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)

:goodpost::exactly:

im not gonna leave the thread, but I have a feeling that there are going to be so many ppl that will be like "blank isn't right. it's supposed to look this *insert movie still*" IMO

I can understand ppl nitpicking about joker and batman as their V1 figures were pretty off the mark, but since this will probably be the only 1/6 CR superman, i'm just happy that it's being done by the best 1/6 company to date and know they won't let us down
 
Re: Hot Toys Superman

This is a thrill! For a very long time, many were begging, hoping to have Hot Toys make this happen. Finally, it's happening so I'm as happy as a pig in $%^! LOL

They wont disappoint but they have a lot of pressure on this one, they wont mess the suit like Cinemaquette, and i believe that Arnie Kim will hit the jackpot on CR likeness! Still would like to see how are they going to resolve the issue of the arms with the suit you know putting him in flying positions......... at this scale it will be difficult.....
 
Re: Hot Toys Superman

What exactly is the S.R figure suit made of? What type of material? Im assuming its all one piece

Im really hoping HT will make the suit more fitted this time around...

Astar, I imagine it will be similar to how to did their Superman Returns figure. See here for one of my pics:

Re: Hot Toys Superman

his suit is a cotton/polyester blend of sorts. and it looks fine on him. the only issue is his overly broad old true type style shoulders.

Lerath you can always change out the old broad shouldered truetype with a nice Wesker body. It makes Superman look right. That's what I did with mine.

Here is the Superman with the stock body (pic borrowed from Reinhardt)

Then Superman with the Wesker body:

So much better. Oh I also drilled out the head a little so that it sat lower on the neck post. Helps make him look bigger.
 
Re: Hot Toys Superman

The suit is just one piece. You need to unstitch the side or waist and pull out the body and stick it back in. You need to be careful not to do it too hard or too many times cause you may stretch out the suit.
 
Re: Hot Toys Superman

ah. yeah.. not going to do that. did it a few times with my medicom spidey, and i'm never doing it again.

:lol

..I think Ive asked this question before but dont think I got a solid answer. But how do you guys think a more tighter fitted spandex suit will hold up on a TT body? Has there ever been a HT that featured a tight, spandex outfit?
 
Re: Hot Toys Superman

on the new advance, it looks fine. take a look at the snake eyesthread. Snake eyes has a spandex shirt, and many people ported him over to the truetype advance.
 
Re: Hot Toys Superman

One thing you could also do with your SR Supes is take a bit of cotton and stuff the suit around the traps/shoulders/upper chest area. It's what I did with mine, and it fills out that area of the suit nicely.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

Is that head a repaint? Looks good.

My Jor el arrived today, actually better in hand than I thought it would be. C'mon supes! I'm ready for ya.
