1/6 MMS207-Superman III-Evil Superman Collectible Figure

Re: Hot Toys-MMS207-Superman III- 1/6th Scale Evil Superman Collectible Figure

Good call.
STM was amazing, back in the day, and I think it still is.
I agree that part 3 was, not so amazing! OK, it was kind of lame. That said, the evil Supes was the best thing in that movie, so I'm in there for this figure.
I held the HS pic up by my figure, and if truth be told, I really can't see a difference. The new one does look darker in tone, but the features look the same. I don't care, as its another classic Supes release.
I'd love to see a Lex, with a variety of 'wigs' !!

They look different to me.

I'm surprised that no one has pointed out to you, that the above original Reeve head there, was the prototype sample - BEFORE production.

They changed it.

The new figure is the exact same head as the previous production head - although they may... have altered the frown ever so slightly.

I hope you are joking because like 5 people pointed it out.

Looking at ths objectively... I hate doing that... Anyway, that HS is a straight STM portrait. Reeves did look different in part 3, most notably the hairline. And, the evil Supes sported a floppy curl, more over to one side, and more tussled .
I'm still in for this, but in truth, if the STM sculpt is used as shown, it's pretty lazy.

View attachment 63735Wow. Ridiculous. They didnt even try. We gota talk with our wallets folks. If people buy this, there gona keep screwing us. Never thought id b saying this, but im getting tired of this hobby. The last figure ive been excited about was bd t800, and that wasnt even a new license

The thing I'm still disappointed about, is the chest emblem. Every time I see a bust photo of Reeve in the suit - it irks me.

HT went for a perfectly printed, wider / stockier symbol, as opposed to the actual proportions on Reeve's suit emblem. It's funny, considering Mattel got it right on their 12" figure.

I am highly conflicted on this one. I am a sucker for Christopher Reeve Superman stuff. But this figure is a hard one to justify. My money would be better suited elsewhere... and just hope that one day a Clark Kent would come out.

We need a Clark Kent for him to battle with.

I'm up for this.. Yeah I could pick at his hair being too perfect for evil supes... And his overall look not being grubby enough... And the facial expression near identical (something's different though) and he looks too normal and not at all evil, but its still a nice piece and I bet side by side it will look different which is how I will display it. Thinking of him holding the Kryptonite chain and maybe face down for a change or hunched over a bit... I also rekkon you could easily scruffy him up some more with some really simple tweaks... I bet its better in hand next to a clean one, they usually are when you finally(!) get them..!

He needs to look errr ? More Evil.

Maybe put an evil looking smirk on his face

You would think they would of put an honest effort in the paint app on a rehash figure.

Nothing's different about the sculpt ...

Only looks a bit different when compared to the prototype pictures, not the actual release.

Which is good, since that sculpt is perfect.

I would like to see direct comparisons between the two in the same photos, though. On its own the Evil Superman suit colors don't appear dark enough. But it's hard to know without proper reference. Lighting is everything.

Such an incredibly lame *** Exclusive, not even funny.

 

[Privyet]

Re: Hot Toys-MMS207-Superman III- 1/6th Scale Evil Superman Collectible Figure

at least they chose this to be exclusive to whatever toy fair is and not some spectacular looking superman

Re: Hot Toys-MMS207-Superman III- 1/6th Scale Evil Superman Collectible Figure

This would have actually been a great exclusive. If HT had put the effort in.

There is no way I cannot buy this. Even if its exactly the same as the previous version. My love for Superman is that great.
