Hot Toys Superman (1978 film version)

Re: Hot Toys Superman

This will come with a Clark outfit. It's DX. Plus the teaser would be a kick in the nuts if not.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I hope it does. Sure it would be GREAT if it was a two-figure set. One figure for Superman in the outfit. One figure for Clark Kent in his suit. I hope Hot Toys includes a lot of great accessories like the green crystal, the kryptonite on a chain, a nice HT figure stand that has part of the Fortress Of Solitude on it. Just a few of the items I'd like to see him come with! Of course the DX should be cool with those movable eyes! Arnie Kim working on it is a HUGE deal too! I can't wait for a good teaser for it soon from Hot Toys.

Man I bet this guy is going to be sold out quick! I can only hope I pre-order before it's pre-sold out

Re: Hot Toys Superman

Well, hopefully more websites than just Sideshow will have it up for pre-order to make our chances better of getting one on pre-order before they all quickly sell out! I am hoping other sites like Toys2.net, Alter Ego Comics, Cotsworld Collectibles, Red Planet Toys and other will also have it for pre-ordering.

Toys2.net (Because i want mine as soon as possible, without having to resort to HK ebay prices)

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I don't think sideshow will have it as it's a DC figure. DC Direct might get it.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I could do without PEERS on this one, personally. I'm not sold on those. My DX Joker and Batman tend to look silly from many angles. Whereas other recent figures without them, T2 Arnold, look more realistic.

While i only own the DX Batman which is PERS i would defiantely prefer a Reeves Supes without PERS, like you say just not realistic compared with that of the likes of the T800

Re: Hot Toys Superman

im not fussed about pers, its a bit gimicky, but i think itl come with this figure just for the fact that for standing poses he can look forward, and in a flying pose like the sig above you will want him looking up

Re: Hot Toys Superman

All i know is when the pics are released and i like them. I'm outta this thread, cause the red lines are gonna come out and people are gonna bring up ____ that i would NEVER notice had they not brought it up in the first place.


(no matter how much this rocks, it will be one of the most nitpicked figures to date)

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I think the positive is Arnie Kim is sculptor, you have to think apart from Bobby C it couldnt be anybody better, maybe YJ Park but i am pretty certain the sculpt will look fantastic and hopefully not to many nitpicks there!

I am hopeful the suit will look spot on and pretty sure we will get a complete new body for Reeve, i do hope your wrong about the nitpickers

Have to agree... movable eyes are a cool idea, but in practice I typically will find one pose/eye position and there it stays

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I don't think the draw of PERS is for you to move it constantly. It's to be able to choose your display option instead of having to do specific poses with the head due to the way the eyes are painted.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

Very good point re PERS for flying poses.

Either way, cannot wait!!

Glad they announced this, as I don't have to keep my 'NO HT' rule anymore.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

Agreed on the PERS - great for setting up your figure, but not something I would be using a lot.

Btw, Snake, love your avatar! "I've got culture coming out of my a$$!"
