Re: Hot Toys - MMS152 - Superman: 1/6th scale Superman Collectible Figure
Likeness is 100% on. Fact.
Likeness is 100% on. Fact.
Wow, I missed these. This figures looks so damn good.
It's important to me because I wanted this to be in the 100% nailed it likeness camp as Hot Toys has achieved many times, because this movie character is as important to me as few others...
Figures where Hot Toys nailed it and NO ONE can say they don't look dead-on like the actor:
I missed those too... damn impressive looking
I feel bad for people who dropped 2K on the Cinemaquette statue
It's important to me because I wanted this to be in the 100% nailed it likeness camp as Hot Toys has achieved many times, because this movie character is as important to me as few others. The problem here isn't squinting. The squinting pictures of Reeve don't match this figure either, and the eyes on the figure don't look like they were molded to look like they were squinting since the rest of the facial features don't jive with a squinting look. And you can't find Reeve giving any expression that matches this figure. Any pictures of Reeve squinting seem even further off the mark from this.
For comparison's sake, I assembled some review links showing Hot Toys likenesses that nailed it 100% below and ones that missed the mark (I left out the just decent ones). I'm still trying to decide if this Reeve missed the mark or is at least passable. Not saying the ones that miss the mark aren't still better than what other companies put out, but this discussion is just about comparing Hot Toys to the bar they set for themselves. Usually the flubs, as with Reeve's, are because they have that White-Asian look around their eyes (a la Jennifer Tilly or Keanu Reeves, people who are half-Asian often have a distinct look to their eyes different from whites or asians). What's unfortunate is so many of their recent figures have been nailing it and most of the flubs are in the past. So this Reeve is a big step back.

Nice try.
Maybe you and JediJones should get a loveshack where you can cry about the inaccurate head together? JLR can hide in the closet and watch.
I can easily say a lot of these aren't even close to nailing a likeness.
It's not a try its a fact. Your like yeah yeah from the Sandlot.
