OMG, nice picts as always.
But could you indulge me and take a shot or two with the Reeve sculpt on the Cavill body/figure?
Thanks.

I thought the same thing until someone who has MoS Supes in hand pointed out that not only are the body and hands bigger on Cavill Supes but so is his head as compared to Reeve. I would love to see the Reeve sculpt on the Cavill body but I believe the head will look small on the body, like Chris Redfield's head.

Also, if you've ever put Reeve Supes next to say Thor or Cap or even Wolverine the Reeve figure is the tallest in the group. Reeve Superman was the tallest non-Predator/Hulk/Iron Monger figure before this Man of Steel figure. I'd love to see MoS comparison pics, Clipper King style, with Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hulk.

If anything, it looks like the torso is the big difference maker. That was an element they didn't quite get in the Reeve figure. You can tell in real life his upper body was a bit longer. Just sayin.

Re: <> Man of Steel - Superman - OMG Photo Review - P1 ~ 2 <>

Oh no, I agree. If you compare the Reeve figure to say Indy you can tell that not only is his torso and legs longer but his head is bigger, too. My point is that the difference in size between the Reeve Sups figure and say the Indy figure is the same difference in size between the Cavill Sups and Reeve Sups just the Cavill is that much bigger. Reeve's head may look small on Cavill's body or worse, have a long neck.

Now with that being said I can't wait to get a Man of Steel Superman in my hands to swap the head for Reeve or put the figure in the Reeve uniform or even the Routh uniform. I am not ashamed to admit that part of my 1/6 collecting is playing dress up with my action figures.

That's why someone's gotta play Dr. Frankenstein on that MOS buck. If we could get that longer torso to fit, I think it wouldn't look quite as jarring.

I am there with you. I have taken apart just about every version of these figures and I can't wait to take a crack at the Man of Steel. I'd love to see if his forearms are swappable.

I'd really like to see a shot of MOS with Amazing Spiderman - that figure looked way too small and it might be fun to see the height differences.

I've always complained that HT didn't think about scale enough and now when they do they go crazy in the wrong directions!

It seems like Hot Toys was going for something else with Superman's height. Like this is Comic book Superman and Comic book Spider-Man.

It really is.

Makes ASM Spidey look Medicom sized.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Re: <> Man of Steel - Superman - OMG Photo Review - P1 ~ 2 <>

Wow. If it were the comics - this wouldn't be too far off.

But if we buy into the character is the height of the actor - Garfield is 5'10.5" and Cavill is 6'1" - so they shouldn't only be a 1/2 inch difference between the figures.

There's something wrong when MoS Supes is taller than Reeve Supes and the T-800 and ASM is shorter than the othe Spidey's and most 1/6 females.

Hot Toys dun goofed.

Dont get me wrong, The figure looks incredible but they did F up on the height. That's Good ole HT for ya, there's always got to be something holding a figure back from perfection.

Re: <> Man of Steel - Superman - OMG Photo Review - P1 ~ 2 <>

it is strange they made MoS so big, but maybe they are changing the height of all their figures for future releases.

It doesnt bother me at all since I display 1 per shelf and the MoS will all be in the same case.

I think you've touched on why HT has so many vocal critics. They're so good but there's always something, something that didn't need to have been screwed up but was. This frustrates people.

Yeah, well when their next "1/6" scale figure is 16 inches tall you might.

Re: <> Man of Steel - Superman - OMG Photo Review - P1 ~ 2 <>

I wonder if you permanently pose the figure on the flying stand, will it damage the suit with how fragile it seems to be?

Tbf if it's a Predator I'd be over the moon.
