Hot Toys-MMS 201-Man of Steel-Jor-El-1/6th Scale Collectible figure

[Spenser]

I’m not saying the same sewing pattern was used for both. One is blue grey with a red cape and one is completely brown. I don’t care what kind of lighting you use, two different colors aren’t going to change into one cohesive solid color.

Remember he takes off and ditches the blue robe before diving under the water. Then when he gets to the launch room he’s put on another, the brown one. Maybe like a lab coat or something.

Take into consideration my previous post about color grading in post production. Also, movie cameras capture lighting on a different (and limited) spectrum than human eyes and they tend to show different colors than what we see in real life.

But I'm not saying you're wrong, it's plausible that they use different colored garments for specific scenes. But in all my experience dealing with film and video, I personally see them as the same.

New pics of Jor from the One Sixth Republic FB page

Lookin' good. If only someone here knew the bloke in that pic.. We could probably ask him to take off the armour bit.

If it helps then it says as the picture caption ''Photo Shared By Ray Chan on HKFM''

Actually, they may do just that. I've seen it for my studies in a practical example, light does ALOT.

Yeah, someone should get in touch with him.

I don't get the reference. Please explain?!

He mentioned Hoth Han Solo.

I paraphrased the lightsaber / Tauntaun guts scene.

That bit's fine. It's the very mention of Hoth Han Solo that puzzled me. And your comment seemed to suggest that you knew what he meant.

whats the 'Han Solo Issue' ?

 

[karamazov80]

His coat appeared blue on film most of the time, but the actual coat was apparently brown. Figures were released in both colors. Same with the Ghostbusters flight suits, which often looked gray but were actually, initially tan.

lol I thought you were talking about his hair or something

Actually, the yellow 'S' background on Man of Steel seems to have the same issue. Something having to do with how it reflects light ... but the same S background looks yellow in some pictures, muted grey in some, and jet black in some.

From an interview with the costume designer ...

Q: In many promotional photos of Henry Cavill in the Superman costume (as seen on magazine covers and the like), the yellow in the "S" Shield on his chest is very muted or even black, can you explain to fans why that was the case?

A: There was a lot of experimentation with the colors of the suit Ð they read very differently under different lighting Ð outdoors vs. indoors, fluorescent vs. incandescent, day vs. night etc. For some reason the gold changed the most - perhaps because there was so much metallic pigment in the gold that it really reflected the colors and lighting around it.

Looking great so far. Still on the fence about getting him though.

 

[yongkykun]

You should get his son. Cheaper and comes with 1/1 scale command key.

 

[jedijim3002]

Already have that one on pre-order. But still on the fence about this one.

To me, this is the best evidence so far that we should be careful in thinking we know very much about what color something is "supposed" to be in this movie. It went from yellow to grayish blue! But we can say that a figure has clothing that more or less resembles the way a given outfit looked in a given scene.

Exactly.
In loads of the behind the scenes stuff, the Superman suit itself was lighter, with lighter reds in the symbol and cape. But in post production, colour timing was likely altered for a different look.
It happens.
But i t means people can't say "His costume is the wrong colour!", simply because the people who make the replicas might have had the original costume to base it from.
