Premium Toys 1/6 The Savior (CW Superman) and The Inversion (CW Bizarro)- Tyler Hoechlin

[davejames]

Is this still available anywhere?

I just ordered mine from Ekiahobbies. But you're not going to be able to find this for $150 anymore.

Ugh….why must he be a medicom size. Would love beeeezarrrro

 

[Gipetto0812]

Switching him over to a HT Captain America body would probably do the trick.

 

[Darkseed]

A lot of strain on the suit if it’d fit

 

[davejames]

Yeah I was hoping to do a body swap, or at least bulk up the current body a bit, but there's a lot of people on FB reporting tears and rips in the outfit right out of the box, so it might be too delicate for that...

Thanks for the extra info. If that’s the case, then this will have to be a pass for me. Just ankle extenders alone aren’t gonna change it enough for me.

Guy on FB managed to put this on a bigger Worldbox body. Definitely an improvement as he looks far more imposing now, although I do think this body might be a hair too big for him.

Has anyone ordered from sugo toys before?

 

[Gipetto0812]

Looks better, but that's definitely not a worldbox body from what I can see. I could be wrong, but the neck, arms and torso cut look like they're from the the Ganghood (original Bane) body. They're also using standard thigh enhancers which none of the worldbox bodies come with. Maybe the OP thought it was a worldbox, but it's definitely not the AT027 or AT030, and it's too small to be the AT012 or AT016.

 

[davejames]

Yeah you're right, I meant to say Ganghood (which is easy to identify with that weird neck). Not sure why Worldbox popped out before. Lol

Here's a couple more shots. The one weak point with this body are the legs, which don't look nearly as good as on the stock figure. And of course the S is still all kinds of wrong.

How could they be so lazy with size/proportios of the 'S'???? Probably the easiest part of the suit to make right, with all the details of the fabric, muscles, etc.
I guess that bothers me more than the body itself (I'll probably just use a simple ankle extender, won't risk swapping bodies).

 

[davejames]

Sorry to bring this thread back again, but here's how my Hoechlin Superman is looking after a couple weeks of modding.

I bulked up the existing body with apoxie sculpt, repainted the head, made a new wired cape and new fabric S (with the missing tabs on the side), painted the belt a more metallic red, and used pastel to darken the shading on the suit a little more.

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

Has anyone received their figures recently? I pre ordered mine from sugotoys and nothing.

 

[lid1013]

For people that have this figure, is it easy to body swap? Is there a zipper on the back of the suit or will this require cutting and stitching?

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

Cutting and stitching.
