For a quick comparison, here is the SS next to my repainted TOTS. Again I think they both have strong points. I'll probably end up switching them depending on the mood.

I know people will still debate the headsculpt but even if you have criticism, it's still very well done and has more detail than the TOTS piece (which I LOVE.). It's just different. The detail and slightly exaggerated proportions give it great shelf presence. And personally I love the...

Mine just arrived and to my relief and excitement. This is a VERY, VERY good set. Everything feels very high quality and so much attention to details. Hands are all expressive and wonderful. I cannot tell what the pumpkin and headstone are made from but they aren't cheap plastic. They have...

Overall, I'm pretty pleased but want to try again without stripping the paint. I don't know that it's neccesary and I might get a smoother look. That being said, the texture on the mask comes across really well in person. OH and the eyes aren't altered in anyway except I did a black wash other...

As I got happy with the layers of white, it finally achieved the "glowing" feel I was going for. I kept adding the small details like weathering, eyebrows, lips, etc.

Next I started layering on shaded of white. First a little off white and then eventually getting to pure white. All this was done with dry brushing to achieve a spray painted look.

Next I spray painted with primer. And started building up the color and paint layers. I dry brushed on flesh for the neck and blueish gray for the mask. I also started darkening/weathering the edges and the eyes.

Hi All, I have not posted in ages but got bored and inspired to repaint the TOTS 1/6 '78 Myers headsculpt. I had the SAMHAIN version so decided to strip all the orginal paint to get all the detail that was underneath and to make sure the blood drops were removed. In hindsight, I don't think I...

His work was legendary and such an inspiration. He will be missed.

Thanks Armymedic1980. Definitely appreciate the positivity! I do like being close and it makes shipping and returns super quick... Feeling optimistic and *knock wood* generally have good luck or great follow up with SS. Will post picks when he arrives!

My waitlist for the reg just converted! Fingers crossed!

Temporary home... still looking for a permanent home for him :)

Really enjoying this piece. One of the most satisfying SS pieces I've gotten in a while... feeling like Sideshow is really on a roll. All the stitching and mixed media works great... Light up features are a nice bonus and he makes an awesome stand alone piece. Trying to figure out the best...

Sideshow Customer support was terrific and sent along the following information. Hope it's useful for everyone. My Vader now works perfectly and looks fantastic. Sideshow's notes are below: For the batteries in the belt piece, the battery on the right (closest to the very edge of the belt...

Received my Vader and love it so far. Hope to post photos soon. For those who have gotten theirs, have you had any luck with the batteries that light up the belt and the chest piece? I've tried inserting them both ways with no luck. Everything else looks and works perfectly. Thanks!

Insane. Possibly Hot Toys most remarkable likeness to date? If not it's certainly close. This is an amazing piece.

Pan's Labyrinth is probably the biggest reason I like Del Toro. I think he can let his obsessions get the better of him in things like Hellboy, etc. Pan's Labyrinth is the reason I'm a fan. Just a great, dark, beautiful, powerful, magical movie.

Almost done reading the novelization myself. It's funny but when I was little all I wanted to do as a career was write movie novelizations. I thought it would be the best job! I ate up all the star wars books, Halloween, The Thing (and Who Goes There? The short story it was based on). When...

Totally. I think critics get fouled up when they try to consider what they think of what Superman should be vs. the questions the film is trying to pose. Ultimately, Clark chooses to "stand before the human race" proudly and does put himself in their hands. And best of all, he doesn't let...

Also interesting to consider that Gore Verbinski and Guillermo Del Toro were also considered for directing Man of Steel at one point and now they both have films out at about the same time.
