I asked about this line on the SSC Facebook page- and they kinda sorta told me not to ask about it.

Apart from the hs, it looks fugly.

 

[Alainator]

looks like a beat down used car salesman is wearing a oversize red dippers, bought it on sale, and wear a belt to keep in place.

 

[Hydeous]

It looks just like the proto

 

[King Darkness]

That's because it is the proto

I dont get why the sudden complaints though? Seems like folks like it when it was first shown.

 

[yongkykun]

What folks? Have just noticed this thread to be honest. And, I must agree with Alainator. This is not a well put together figure. Besides, if someone wants Superman in that costume, CR Superman's heaps better, innit?

Oooo....kay. Cool down boy. I was having a go at SS not you.

If you have a counterargument, you are more than welcome to share it with the rest of us.

 

[King Darkness]

Counter argument? To what exactly?

I'm curious how you know what you know about how this figure is put together. And also, could you provide some side by side shots with the CR Superman?

Thanks.

I largely base that on how the overall figure looks in terms of proportion.

Borrowing Robbie's pic to show how bad it looks (the same goes to the other figs in the line):

Compare it to:

Credit goes to Maglor.

Hope you can see why I said what I said earlier.

Have they made any of the changes they spoke about? Bigger S etc?

It's quite possible they did. Unfortunately SS decided to show us professional pictures of the unchanged prototypes

 

[Johnny Utah]

Jesus they really need to hire a boardie to speak up in their meetings.

Note that the posters say "Prototype pending final licensor approval." Which basically means that that is the final prototype ready for the production cycle once they have the green light from the licensor. Which is why any prototype that gets published onto media has always been the same or very close to the final product.

If it's in sculpey form, unpainted, etc. or the "final" bit wasn't there, you have a point.

Looks like a fantastic representation of classic comic book Superman to me.
