Sweet baby cheeses- he really is looking great. As usual I'm getting the urge to buy a second so I can display both looks. That rage-face flight pose is really winning me over as the primary display option either way though.

I guess we know what why Justin was playing with a legless Superman in yetsreday's images. Someone was frantically cutting out quad-shaped felt strips to glue onto the old chicken legs.
Remember that little strip of felt on Jail cell Joker's chest...

Also- how do people think the reflective effect was acheived on-screen? Bright lights were directed at the suit; so the figure is behaving like the screen prop.
If they go more transparent with the fabric, we'll see the figure's joints more, and the only other way to enhance the shine effect would be to paint highlights on. I don't entirely oppose that but it could lead to the whole figure suddenly looking more like a comic design.
 
Guys I know this isn't totally Superman related but as he will too come with that Batman Cowl —which is also the base for their upcoming Batfleck figure— I want to mention that the cowl isn't accurate. Atleast from what I have seen today. IA have re-done the Batfleck sculpt and just completed it last week so still seeing this cowl today is not a good thing. I have told my friend who's colleague is working on this Bats, also sent a detailed message to IA but also want to ask you guys to DM this to IA personally so that they can notice and adjust this even before the very first reveal.
These collage and numbered pics are the ones I just sent to IA with the following feedback. Tried to use as much easy words as possible for their better understanding.
Please have a look and do Forward this on their Social Media my brothers ❤️

1. Observe the Nose shape from side view. It's not sharp, not straight and not pointed like The Dark Knight Batman. Instead, it has a varied shape throughout and little bend at the tip. Attaching 3 reference photos from the movie for now.

2. Nose shape from front side is also a round shape and little offset to the left side (whole cowl has uneven parts in order to give it a hand-made effect which I'll discuss later upon Batman's official reveal).
Also, please notice the thickness and curve of his Nostrils shape. It is mostly aligned with each end side of Ben's lips.

3. Both eyes' shapes and sizes are different from each other. Right eye is little smaller and oval in a circular way. Left eye is little bigger and rectangular oval (as I mentioned above, these parts are made indifferently to show the hand-made feel of the cowl and depict it like a real beast or a bat. Not something totally High Tech like TDK Bale or Arkham Cowl. That's why the whole cowl has uneven shapes, roughness and wrinkles here and there)

And please also look at this RED line. Eyes cutouts are aligned with his mouth cutout.

These are the details that would set this Batman Cowl totally apart from Hot Toys previous attempts and all the custom headsculpts out there :) looking forward to hearing from you on this.
Thank you 😊

I appreciate the attention to detail but I think it is too early for us to be critiquing the Batman cowl to this degree. Granted I would like it correct for this figure but not something I would concentrate on.
 
Chrome is so strong and costume is so thin, I can clearly see the joints inside the suit. Idk what else they can do. HT figures look totally matte under the regular lighting and suit isn't as shiny in the movies either. It's all about the lighting and reflections.

I know brother, but the cowl will be included with this Supes. So it should also be accurate. That's the reason I made it this sooner.
