1/6 Hot Toys BvS: Dawn of Justice - Superman

[olbertfrog]

Use the hairdryer on the suit where its streched.
Its Will go back to its initial position.

I finally know What i found wrong with the headsculpt, the nose is frigging big, i compared to mos and the form is the same but BVS is freaking big. Seriously thats a bit ridiculous.
Might look into resculpting the hair on my MOS headsculpt, give him BVS hairdo.

Seems its glued on the body or not? I'm scared have not done anything like that before. MOS sculpt is more handsome compared to BvS one. Technically BvS is higher level but MOS is still one of the best. I can live with stretched costume but what bugs me most is difference between eyes. When I buy something, figure,doll,statue or whatever I check eyes first. This is my nightmare.

Sideshow asked photos. this eye paint looks as bootleg. even my bootleg MOS head seems more accurate painted than those eyes. Seems fabric is really stretched if you looks texture.

looks at those irises, look at it ! totally different and out of any proportion. I know I'm acting like a mad but this really bugs me.The drama is that I can't send it back. I used forwarder company and sideshow knows about this. I signed documents. Box was also damaged ,shipper box was OK but Supes box has some damages .I can't sand it back and ask for another one. Its really expensive for me to send it back. I even payed for import extra 65$.

Suit is not glued.
Remove the headsculpt and warm the area.
And move futz it to yur liking.
Just dont stay too close, 2 inches.
Wont do any harm.

I understand how the eyes can drive u mad.
im parting my Supes because i didnt liked the neck cape area on mine (i also needed the body for a custom project).
Nothing major but it bugged me. I could only see it lol
I have the money to get another one from hk, asked the seller to send a picture before.
Just sell it and get another one from hk, yu can get it shipped for 245/250.
And never buy from sideshow again, hk is cheaper for european buyer and yu Will avoid taxes as they ship everything with low value.

I might be wrong but i think the eyes are all Looking like that... Ill Check mine.

thank you. I checked lots of other pictures and most eyes have same problem , if you'll check stock images it has even worse. MOS has flawless paint especially eyes. Yes nobody can see those but when you know that your figure is not perfect enough it really hurts lol . I don't have any $$$ for this moment I'm a student. Maybe I will end up to buy just Headsculpt for normal price . What you said about stretched material sounds real. I will try that. When I signed paper for Sideshow there was said that if the product has some issue they will send replacement part. I think this is a big issue with such a figure. Stretched material? OK, Damaged box? Ok. But those eyes are just a big flaw.Sideshow asked images and I sent. Customer service is kinda nice. Lets see the answer. I know it doesn't have any sense. but who knows. Thank you buddy for attention and kindness.

Awesome week with 6 figures arriving...here being two of my favs:

Re: Possible Hot Toys DC TV license?

Yo Jorge, I got you covered fam!









When I received my figures, Initially I had the same concerns as you. so I searched for some pics of cavill and I don't think you should feel too bad. It's JC hong trying to be accurate. Now this doesn't mean Henry has a case of the lazy eye. It's just the shape of his eyes that, at times gives the illusion he MIGHT have a fish bowl effect going on. From what I see, The innermost side of his eyes (on both the figure and actor) are what's giving that effect, they're long or wider than most eyes.

So don't fret my friend! I don't think it's a screw up. However, if these pics still don't convince you and if you want to sell your fig, that's up to you.

Hope that helps man. You're one of the cool ones here, so I figured I'd help you out. No need to worry bro!

It was on Netflix for a while. I watched it. It was interesting. I only knew about the movie from Kevin Smiths town hall tour. Watched a YouTube video of him talking about it and laughed my
A$$ off. It was called "the death of superman lives".

Edit: Sorry it was on demand on showtime. That's where I remember watching it. If you have a subscription you can watch it. Or through Amazon prime video.

Crap, I don't have demand on showtime. I wonder if there will be a blu Ray release.

And yeah, that's the vid that I watch again from time to time. So great.

Its so nice that someone writes such a long post for you. I'm Henry's fan from Tudors and yes, sometimes he has a lazy eye.But I have not idea if HT tried to capture it. You can see this even in BvS when he is cooking eggs and watching NEWS on TV. Its clearly visible. Original painted sculpt shares same as I can see. On his left eye as mine.My mother said I have problem in brain and figure looks flawless, she was in shock. Thank you I feel better now.You are amazing guys !

showtime is only part of the story
it was released originally on blu ray last year i think ,at the time and i don't know if it changed sine ,but you had to buy it from the filmmaker himself ,no third party sales ,cost me $50 with postage to the uk ,maybe some second hand copies around on ebay or amazon now ,
definitely worth the purchase ,i think it has 11 hours of extra content ,really entertaining

Congrats on receiving your figure. Sorry to hear though that you're not entirely pleased with it. I know you were really excited for it, so to be honest, I feared that once you did receive it, there would be something on it that you didn't like. I hoped that wouldn't be the case.

If you want my honest opinion though, I think your figure is fine. Though if there is something that bothers you, it doesn't hurt to contact SSC (as you did) and simply inquire about it. I can relate though with regards to the most minuscule of blemishes bothering you; especially when it's a figure that you really like and you essentially want it to be perfect in every aspect. Though honestly, I don't think I can say I've ever received a figure that was just utterly perfect in every way. Near perfect, yes. The key is to just not let it consume you.
