Yup, my sentiments exactly. Hot Toys are probably best qualified to pull it off, but the likeness would have to be better than their Routh effort.McHaleyArt said:If a company would approach it tactfully and with the idea that some of the profits would go the the Christopher Reeve Foundation....that would be an excellent idea.
Darklord Dave said:Zero. Even if Chris's trust would allow it, I doubt Warner Bros. would. For the same reason we'll never see an authorized Keaton Batman - they don't want people to be using old properties when there is something newer out that they'd rather promote such as Superman REturns (and it's sequel) and the Nolan Batman franchise.

Darklord Dave said:I truly and dearly hope I'm wrong - I have some pretty great customs of both, but I'd love to see a Reeve and Keaton 1/6. Given the recent Lynda Carter WW, I guess it's more possible than it has been in the past - but then there's no active WW franchise to compete right now either.
Here's an idea - everyone go out and buy one of Reeve's little medals to support his foundation - and then we send them to Warner Bros. to try and convince them to give HT (or Takara) the license to do a Reeve Superman. It worked with nuts and Jericho...
Actually it isn't... and it's the sort of tactic that could create press....figuremasterles said:That's not a bad idea Dave!
I grew up watching the old superman movies with Reeve,if Hot Toys ever made one with Reeve`s likeness this would be my ultimate Figure,nothing is even close to a Reeve Superman figure.
As good as the Superman Returns figure from Hot Toys look,i wouldnt be fully satisfied with it,it must be a Reeve for me to buy any superman figure.
yeah too bad the DC Direct statues are so small.
It could happen but I think odds would be that DC Direct would do it instead of HT.
They might do a good statue tho' as the Linda Carter one isn't bad (smaller than I thought it would be).
