Official 12" Hot Toys Superman returns Image Thread!

[EVILFACE]

So, do you figure the (apparently) confirmed Hot Toys Christopher Reeve Superman will reduce or increase the value/price of the two-in-one Routh Superman?

I don't have a HT Superman yet, and I wouldn't mind having both the CR and the BR ... so I wouldn't mind seeing the price fall a bit (at least until I find one for a reasonable price).

Any recommendations on where to get one for a reasonable price, and which version to get? (I'm leaning two-in-one, but I've heard the V1 is good too).

I don't think it will affect it much, will prolly drop a little. It is still the best Superman figure to date.

Damn, this movie was bad.

Wasted opportunity imo... I really liked Routh as Superman and (I'm gonna catch hell for this I know) I liked Kate Bosworth as Lois. Too bad they wasted them in a movie with that stupid "Superman has a kid" thing, too much angst, not enough Superman action, etc.

I loved that line lol. I also loved his delivery of "So we do have some time to kill."

It wasn't that bad. I would say it is better than most of the Marvel efforts. (Fantastic Four 1 & 2, Daredevil, Hulk, Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Elektra, Man-Thing, Spiderman 3, Punisher Warzone . . .)

Damn, this movie was bad.

yes...but it was better than III and IV

 

[DCfan]

I liked it when I first saw it, because I love the first two movies so much that it was nice to go back into that world; but I saw it again recently and was really bored. I still wouldn't call it bad, it's just got nothing to offer beyond a Donner homage.

Punisher War Zone is vastly superior to Superman Returns, IMO.

 

[FLOSI]

I thought The Increadible Hulk was good... Hulk, on the other hand, sucked.

Returns was on the other day. I really do like parts quite a bit... Anything to do with the damn kid or Lois just sucks my balls though.

I posted this in another thread, but thought it might fit here. I slit the suit down the back and then did a LOT of pulling and tugging to get the suit on a Hot Toys muscular body.

Did you consider trying the suit on a Wesker body with the muscular legs added? You may have got the results you desired and still had plenty of articulation.

 

[karamazov80]

That looks pretty good! He's more muscular than Routh of course, but since the 2-in-1 is more comic Superman than Routh (in my opinion), the bulk works. I haven't been a big fan of the over-use of the muscular bodies for Joes that I've seen, but I think it works very well there.

No, I made this a while back when the 2 and 1 first came out. I"m thinking of adding the thigh pads that came with the True Type my GF won for me on facebook. I agree with you in that it looks like the newer muscular bodies like Wesker, Wolverine, or Comedian would work so much better than the one I used.

That Supes looks amazing! Was it difficult to fit the muscular body in the suit?

Thanks!! Yeah, had to be careful not to rip it. It still has a slit down the back covered by the cape. I had to ug and pull until it sat right on the body.

Good effort, but doesn't this mean that you can't do a flying pose?
