SSC Superman 1/6th Scale figure

[Sardo Numspa]

Also, it looks like the awkwardness in some of the posing has something to do with the articulation. Almost like the bicep swivel makes the arms look odd if rotated too little or too far...
Any case, thanks Col for the pics! Really makes me feel better about keeping my purchase!

Card charged.

Also, I found a new use for Red Snapper last night when shooting photos of Superman...

So Red Snapper became red background holder?

 

[Sardo Numspa]

Hilarious!

I got charged too! Nice!

It looks good on some angles, but up front is a killer. The big head, skinny legs, diaper.

I still love the heat vision sculpt.

 

[chewblacca]

Charged for the red and blue guy too!

Definitely an improvement! Not that anything can be done about it at this point...

But the headsculpt actually doesn't bother me much, as it is a comic-based version, so the exaggerated square jaw fits (in my opinion).

I just can't wait to see this on a Batman body. I have a feeling that'll really make this one shine. Those shorts though

 

[**16k**]

I've ordered a CR Supes pair of trunks off EBay to replace that monstrosity!

The shorts look like an easy fix, even with my extremely limited sewing skills.

Comparison photo to the prototype, I tried to duplicate the pose as best as I could. Main difference I see at all is the shorts.

Also if you look up close at the shorts, it looks to me like they sewed the top of the belt loops on the outside of the shorts instead of the inside. You can futz with them to minimize the red showing above the belt, but I couldn't get rid of it completely.

Based on what im seeing the loops were not placed in the right spot, So it looks like i will need to do some seam ripping and re-align and re stitch. then it should look like the picture. My main concern is belt is the belt removable?

 

[The Mike]

It might be one of those things where if they're parted out that you nab an extra and see if you could restitch them. I can sew but it looks godawful. It's more when I have to, not when I want to.
