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

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.

Very sound logic

I just think the figure would look better if the robe was the correct color that’s all I’m saying. But I’ve learned that 1/6 collectors aren’t as concerned with accuracy as other collectors.

So…one more comparison picture just to show that there are two robes that are different, even if we can’t agree on the color. Last time I’ll bring it up.

My bet is neither of those pics show how the robe really works

This must be the first Hot Toys thread you've ever visited

Those do seem to be very different robes.

You're talking about two seperate robes though. The blue robe is worn when he's in his "ghost" mode on the ship. That's the blue one but the figure we're getting is the brown suit with the armor over it.

It's two different attire all together, this figure is simply a representation of when he was alive, which is the brown one.

There can be an explanation for this though you would have to buy into it without being told. The brown outfit version is the actual Jor-El, where the blue suited version is not Jor-El, but the holographic projection of him from the ships after the El key was placed into the key port.

Okay last, last time...

Yea, I know that… but the holographic Jor-El is wearing the blue robe from the council room scene without the shoulder armor and red cape. Although I will say it looks much bluer in the hologram scenes than it did in the council chambers. That kind of color difference do to lighting etc. I can see.

At least we’re making progress before there was “only one robe and it was always brown.”

This is the tunic that appears blue in the same pic you posted.

Looks more brown or blue to you?

 

[karamazov80]

Could there be a worse shot of something for the purpose of trying to identify its color?

They made the figure based off this suit...whats the problem?

 

[DCTheDarkKnight]

I think it looks pretty darn good

 

[morphosis]

yep and for those that are complaining about price, Jor-El's suit is far more intricate, layered and detailed than Superman's suit and he has a weapon. That robe looks to have some incredible tailoring. $20 extra is fine with me.

 

[Khev]

Yeah it's pretty badass.

 

[pauholmes]

I love it! but I won't buy it

You can even tell how the actual figure's costume changes color a bit under the display lighting to be a bit more blueish grey

Yup, that photo from One Sixth Republic FB page i have to say this is one of the few times seeing someone with the figure in a crappy photo and it still looks like a mini life-like person. Really think he looks amazing and very much looks like RCrowe to me! This will be a great figure!!!

Seeing that picture, I can not believe how pumped I am for a Jor-El figure. Don't think I'd pose him with the gun though, might try to make my own codex skull for him to hold instead. Base is still a little larger than I would have liked, but whatcha going to do.

New pics of Jor from the One Sixth Republic FB page

Looks great to me!

Good indeed! I am glad I have this on PO. These two (and Zod, when he appears...would be foolish and remiss of HT if he didn't) are for my wife really. She really loves Superman as a character and Reeve is still her definitive version, but she loved MOS.

I too like the intricacies of the costumes and I thought that Russell Crowe was one of the best elements of the film.
