff look.

 

[DarthBakura]

A lot of the heads used to be adjustable though, if you could pop out the socket and reposition it after applying glue.

 

[a-dev]

I don't think it works for these Hot Toys muscle bodies. Phicen, yes. The necks have give in them, they actually move with the head. But Hot Toys necks are rigid, they stay in the same position no matter what you do. And as a result that Cavill Supes looks like he's craning his neck and pulling in his chin.

 

[DarthBakura]

Poor design then. I haven’t had a chance to mess with a male Hot Toys in a while, except the Letoker.

I am surprised that BBTS doesn't have it for Pre-order yet.

Excellent looking sculpt indeed. The stiff neck does make it look a bit off though.

I know, I was just trying to be optimistic with the 5% chance hoping the sheer amount of complaints over the hairstyle and expression would render the good folks at HT to do the right thing. Don’t crush my dreams!

Who am I kidding I’m getting this anyway. I missed the BVS version.

They probably figured this would be their third straight Superman figure that they would have had to fabricate an entirely new sculpt for. They have to merely repaint one somewhere in there.

Don't worry it's just Silverstars "besserwisser" writing style. I've given up taking offence.

Who's worried?

Should on Monday- came up Friday and BBTS doesn't usually update POs on weekends

 

[SilverStar17]

At least the constant changing of Superman's hairstyle in the DCEU films for the most part puts the pressure on HT to have to fashion a new sculpt for each figure; or else you'll look like your merely cutting corners.

Such as with this figure.

 

[Magnusstewardson]

I was originally thinking it’s a case of cutting corners. There is a chance the reference material they were given in regards to this Supes was pre-reshoots. When Snyder was in charge still, before Whedon lightened the tone. So they focused on making the heat vision sculpt.

This promo photo for JL Superman was relatively early if I recall:

I was hoping they would use that as their template when fashioning the sculpt for this figure, the same way I believe they used this early one of BvS as their template for the BvS sculpt:

The colors on the suit are so perfect

I really wish the sculpt on JL supes was angry looking.
It’s not really accurate to him in the movie.

I’d love a sculpt with a smile or a smirk.
Or even just a relaxed face.

Got my finger by the process checkout button. I’m so tempted.

I’ll do it if you do it first, lol....I’m so tempted to and don’t have a Supes yet.

It would be a no brainer for me if I didn’t have MOS and BVS superman. Although this has what I always wanted; the heat vision sculpt. If it lasts till I get my next rewards when I get my next couple figures I will.

Do it! Lol
