[jet_force_juno]

Site's down.

Sorry about that. Site had some downtime.

What Dave said, link not working

Cinemaquette website says:


You may need to go on the waiting list

for the Superman.

I wonder if they are SOld Out !!

"Wait list" just means any new orders will be fulfilled from later production batches.

Really enjoyed that interview. I really wish I could get this piece, it really does sound like a labor of love.

 

[Bezzerkerr]

I'm sorry that does NOT look like Christopher Reeve.

Excellent interview. Really shows us the labor of love CM has put into this piece.

Love the concept art and box art sneak. Am really looking forward to this piece.

i will have to agree with you there , that picture is not a good take, silicone is too shiny, and yes, it does not really look like reeve there but there are other pics that capture the likeness, and im confident that this piece in hand, will look amazing

Also reserving judgement until I see in-hand pics but I have to say despite all the good and noble intentions I like the box more than anything.

I'm also amazed anything good came from that sumo-like concept art. If you want Reeve in flight there are many more configurations that would have rendered beautifully in 3D - what we have is Superman landing and in a slightly camp way which Reeve never did.

Bizarre when you think of all the iconic poses from all the STM NY publicity shoots (pointing at the sky/raised fist/hands on hips, etc.) that such a design was approved.

i agree with you there my friend, that is why i will be cutomizing mine

 

[aficionado]

I agree with the comment about the color.

The Superman movies were on the AMC channel the other week and the costume is much bluer than what it looks like today, which is faded.

I think they hit the color.

This is going to be awesome.

 

[Darklord Dave]

The color comes off differently whether it's in the film or in person and I'd agree that the CM color is closer to what's in the film than what's in person or in publicity shots. It would seem the film was color-corrected but the publicity shots were not.

But I'll see if I can live with it when it arrives next month...

 

[Darklord Dave]

[Darknight]

Excellent news! Simply cannot wait for this..its going to be AMAZING! Do post lots of pics and your impressions Dave

Pics are in at CBD. This thing turned out uglier than CM's other human pieces. Note the long eye lashes, terribly painted eyes, awful stuck on and trimed hair and how the cape attaches. This thing is Hideous.

Either I'm finicky or I've harder to please in my old age...
I felt zip looking at that piece.

 

[Ash Housewares]

I love CM and I have owned the T-850, T-800 and still own the predator but this is so damn ugly. And it was delayed by 3 months. LOL

 

[Natrix]

Yikes, looks like it lost a lot from prototype to production. The eyes do look bad and the caterpillar eyebrows aren't helping.

Is Superman supposed to sweat that much?

 

[cking]

That is apalling. Seriously - I think CM should refund everyone's money and cancel this. How on earth did it get past the Reeve Foundation's approval?
It's a huge disappointment and I am very glad that I didn't order one of these.

 

[goldbuffalo]

I like it.

Some angles don't look as good, but others look spot on. Don't forget you have a digital camera zoomed right into his face, I don't think anyones going to get that close.

It'd be nice to see him next to some other Cinemaquette statues.
