JND Studios: Superman (Christopher Reeve) 1:3

[Gipetto0812]

Paid off the $3,320 balance today.

Wonder what number my statue is - they were supposed to ship out “sequentially” starting last week.

Will be interesting if they do a sequential shipping order as I think on all previous statues they shipped local/Korean orders first, then shipped international ones afterwards regardless if you ordered before a local person, then of course retailer stores being last.

I'm nervously waiting to see / hear people's thoughts when they've got it in hand. I'll be waiting for another month or two because my order was with TRZ Collectibles (JND authorized retailer), so guess mine will be coming last. Hope we're all pleasantly surprised when we receive ours!

Better! Thanks for posting those Shoo. I'm not seeing anything that stands out as a downgrade on the Clark statue. Both look superb in these photos (to my eyes anyway).

I love Clark.

JND made excellent changes and I am very happy with the final result! Looking forward to adding my in hand pictures!

I wonder when we'll see the first unboxing video / photos from a customer? Once again, it's interesting to note people's perception of these pieces. Art Statue Collector put his video from Wonderfest on Youtube and his reaction from seeing both of them was that Superman "looked just like him" but Clark was a little "off".

ArtStatueCollector also said the heat vision sculpt on JL Superman looked more like Cavill than the standard so idk how much I trust his opinion on likenesses lol

Damn, looks excellent in those shots! Funny I'm comparing to the picture of Reeve in your avatar, and this JND piece is pretty darn close.

These look SOOOOO good!

Nice in-hand photo!

Nice in-hand photo!

Looks so good!

The sculpting detail of the fabric costume is INSANE on this piece. I normally prefer mixed media where applicable for that tactile feel, but when it's sculpted this well, you really don't need it. If I didn't already know it was sculpted, I would think it's real fabric.

Even the NewDreamProps fabric costume for their custom 1/3 statue doesn't look this good.

I swear this statue looks different in almost every photo I’ve seen.

But this set is one of the better ones so far of the face.

Just got my tracking # from JND😃. Already built my glass display case and it's ready for this grail.

On a side note, this is the first time I've ever claimed anything in my collection as a "grail". Can't wait to get this in.

Congrats! Looking forward to your review and your set up!

Pretty sure it’ll be awhile for me since I waited until the reveal pics to pay for mine.

Oh that's fantastic. I'm envious of you guys who are getting them now. Mine was ordered through an authorised distributor so I'll be waiting at least another month I think.
Look forward to seeing your photos of the statue and hearing your thoughts about what it's like in person! Enjoy

Thanks man. I don't know if JND ships in batches but hopefully you'll get you're tracking # any day now.

Now I'm anxiously waiting for that email from FedEx about that customs form I'll have to complete. Fingers crossed I won't run into any issues or delays with that.

I'm envious of you guys who got the duo version! I don't know if I'll post pics because i suck when it comes to taking photos 😅. If I can snap some good photos I'll definitely share. Hopefully it won't be too long 'til your distributor receives and ships your order out.

I'll be happy just to hear what you think about it in person and how it compares / differs from what you've seen up until now in the photos and videos. I'm particularly interested to hear about how the blue colour looks in person. It sounds like your expectations are similar to mine ie: wanting it to be a grail piece!

The number one key to taking photos (especially if using a phone camera) is to stand back at least a couple of feet from the statue and then zoom in on it. This minimizes the lens distortion which occurs with all phone cameras.

My expectations are definitely similar to yours. I agree with pretty much everything you've been saying about this piece here and over at the other forum. I'm looking forward to sharing my opinion about it once it's in hand. With that said, I already know this statue will look amazing in person.


Thanks for the tip on taking photos. I just got a new phone a couple days ago(Samsung s24 ultra) which has a great camera. I mean it's no top of the line Sony Alpha or Nikon DSLR camera so pics can and will look crappy if you not taken properly. I'll do my best😄.
