Re: Hot Toys Superman

The VAT increase is going to be such a pain on all of these next year. :/

If I was a heavy collector...I would move my ass to the USA...A...S...A...P

Yeah that is going to be a pain.

I suppose if you say for every £200 you spend, you have to pay an extra £5 VAT. It might not seem so painful, but over the year that is going to add up, to make us a lot poorer.

Don't forget the Hat

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I was pondering the hat the other day actually.

I have a feeling we won't get one, unlss both heads have PERS, (hope), and the CK head has a switchable hair/hat with hair piece.

You really have given that a lot of thought.
I think a hat is a given, judging by the landa figure. Just hope it's not oversized like that one is...

WHAT? NO WAaaaaaaaaaY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J.Tsang certainly a veeeeeery cool sculptor, but... the only things that he gets as "AWESOME" is the detailing and painting.
Everything else outa him just SUCK. So I really hope that he will not be involved in this project

I'm hoping that the body and head(s) will be sculpted by Arnie Kim.
His work on Bruce Lee figures were terrific and I see no reason not to entrust both aspects to his gold hands.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I'd say with the exception of the muscular body, you're probably going to be pretty accurate.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

so, which of these looks better to you guys?

This one is using the Comedian body. I like the body and more defined neck muscles but the articulation on the arms are too limited.

FYI, one on top is a truetype advance.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

This thread has fallen too far down the page. BUMP.

So, when is the reveal? Too many Ms. Cleos keep getting my hopes up. I'm excited about this one.

 

[lerath666]

Re: Hot Toys Superman

there is some logical expectation for him to be shown at the expo this weekend.
The new DX indy is getting shown, likely the iron man mark V will be as well, and it is logical to think this will be shown as well.

Sweet!!!

I won't count on it, BUT .... I'll continue to hope! Nothing wrong with that.

This thing should have been revealed ages ago, it seems.
