1/6 MMS216 - Man of Steel: General Zod Collectible Figure

[BrooklynWolf X]

It would be good if Hot Toys include a second head sculpt for Superman with an angry face to match Zod but this is impossible now.

Word.

It's such a weird choice to make considering the neutral expression superman has.

I mean. You'd think those buying this would've already ordered superman

 

[The Iron Koob]

Hmmm I'll probably order it when I see other pics, it doesn't look that good

 

[Peloquin77]

Woot, bring on the pre order!

Hope Superman, Jor-el and this don't hit all at once, my wallets not usually great after the Xmas holidays either way bring it on

 

[chubbyman]

Zod can be angry while Superman can be cool and majestic. I don't see a problem, My wallet is ready.

 

[Ehollywood]

Exactly chubbyman. Zod was always more intense then superman.

HT trying to emulate this...

Yeah instead of going for a some what neautral expression, which would of probably been more easier to do they tried to mimic this expression, which is a risky move to make if you are aiming for likeness. However, Hot Toys wanted to make a sculpt that had life to it as the MOS one is just quite neutral but nevertheless, more accurate and still better IMO.

This the problem I have with Hot Toys, they try too hard sometimes to give life to the sculpt when all they need to do is just sculpt a somewhat neutral look like the MOS one.

Sure is, the MOS sculpt is very realistic and this one looks more like a comic book version of Shannon as Zod.

It's not just that. When one buys the villain, it's usually because they have the hero, so they can display them together or set up dioramas. If superman had a second HS (like it should have in the beginning because, lets be honest, there isn't a hell of a whole lot of accessories you can give SUPERMAN) with an angry expression, then Zods expression would be more fitting.

I'm getting this bad boy regardless, but it's such an odd choice from HT. if evil face is right that they intend to do an armor less look supplied with a neutral expression, no doubts that, or just the HS itself, will fly off the shelves because fans will mix and match.

Smart choice I guess...greedy, but smart.

No I know what you were trying to say I was just giving my opinon on what I think of this sculpt.

Perhaps every figure should come with a second head sculpt as that would suit both Hot Toys and us collectors that are looking for accuracy over risky sculpts.

 

[Centrocal]

Wow that sculpt is crazy! Most extreme they've ever done. What I do like is, the emotion in the eyes match the mouth, unlike the Wolverine sculpt.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Isn't there a thread for this already going?

 

[Russell1982]

Hmm, I think the headsculpt looks good likeness wise, but not a fan of the expression. As others have said, it kind of limits posing in a way. They should really have included a neutral sculpt as well if they wanted to do something like this.

That said, everything else is stunning and I'll be ordering this for sure. Really hope we hear something about Faora. I'm not convinced Hot Toys will make her but I'm really hoping they do.

I wish they did do that. Leonidas came with 2. I'm sure there were a few others but I can't think of them at the moment.

I'm an unusual case then, I own Monger & Joker yet I never wanted IM or Batman. Heors are just not my thing.

I don't particularly like the HS, regardless this is an instant PO.

It's not too bad likeness wise as you can tell who it is, but looks more like a caricature of Shannon and thus, not very realistic.

Well DC direct did, so there is always hope.

I think it's mainly DX's that do but Red skull is one I can think that is not a DX, that came with two heads.

 

[Walker]

This is perfect,I was doing a custom zod on the crapper diorama,now I got the perfect head.

Fixed prolly.

HT said they will be offering a Zod without armor.

Hmmm, so I guess that Zod will have the neutral expression then.

Avengers' Cap too.... and City Hunter, Ryo.... that's it I think...

 

[vnguyen]

Definitely think the sculpt is off, but I have no doubt that HT will fix this with a more accurate sculpt by the time it is released.

Even if they don't change the sculpt, this is a beautiful piece overall.

at that headsculpt. Likeness is way off imo. The Iconic Statue is better.
