Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Can someone put me down for a cup of warm milk and a half eaten Custard Cream biscuit?

I also like the scene where it shows SM flying faster than a speeding bullet, on top of the museum. And the subtle little character reaction by Brandon Routh after SM is 'shot' in the eye.

Listen folks, given the times they were made, these are all defining Superman movies....

The Reeve movies gave a believable Superman and it was a film with its heart in the right place, with FX work indicative of its time, and with declining quality as the series progressed (even as a fan of them, this cannot be denied).

Bryan Singer gave us a complex character study of how a godlike figure tries to fit back into a society that has moved on without him. This was the first film that had the potential to really show what Superman could on film, but was bogged down with its overly emotional story telling.

Man Of Steel was the first film to fully show the world that Superman on film can be a totally bad arse BOSS of a character, and presented the kind of action that we'd been waiting for since Chris Reeve put on the costume in the 70s. And as I said before, it only needs a few, a very few, little tweaks to the sequel to make it a brilliant SM movie that will please the unquestionably vast majority, which this one clearly has not.

But it's not far off. I guess the thing that you can universally say about the filmed versions of Superman is...that they are all good in certain ways, but they are certainly all flawed.

I hope this figure won't be delayed until 2015 like the amazing spider man.

Put me down for a round of brandy and cigars as well. Superman Returns was what all four Chris Reeve superman films wished they could do. Just my opinion of course. I have a hard time sitting through the originals. Talk about boring. Let alone the effects. I realize they were decent at the time but the only reason I actually watch them now is for the sake of nostalgia. And I saw them when they originally came out! I thought he WAS superman.

I still say there is no better scene that depicts the American icon better with apple pie in my eye dreams than the airplane catching scene. Talk about fist pumping during a movie. And I'm not speaking of the same fist pumping I do when Jennifer Anniston walks onto a screen.

Can anyone think of a better scene, in any of the superman movies, that truly defines the character of superman while performing an amazing feat of courage, strength, and morality?

I don't think so.

I'd say that the actors you are referring to are Brandon Routh, and Christopher Reeve.

George Reeves played Superman on TV, not in the 70s movies.
 
Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Reeves was a little thick.

Well no wonder! Lol. Watching anything after MOS would be hard to get into. Hell I watched avengers after man of steel and IT seemed boring. And I loved that movie.

Then you're the one that's up late.

GO TO BED.
 
Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

It looks good Barry. Possibly better than the HT we have seen so far, but that's still at proto stage so a side by side comparison (when painted) is called for. At $54, I suppose that's pretty good for a hot item like a MoS custom Henry Cavill head.

I suppose if you bought it, you could use either the original HT head or this one for a Clark Kent bash...saving the better of the two for the Superman figure.

I've ordered a couple and know a guy in HK that is great at painting. So mine will be going to him when they arrive.
I'll be using mine for Clark customs. I have four of the HT MOS on order anyway.
 
Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

hey, on the Facebook page, they mention the name Toria. Any idea if it's our member Toria? Any idea where they are based?
