Official 12" Hot Toys Superman returns Image Thread!

now if only HT could do a Reeve figure...

u got that right!!! not sure why, but i guess i've been "desensitized" by all the actor swapping when it comes to Bats (tho West and Keaton would be my faves and the figs i'd want the most), but there will only ever be 1 Supes for me, and that's Reeve!

There's no rigid enforcement of thread topic here. Personally I think that's why some people come to this board.

Sorry, Dave. I wasn't trying to enforce anything. That's why I said it was no big deal. I've taken threads off topic more than once myself.

That is an amazing looking Reeve custom there Dave!

Here's my original Reeve Superman with my HT Supes the day I got him...

And the HT Supes after I reworked him...

I still think that sculpt is too square for Routh, but man that's a gorgeous paintjob. You truly are a master.

I don't think it's really that subjective, that looks more like Routh as Superman than Routh himself did the day he got the job.

NICE JOSH!

Supes looks great in those D.A. signature flying poses

...and Bats, what can I say? Thanks bro!

 

[carbo-fation]

For some reason my Supes left arm wont go up higher! I don't want to push it too hard in fear of breaking it. Any suggestions would be appreciated! :chew

By the way, nice pix Josh!

 

[Wor-Gar]

DarkArtist -- now that's the way Superman should be posed! He looks awesome like that!

I love those poses, would also love to see both arms forwards with fists thrusting the air... don't know if I've seen that pose yet.

Please Josh?

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Man, I really wish I had one of those Supes!

And a Takara Batman wouldn't be so bad either.....

His shoulder ball is probably positioned backward. I read about it in the review at Michael Crawford's site. Instead of raising the arm up, lower it down and keep going -- backward and up -- until it's at his side again; then rotate his bicep/shoulder joint around so his elbow is facing the right way again. I had the same thing happen to both my Supes and Batman.

Nice shots DarkArtist81!

Really nice shots!!

[DarkArtist81]

Holy Hell GDB! Very cool hover shot... nice that you can hardly see the stand holding him up, genius!

Pjam, consider it done. Will post tonight!

Ashad, be very careful with his shoulder joints... His arms are a little tough to move up into position, you just have to lift the arms straight up at his sides.. like he's at the airport and being scanned...

You then move them forward and slowly push them up. sometimes for me it ends up being the costume holding mine back, so I constantly rotate the sleeves as I am doing it. If anything, just to keep it from adding any unnecessary stress on the arms or clothing. Keep playing with it and I guarantee you will loosen them up enough for any pose!

Keep trying!
