Hot Toys new Superman teaser... he's coming guys!

[qbomb71]

seriously guys, the more I watch pics and compare them, the less I like the sculpt. I insist HT made a bad decision hiring Kim. Im out.

Bye

 

[Nintenjoe]

I actually like the serious expression. The Comedian looks goofy with his grin surrounded by all the other superhero figures. Supes would've looked no different.

perhaps something more like this for the face sculpt...

 

[Crimsonbob]

I prefer the stern look.

 

[Spartan Rex]

UGH.

Superman is not real world. I can't stand when people try to give there idea of what he would look like if he was real. He is a Comic Book these movies are based off Comic Books. FAKE..

I want my Superman to jump out of the comic book not out of someone mind. So help me god if they take liberties like they did with the Superman Returns suit in the new film ill loose my damn mind.

Well, I want my super heroes to look the best they can for the media that they are in. Garrish colored spandex outfits work in print media but not nearly as well on film.
I'm glad Hugh Jackman hasnt worn the yellow and blue outfit with the kabuki mask on screen and Im glad Cap doesnt have protruding wings coming from his temples.
What works in 4 color print (even 6 color) wont pass the smell test on digital film.

If i were to have a Superman with an expression it would be the smile he gives at the end of every movie!

We are looking at the best Superman collectable aren't we?!

 

[FlyAndFight]

My guess from the start was $189. I Hope its around there.

I was thinking this would run about the same price as Thor and Odin, $179-ish.

My guess is somewhere inbetween: $185 pre-order price.

If that base lights up, it will be even more amazing.

As for the "serious" headsculpt, I think it looks fine. I would love to see it paired up with a second sculpt showing a confident smile as well:

 

[karamazov80]

Blah. I guess I'll stomach the price tag for this release.

Which is exactly what they thought I would say. I hate feeling taken advantage of.

Hot Toys know what they're doing re: their target audience (us). God bless 'em.

 

[JRL]

Guess will have to wait to see official pics but is this to much to ask to the people of HT?

 

[Spartan Rex]

No problem with the stern expression but HT should realize some of the figures that theyre doing have at least and would be better served by 2 expressions/looks.
Especially if the odds are they wont revisit the character.
Thor
Superman
Jack Sparrow
Leonidas
Joker

Nope. Don't want a smartass Superman either. If your heart flutters when Reeve grins, good for you. But I'd prefer a more stern Superman to match the rest of my collectibles.

I disagree with you 100%. I want to see what I read in the books both character wise and look wise. If I'm paying 14 bucks for a damn 2 hour movie then I deserve to see what makes the characters great to begin with in every regard. Right down to there costumes.

no, my heart doesn't flutter (speaking of smartass) when reeve grins, but i think it would've been a nice option for HT to give us 2 heads, one stern and one smiling. who knows maybe we will, but probably not with this release.

I wouldn't give up hope that the suit will indeed be the right color blue, in fact I'm assuming it will be.

It's probably about as much to ask as it would be to ask you to just shut up for once.

 

[The Mike]

HT can keep their multiple heads with various expressions, just give me the proper blue and I'm set.

 

[a-dev]

As regards suit colour, yes accuracy might be preferred, but if I'd had a hand in what colour the actual suit was in the movies of the 70s/80s it would have been the darker blue.

Sometimes things just don't work. Luckily, they found a way to make Red Skull work in the new one, but it's a tricky one.

Good luck with that.

Looking for common ground here.

Isn't that the Capt. America with the glued on ears

I don't agree. Having a low budget so that you can only make a crappy looking version of a comic outfit vs. having talented costumers and money makes a world of difference. The Red Skull example is a great one, or you can see the eyesore JSA from Smallville, which is another example of low budgets leading to crappy looking characters. I suppose it is tricky making a comic hero look good in the real world, but that's not the same as saying that it can't work.

For some reason, people rarely make this argument about Spiderman or Superman, even though they are intrinsically no less silly-looking than any other character.
