SSC Superman 1/6th Scale figure

[cr0w]

That's why the exclusive is still available....

Yeah, cause what's supposed to look like oblique muscles don't literally look like ribs popping out of the costume in that pic...

I'm not denying that. Far from it. The obliques do look odd and the waist/midsection of the body is still too skinny for Superman.

However, what I am saying is that a lot of the problems with the figure, especially if you're basing your opinion off of peoples' pictures of it, stem from people's complete inability or unwillingness to spend time posing and adjusting the figure and its outfit.

I would respond to this but your statement speaks for itself one in which you have inserted your own foot in your mouth and you haven't even realized it. It is people like you that just says whatever flies into there head and then clearly thinks that is an educated opinion to give your attack validity. It was meant as a dig nothing more but like A$$$ holes everyone has an opinion. See i understood some of what people said as valid opinion of critique, yours and those like yours are only along for the discussion panel that has no place in freaks or any forum. your like a trickster only in place to create chaos. The mod's here can't keep any of you in check because freaks is infested by them. Other forums have useful feedback where as this board is becoming a joke because it's more commentary than anything.

maybe my I phone may not represent the pics to show what i did very well because the photo's i posted don't look 100% what he looks like in person maybe that is like refraction and lens capture of subject. This is the last i will comment on this but if i were you I would seriously think if you actually have any validity than a talk show host or a movie critic in which you were not a member of the process of making of but only a mere spectator.

most of the feedback i got was dislike of the True type in question and it's application. Does mine have alot of muscle in certain area's Maybe but it is how i wanted him to appear, was the photo's a good representation of my work, No it wasn't because the camera can't capture how he looks in hand.However He does not look like a fat woman, that was something to put out there to see if anyone would agree with you for a chuckle, which is no different that being a bully. What i find sad is that you try to rationalize your tactics to appear something your not and that's diplomatic. Your a heckler pure and simple

Well, I'll just recommend you to read Username's words again.
And if you think I'm a bully, then it's just your negative mind playing tricks on you.
You will be defensive, that's your type, and as I said before in my comments, it will be like talking to a wall.

I will just let people here read our arguments and let them with their opinions.
You have yours, and I have mine, I think anatomically, your modified Supes looks like a fat lady, and I still think it is.
If I wanted to attack you, I'd say it looks like a hippo, but I didn't want to, and it's never my intention to do so.
I am making a fair comparison to another type of human anatomy. It looks fat, and it looks feminine.
It looks like a fat lady (the body).

You can say that it's your photos/phones/camera's fault, but what I see is what appear in this thread,
your posted pic, and I made my opinion from what I see.
I can't make any opinion based on what I can't see,
and I never forced you to change anything. Just saying what I had in mind,
my personal opinion.

I am a comic artist/penciller, not a heckler, I draw human (and mutants) anatomy, on many pages,
and I can have my own opinion.

If you can only look at a figure/or pose it in a certain way for it to look good, then something is wrong with the figure. The proportionality(head to body rational), Batman being larger then Superman(the only time I've seen this is in flashpoint--and Superman is malnourished.), and single elbow joints are the main issues for me. But the line shows huge promise--look at Batman.

Snyder said he's doing that with the DC universe they're setting up. I think he said his viewpoint was that of course Batman would be bigger because he needs to be physically imposing to instill fear and he needs to be so strong to hang with all the super villains whereas Superman can look like a string bean and still possess the same strength, (I think I bastardized the quote).

Are you referring to Snyder the director of Man of steel? If so, what does that have to do with this line? I don't believe these lines are related. This excuse sounds more of a rationalization. Snyder is not making these figures. Ben Affleck body looks nothing like the sideshow batman's body, nor does Henry Cahill's body resemble this Superman's body.

If you go back and read it again, it's a post along the lines of "This situation is the same as..."
It never implies Snyder is in a back room doing the SS DC line.

No, that's not what it says. Snyder maybe bond by constraints such as who's the best fit for a role. Lets not confuse the issues.

