Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure
Exactly! And if two of us feel that way then I'm pretty sure there others here who are just as troubled. Wonder if Alfred and Bruce for the Batman Dio get the same treatment, if so, most of our Batmen and other figures from the Nolanverse would be out of scale somewhat.
Well, i wouldn't panic just yet.
there are a few really good reasons why Alfred and Bruce will be *The old 1/6* scale.
First, they are re-using the DX12 body for the Batman suit, and second, they are using the DX12 Bruce head.
It has better paint apps but still has lips like the Twilight Zone gremlin.
Finally, Alfred wouldn't be made in a new scale while Bruce and Batman were in the old scale.
Oh, right. Not sure if I have asked this before but how come you get your figures earlier than most?
I don't actually have the figure yet, although i do have four on order from Sideshow.
But i do have an ongoing relationship with a parts seller in HK(With whom i have spent maybe $3000 buying misc parts over the last three years), and so when a figure comes out, i generally get really great deals on parts.
When it hit the shelves, i sent a message and got a couple of headsculpts sent to me for a great price.
I expect i *could* get a good deal on a full figure, but i'd like to save that for something *really* special, as i know their main deal is parting a figure to make the maximum amount from all the parts.
The pic i posted with it on a body was a hybrid suit i posted a few months back. It's a DC Direct Superman Returns suit with the striping added by me, and the body is a HT Reeve(But i am thinking of swapping it out for a DX10 body as the Reeve is too small).
