Re: Hot Toys - MMS152 - Superman: 1/6th scale Superman Collectible Figure
I think you have your definitionof hyperbole not quite right. Hyperbole infers a gross exaggeration or misrepresentation. To say a head sculpt is 100% is neither of those things. It is also NOT a fact that no head sculpt can be 100% on. Is there a law of physics somewhere which decrees this to be so? You can argue that you are right, but you veer so far into issues of minutia that your point is moot anyway. If a tree falls in a forest with no one else around to hear, does it make a sound? Similarly if a person thinks a sculpt is 100% dead on, then for them it is.
You can't evangelize your opinion as fact when it, in fact, is not.
Where's Kara with his W R O N G picture when you need him.
Fact. No 1/6 scale sculpt can be 100%.
Opinion. That's an amazing Chris Reeve likeness.
Hyperbole. That Chris Reeve likeness is 100%.
You're using the exaggeration to emphasize your point of something that shouldn't be taken literally.
