Superman line from Mattel

Re: 1/6 Superman line from Mattel?

Thanks for posting that. The boots actually looks pretty good. It can easily be tightened up. The only thing is how the back is closed up. Should have used a zipper and the underwear cut looks horrible. It may be hidden by a cape but quality should be all over a piece, even if it's going to be hidden.
Will get two and one Zod.

Great pics, just shows how bad the original photography was. I have the same vibe now about this as the Zod figure. This is gonna be good fun to repaint, the likeness is definetly there.

The head sculpt is pathetic. I don't think a repaint can save it.

Could you personally do better? Or are you just been negative of negativity's sake?
It is a $60 figure and has a decent resemblance to Reeve. A repaint could do a great deal to help bring out the likeness.

Expect every HT pole squatter on the planet to swing by and dis the figure out of "little peepee" syndrome.

Inaccurate!

There's a real woman sitting on the couch in the picture on the left. Aside from walking in on their mom showering, I doubt most of them have even seen a quim in person.

Re: 1/6 Superman line from Mattel?

I'd say one more hour. Just assuming the Mattycollector business opens at 9am like most jobs here in the states. It's just 8:20am here. I'm waiting too!

I can't order b/c there's too much traffic on the site and it just keeps taking me to another "waiting room" page that refreshes every 5 seconds!!! Noooooooo!!!!

Re: 1/6 Superman line from Mattel?

Happens every time. It's the MOTU collectors (for the most part) crowding the system.

Don't worry. It's a safe bet that Supes and Zod will be available for a day or so (at least).
