SooSoo - 1/6 SST-057 Mr. Ice (Mr. Freeze: Batman & Robin, 1997)

[Captain Clown]

We should be getting shipping notices soon.

I’ll be curious to see how it turned out. I’m kind of waiting on in hand pictures too. It seems like SooSoo are fairly consistent with prototype to final release.

I'm just waiting for SooSoo to do the inevitable: "You've all just bought robe-version-Freeze, now we reveal the one you really wanted, Armored-version-Freeze!"

They actually teased that version months ago.

Hopefully it’ll go up soon.

I think the robe version is pretty great actually. Fits the goofy tone of the movie.

Very eager for pictures to break on this one. I don't have it on PO, but definitely want to pick it up if it turned out well and in scale.

Is the ice-chair a separate order or why are there two boxes?

The ice chair is included with the figure. Not sure how they’re packing it though.

Looks great! That is 1000% Arnie as Freeze. Light that in some blue lighting, and it’s gonna look very COOL indeed

 

[Captain Clown]

That looks awesome. Perfectly happy displaying that. Might repaint the eyes though.

I was waiting for production pictures before paying my invoice, but I'm very pleased with this so I paid it this morning. If that's a production pic, it looks like the proto to me. I can't wait to see more pics of him in-hand especially with the slippers. I would have preferred "iced" eyes - no clue how that obvious detail was missed. Anxious to see those who repaint the eyes. I will need recommendations of anyone that would be willing to repaint mine once I receive him.

Looks promising. Wish he had more of that speckly silvery skin as opposed to what looks like flat gray. But the sculpt itself is quite nice.

I’m wondering if the speckly silver skin IS actually still there (it looks like it might be if you zoom in), but the lighting in this pic is a bit flat and not allowing it to shine, perhaps.

 

[Mike86]

Sculpt is very solid. I’m curious about the paint in hand too. Wondering if it’s subtle and doesn’t translate to pictures well.

Would a little dab of chrome paint around the irises suffice to get the movie effect?

I’m wondering about some of the swirly metallic blue paint they sell at craft stores, maybe with some silver mixed in.

Probably closer to silver? Unless you repainted / dyed the whole figure to have more vibrant colors.

Some red/pink wash around the eyelids could help too.

Here’s a quick edit I made this morning based on some of the more “vibrant” screencaps in the movie.

Alternatively, with squintier eyes like Arnold has often:
