They'd look better without the metallic paint

Its like Super Ballet

They remind me of metallic Christmas ornaments.

Love the FM TDKR statue

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel Metallic statues (2013)

The metallic blue does not look good on Supes. Makes him look a little 'soft'

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel Metallic statues (2013)

I thought he was the Man of Steel...Steel is Metallic last I checked...LOL...It is a little different..

The metallic paint is the point of the collection itself, IMO. Hence the name, "Superman Metallic".

It's the theme that runs in this series of statues, in the same vein that Batman has the "Black & White" theme going for his collection.

Personally, I like how they look. Since they're supposed to be an ongoing series, just like the "Batman Black & White" is, then they are making them affordable, and easy to find. And they look shinny and pretty, so all is good.

I just picked up the Lee Bermejo, it is outstanding! It's the only one so far that looks better than the control art IMO!

The Bermejo one is amazing! I'll be getting all of them, but so far the Bermejo one is the best of the series.

I'm hoping this series does well, and it extends to as many artistic interpretations as the Batman series has had. I want statues based on art by Joe Shuster, Curt Swan, José Luis García Lopez, John Byrne, Jerry Ordway, Dan Jurgens, George Perez, Tom Grummett, Jon Bogdanove, Ed McGuinness, Doug Mankhe, Gary Frank, and Kenneth Rocafort... among others!

The McGuinness and Rocafort ones are new, the other is the Quitely one that was announced in 2012. It's tilted to the side. I think that they may not have introduced the stick properly.

The Ed McGuinness one looks so uninspired. An art-style like that would've looked better if the statue was posed dynamically, but just standing like that looks bad, IMO.

I need to see a frontal angle of the Rocafort one, but in that photo looks very good.

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel Metallic statues (2013)

I had hopes from this line, but after seeing what they have done with Quietly (and McGuinness) I don't think it has a bright future. Also, they look Asian now, not that I have an issue with that (am an Asian too), but they look funny.

Still like Bemejo's the Best.

Especially when you compare it to the McGuinness Batman from the Black & White line. This one is so static you might as well just buy the action figure. The figure even looks more like McGuinness' art.

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel Metallic statues (2013)

The McGuinness one is terrible, but I think that can be seen of the Rocafort one is great.

I'm looking forward to the statues based on more classic-syled artists, like Dan Jurgens, Tom Grummett, and George Perez. If done well, a John Byrne based one should look great, too.

The 2nd one is ok but they are fugly. The 1st one looks like he is Asian? The baby blue metallic color doesn't help either.
