Re: Hot Toys - MMS152 - Superman: 1/6th scale Superman Collectible Figure

this totally blew me away! pictures don't do justice!

Red Son anyone?

My only gripe is I can't seem to put the crystals properly, it's as if the holes don't exactly fit the pegs.

Great looking figure. Trying softening up the base with a blow dryer or Hot Water.

The artwork on the discs doesn't actually have any text, it's got the red half and the photo, but no name of the film on it.Luckily it's not hard to tell what movie's what but it's weird. Will take some photo's when I get back from Holiday (hopefully my HT supes will have arrived too)

Same here, i guess it is the european version of the discs. The movie title is only printed in the tiny text on the edge of each disc

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen~

Does the folded arms pose work to any degree?

I wasn't able to achieve a convincing enough folded arms pose so reckon the closest one can get is probably what guyver1 posted.

Used rubber bands on his wrists to reduce the 'airing of armpits' effect...

Look at James Bond Thunderball for an example. It was made twice as Thunderball ....

Are you sure? When was the second version done?

"Never Say Never Again" was based on Thunderball. EON lost all rights to Thunderball when Kevin McClory convinced a court it was based on a screenplay he co-wrote with Ian Fleming.

McClory went on to make two unofficial Bond films from the screenplay, Thunderball and Never Say Never Again. Sean Connery starred. He had a falling out with Albert Broccoli and EON and quit the official franchise years earlier, so the was his 'FU' to Broccoli.

McClory had intended to make another story based on Thunderball starring Timothy Dalton as Bond and Sean Connery as Blofeld. Sony bailed on McClory after a lawsuit by EON. McClory died in 2006, effectively ending the rogue Bond films.

MGM purchased the video rights for both McClory films later and now have been released alongside the official Bond films on DVD.

WTF??!! That would have been bizarre! I couldn't conceive of Connery actually doing that.

It was tentatively titled Warhead 2000 AD. Connery felt he was too old to be Bond but had verbally agreed to return as the villain (which of course is Blofeld). Sony and McClory were pursuing Dalton as their first choice for Bond and Liam Neeson as their second.

This was during the period MGM/EON were making an official Casino Royal* with Daniel Craig. EON chased Sony off the rouge franchise with a lawsuit. Sony would later attempt to buy the official Bond franchise from financially troubled MGM. Sony is now co-producing Bond 23 (Skyfall) and Bond 24.

*which also had a rogue film made back in the 1960's with Peter Sellers.

Yes I know that but I read "It was made twice as Thunderball and then Never Say Never Again." to mean there were two movies called "Thunderball", as well as "Never say never again". No big deal. A missing comma after "twice" I think.
