I often forget I used to have those Superman Returns figures. There was a separate Clark Kent release aswell.
Same. I had them all and loved them. I still have the 2-in-1 set though it's been slowly getting modified over the years. I'd much prefer a well made official statue at this point but don't really see anyone going back to Returns sadly.

**** customs and the sense of superiority it creates for some people.


This will be just fine. My definition of perfect is not the same as those 6 - 7 figures a year custombros.
 
Yea, even as someone who buys into customs, I haven't seen any custom 1/6 Reeve sculpt that I've thought really nailed it. There's been one Clark Kent sculpt that has made the rounds as supposedly really great that I've never liked no matter the painter.

The Inart Cavill Superman looks pretty damn good to me. Far better than those overdone customs that go heavy on airbrush shading on the suit.

Just because something is a custom doesn't mean it's automatically 10/10.

True. Not sure what makes ppl say this. IMO, most customs look awful. They just look bootleg most of the time.



Reeve seems to be one of those very hard-to-sculpt faces for some reason. Makes you wonder how that happens.

The man was incredibly handsome, as in, the perfect face. Maybe that's a factor? Who the hell knows?

I agree. When done right, customs can be pretty amazing; but, as you said, a custom item doesn’t automatically put it as a top contender no matter who the artist(s) involved are. To franpincho’s point, there really are some that look like bad bootlegs.

Ppl really praise that airbrush look for some reason on the Cavill suits, but it just gunks up the suit when they do that IMO. Plus, it’s not at all screen accurate to the way the shading was done on the real thing. InArt showed that it was possible to do without all the heavy airbrushing.

I just want a smiling Reeve that looks like the man. It can be a cake decoration for all I care…or it can be a $10K Arnie Kim statue that somebody wants to donate to me.:lol That’s all I want: A Reeve with teeth that looks better than Mezco’s (who I’ll still give credit to for ACTUALLY DOING IT).

I think that Mezco sculpt is perfectly good for that scale, it's actually the head I've used since day one of owning that figure.
 
Do you think we are going to see an update of this at SDCC? I have high hopes for this figure seeing how much they improved Aragorn from the first figure shown and the great likeness they have achieved in every figure so far.

I think it would be a hell of a way to make a splash/introduce more American customers to their brand, but I’m also curious if the Winderfest reveal hasn’t made them a little gunshy with this particular release. To come right out the gate with something so sought after only to have people collectively dogpile it makes me feel like, now, they’re going to be real skittish.:lol
 
Really hope this hasn't been cancelled. Nearly a year since we heard anything new isn't a good sign.

I highly doubt it was canceled, just got revealed way too early in the prototype phase. I got a feeling this will be up for pre order really soon if they show it SDCC. The real question is though, do I need a Clark Kent figure and am I willing to make space for it which I probably will ahaha
