I hope they include at least one smiling face sculpt ... it's the essence of the character.

I dunno. HT very rarely do more than one sculpt these days. Every time they do something expressive like Harley or Doc Brown people flip out and say it limits posing. Don't be surprised if they go the safe route of a neutral expression.

well not bashing, just being realistic. I'm sure it will be a great figure but I'd be shocked if they included more than one sculpt and that usually means neutral.

That'd be too bad, but I think the suit would still go a long way in selling the figure...

Hot toys make him please, light up chest

I feel like a Shazam figure would jump the shark for HT.....


Sent from the inside of a giant slug in outer space.....

they already jumped the shark with figures of a talking rat and tree though

cant see how a built guy in a red and gold supersuit is any more outlandish than that

Wonder if they will develop a new body or use the HT Cavill body

Well I'd hope they'd develop a new body, as Shazam has a different silhouette and bulkiness.

I'd be fine with the Cavill body, as I don't want Captain Marvel to be shorter than Superman.

Maybe, but Shazam feel closer to Ace Ventura than GOTG to me....

ah i now see where your coming from could be

next trailer might give us a better idea of tone one way or the other, still i think the figure could still be great looking and have great shelf presence if done right ,depending on its facial expression ,as its doubtful we'll get 2 heads ,stupid movie or great movie

What does jump the shark mean?

Including zany and far-fetched events just for the sake of including them, usually indicating an overall decline in quality. References the time that the Fonz on water skis and still wearing his leather jacket jumped over a shark on Happy Days.

Quite the contrary. I feel like a colorful, comic accurate superhero might actually prove a lot of fun on a shelf. Between Captain Marvel, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman, it seems like DC are leaning more heavily into their books, at least designwise and it’s turning out pretty great, in my opinion.
