the last pic show it pulled apart ,not looking very promising im afraid ,i hope i just got a bad one because i cant see the fabric holding up to well to handling and posing if they are all like this
 
Bad news indeed Libby. Good thing I treat most HT figures like statues anyway, once they're posed, they pretty much stay that way.
 
heres a update first pic the unstuck side ,second pic the stuck together side ,third pic stuck side with me pulling down trying to separate the stuck bits

That looks bad. Do you live in a very humid place Libby? It looks like it was exposed to some extreme heat.
 
nah ,the north west of England ,trust me its not known for its temperate climate lol ,whether it could have been affected on its travels from hong Kong to the UK ,it was shipped bubble wrapped in a padded envelope ,i dont know ,i hope so as it would suck if supes turns out this way ,im going to push his arms by his side overnight to see if it resticks ,fingers crossed it doesnt

Gonna pose my supes likes he's doing a jumping jack
 
There are tears on the suit for Supes on display at conventions as well. I fear this will be a common issue for this line if they don't sort this out with the fabric they're using.

I bought a spare suit for a custom MOS.

When it arrived, I was pissed as I had the exact same thing on a sleeve. My first thought was that the seller had accidentally cut it will removing it and stitched it before shipping.

Turns out I was wrong and the suit had just "stuck" on itself!

Now for the good news: I gently pulled it until it got apart and it unglued quite easily. First it left a bad looking crease, but after a day or two, it had completely disappeared!

However, I wouldn't leave the guy in action poses too long...:lecture
 
good to know ,i hope it works out on mine ,ive got his arms down by his side and it looks like its starting to stick to its self again already ,ill check it in the morning and report back

thanks for the heads up! looks like the arms on mine will be staying down, I kinda figured this might happen with that type of suit
 
I haven't started it yet!:)

I'm modding the Jor El body at the moment ( bulking the arms and legs especially), but more importantly, I'm waiting for the Modern Life hs to gauge it's size!

are the modern life head sculpts not available yet ,as you haven't got yours in hand yet ,or are you waiting ,like me lol ,to see if anyone offers a hot toys like painted non resin version ,im looking at you enter bay lol
 
Just opened mine up. I am completely baffled as to why the stand is so complicated and have no idea where or how to even secure the figure. Why didn't this just come with a regular stand?

Is it sad that I'm obsessing over the fact that the left seam doesn't line up with the shoulder plate while the right does?
 
This figure looks sensational from every angle, wasn't the jorel scheduled to ship in April closer to ht mos and zod? I guess mine should be comin this month then!
