1/6 Hot Toys MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

The mods are quite simple. And that's coming from somebody who had never modded a single figure before this. Just patience and a couple of basic tools and this guy will look like he stepped off the screen. Also, Tony Meis' cape takes it to another level.

Oh I modded my DX12 to hell and also my Leatherface figure and my DX11 but they needed it or I wanted to mod them but to me the Supes MOS figure looks wonderful stock.

I'm not intimidated with the mods I was merely wondering if they were necessary. Thanks.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

I am willing to paint the piping, gauntlets, and neck collar along with the neck mod for anyone who is too afraid to do it. If you are interested send me a pm. Ive had a few people ask me and I agreed to do it so I figured I might as well post it here. I will not be doing the wired cape or dying it darker, as I am not confident enough to do that with someone else's figures.

I actually have it sitting on a shelf next to my TV but I need to make time for it soon.

It's worth making a couple of hours for it.

Okay. Fair enough!

Hey hey! We have a winner.
I installed a large bore magnet on the body and the stand.
No waist clip now!
I also wired the cape.

Bar, good going on the mods. For all who've modded the cape by inserting a wire 1: are most using a particular type of wire, 2: are you inserting the wire from one end of the cape to the other or opening the cape, inserting the wire, and then resewing the cape?

Ordered the regular version but received a Kryptonian Key replica. Is that normal?

Edit: With a little more research it looks like every MoS comes with the Kryptonian Command Key replica to celebrate their 200th release?

I used 1mm solder. I inserted it from one end of the part that attaches to his collar, fed it into the entire cape till i got the length right, then cut the solder.
I folded back maybe 5mm an inch from the tip of each part for his collar, and sewed a few loops around the wire every 50mm or so. You don't need to open the cape at all. Just remove it.

thanks. I can't wait to get my MOS figure and the loose parts I ordered as well. I'm too cowardly to try anything on the complete MOS but will try some of the mods on the body and cape I ordered loose.

I would never have attempted them on my normal one. But then I got my loose suit and it turned out to be easy. Once you have tried it on the suit, you'll be confident to try it on the full figure.

So ironic, If HT had put that wire in the cape themselves, you would all be trying to take it out

Just like 89 Batman, just like the Crow.

That's why HT should include both, to please both crowds.

Nice pic. Just made me realize that Supe's suit isn't red & blue to match the American flag. Apparently it's because he's a Pats fan.

I thought he looked good next to that hat.

Did you do something to the suit to get that shade of blue or is that just from the lighting?

Just a filter i have on my phone. Gives it more of the on screen look.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Mine came today! What a figure. One of the best for sure. A new favorite of mine. I find the less "complicated" figures are my favorite - Avengers Cap and this.
