Re: Hot Toys Superman
You have no way of knowing this.
Could be a completely new body just for Superman.
You're quite correct, I don't. HOWEVER, i can make an educated guess based upon common sense, and hot toys history.
first and foremost, hot toys is a business, they are going to make decisions about what to produce based upon what will yield the biggest profit margin for them. They do go above and beyond the call when creating their figures, but they do not go about throwing money into unnecessary production.
Or to put it simply, "don't fix what isn't broke"
consider how "buff" reeve was in the movie
Lets look at some images.
/sarcasm
look at those bulging muscles, those rippling biceps, he's a regula Ahnold isn't he?
/sarcasm
saracasm aside, that physique is actually smaller than the TTA. so we might see some sort of hybrid of the Corrected shoulder, and the TTA, I'm not entirely certain.
My point is, there is no need to do an entirely new body, with his "unique physique" that you will never see because it's permanently covered by spandex.
Reeve's bodytype was in shape, average "hollywood" guy ( Han solo, Brad Pitt, etc, your average "fit" actor) . the tryutype does an excelent job of fitting that look already.
Now, I'll be honest, i would not be at all suprised to see a new "hybrid body" with, for example, a rubber-like upper torso with more detailed musculature, like wolverine has. but that's as "specialized" as i anticipate them to get.
Could I be incorrect in my opinionated guess? Yes. But I do not think i am.
I anticipate the R&D money to be spent instead on an extra head, and CK outfit.
Speaking of extra heads, that's why i do not think he will have a neck that is fused to the chest. I expect him to have the same neck as albert wesker, and have Light up "heat vision" eyes in addition to his PERS headsculpt.
