JND Studios: Superman (Christopher Reeve) 1:3

[cking]

Let's put this into perspective for a moment and compare it with the other 1/3 Reeve Superman that was made available to us a few years ago. I personally think that this will be a stunning display piece and I will be amazed if anything is released in the future that will surpass this.

I’m still happy with it and will be keeping my order for the dual set

I am glad you like it guys. For that amount of money it is not good enough for me. Sculpt is just a let down.

Here's an example. JND on the left, mine on the right. Look how dramatically different the mouth area looks - the lips don't even look remotely alike; it looks like different people.

Obviously the temperature is vastly different too, but again, that's lighting.

The other thing is in mine it looks alive, simply because of the light reflection in its eye (as a human eye would). The JND doesn't have that and so it comes across as lifeless.

Worst of all, I took that on my iPhone, and did 30 seconds worth of tweaks in the phone.

Your photo looks amazing! Like an on set photo of a human, and I agree I was thinking JND really need to add an eye light

Looks like Alan Ritchson.

I cancelled mine. I hope I can get the NRD back.

I can't see past his pea-sized head now

I cancelled mine. I hope I can get the NRD back.

You should be. It looks like ****.


For the price being asked this should look good on any light setting, with any camera, on-hand or off-hand.

Ngl, the original proto portrait looks better when comparing to this movie photo shot. I'm still happy with the revised portrait though especially after seeing the photos on the JND website. Ill be keeping my PO. Even if I didn't like it, I would probably consider it as a Christopher Reeve version of Bizzaro.

 

[Hologram AI]

Looks like they made his shoulders and chest too wide and broad. Makes his head look even smaller than it already does.

 

[JackNasty]

Looks like Alan Ritchson.

Yup! or a young Dennis Quaid.

 

[bperry]

Looks more like the Hollywood Blvd Superman(RIP btw).

 

[Gipetto0812]

I cancelled mine. I hope I can get the NRD back.

They should to be honest. Even though I still like the sculpt, this isn't what was originally advertised and not what folks originally ordered.

This is also why JND originally mentioned being hesitant about changing the sculpt back when all the request came in to make the change - b/c there are ppl who want/like the original and what they ordered, not something different.

Hopefully you were/are able to actually talk to someone through email rather than just an automated cancellation process. There's usually a better chance at getting a full refund that way.

I do agree the previous head sculpt was good and only required better paint application and hair styling. The sculpt was fine as shown in the video unpainted, you can tell it's Reeve.
However this revised one is still good. Some of the other sculpts from different artists aren't 100% perfect either. To put this sculpt to the test I showed a picture to some people who aren't comic fans, don't collect statues etc. I showed the picture and asked if they know who this is. They answer Christopher Reeve. Obviously they would need to know who he is as well.

Could it be bettered? Sure.
If I walked into a room and saw this, would I struggle to know who it was and not be able to appreciate how close to accurate a likeness it actually is?
Hell f'ing no.

Exactly. I can add that if we never saw any attempts at Reeve in statue form, and then saw this come out of no where, we would think it looked real.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Was just scrolling through FB and saw someone in the JND Collectors group said they uploaded a pic of both original and new headsculpts to chatGBT and apparently AI agrees that the new one is more accurate. Not that it really means anything, nor am I a proponent of AI by any means either. Just thought it was interesting and sort of humorous

And yet, someone did this version on that celebrity lookalike app, and it said the closet likeness was Michael Fassbender.

I don't think AI is the best way to qualify its accuracy.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, if you're happy with your purchase, that's all that matters.