No. It totally says what i said it does. It's right there. One member states that Sideshow Batman is bigger than Superman. The other member posts that Snyder was quoted saying that Superman's powers don't come from muscles or the size of him.
I have re-read it twice to make sure i am not confusing the intent.
I don't think i am, but will happily apologise if i have gotten it wrong.

I was responding to what hockeyflow33 wrote which was,

" Snyder said he's doing that with the DC universe they're setting up. I think he said his viewpoint was that of course Batman would be bigger because he needs to be physically imposing to instill fear and he needs to be so strong to hang with all the super villains whereas Superman can look like a string bean and still possess the same strength, (I think I bastardized the quote).".

That's what I was responding to. Again, this has nothing to do with Snyder, or his choice.

Look at the Mezco 1/12 figure, right out of the box, crappy posing and even crappy video quality and looks 10000 times better than the SSC one.

I'm not sure why this offended you, I was just offering a bit of information about someone else associated with the DC universe that presented Batman as being bigger than Superman and their reasoning behind this.

Maybe I missed what I wrote but can you show me where I said the movie universe was in any way connected with this figure line.

Do you have images of the figure that you can post?

No, I'm not offended by your commit. Batman is well conditioned and in great shape he may even be more defined then Superman, but Superman is taller with broader shoulder. Do you have to work out to have broader shoulders--no you could be born with those genetics.

"Maybe I missed what I wrote but can you show me where I said the movie universe was in any way connected with this figure line."

You did, by posting this you implied that the reasoning for doing so maybe the same, and in that way they are related.

Of the Mezco one? There's a thread for it, there's several videos, pics and stuff from TF2015

I kid you not, there's a video shot in 240p with awkward posing and looks miles better than the SSC Batman, now in the actual review by Toy Pizza it looks amazing.

I had it on Po, but cancelled it--just re-Po.

Wise choice I just POd 2 black/grey, thinking about getting another one, a light blue.

I'm with you. this figure almost demands that i order another to keep another moc. its just THAT good.

just cannot decide which one. I'm thinking the mezco ex. there is no way i can't bust open the blue/grey yellow oval version....

meanwhile back at the regular SSC superman thread....

 

[Sardo Numspa]

Can't really agree with that. It seems like the general consensus is that the SSC Batman is one of their best figures. Obviously, you weren't comparing Superman, because Mezco hasn't previewed their Superman.
That comparison doesn't make a whole lot of sense because:
a) Mezco is 1:12. It's much easier to make a smaller figure look good, because there is less detail required
b) Obviously, Mezco is a Dark Knight Returns figure. If you like the DKR look, then sure, you will like the look better. If not, then no.

Personally, I think the Mezco figures look great.... but 1000 times better? That's a ridiculous exaggeration...

 

[GasparZizou]

a) Mezco is 1:12. It's much easier to make a smaller figure look good, because there is less detail required

That is not true at all though, it's much harder to make a 1:12 mixed media figure look good, because with the slightest imperfection in tailoring they end up looking like MEGOs, plus it's way harder to find textures that don't make them look like dolls, and materials that drape over the figure naturally without puffing up because the figure is smaller.

And since everything is done with digital sculpting now, I'd doubt that they actually have less detail.

It's much more impressive considering the ONE12 looks way better than ANY 1/6 TDKReturns Batman I've seen (not counting Elvis' customs ), and IMO it does looks better than the SSC.

b) Obviously, Mezco is a Dark Knight Returns figure. If you like the DKR look, then sure, you will like the look better. If not, then no.

Well I like most Batman looks, and I liked the look of the prototype of the SSC one, but sure as hell the Mezco came out looking better than SSC's end product.

Personally, I think the Mezco figures look great.... but 1000 times better? That's a ridiculous exaggeration...

What? I was going for total serious accuracy with that statement, in fact, being a bit more precise I'd say it looks over 9000 times better.

Superman and Batman are defined by the artist drawing them, it's why the characters have changed over the years.

I posted that there was no connection between the two specifically because you tried to add words and a wrong conclusion to my previous post.
