Spoiler:

Exactly, he was take out of a fishing ship, straight to save the world, what the hell did they wanted him to do?

I do find the part where he says "Krypton had it's chance", a little bothering, it was too cold hearted, I even felt a little sympathy for Zod.

Spoiler:

Yep that part bothered me a bit too. At that moment I was like "woah superman would never say something like that about Krypton." But like you said, it makes you feel sorry for Zod b/c that was his purpose, what he was bread to do, to protect Krypton and he basically failed them. Which is something I loved about Shannon's Zod. he had a purpose for what he was doing. He wasn't someone who was just evil to be evil, he was trying to fulfill his prupose

Lawful evil they call him.... It's amazing how this movie makes me want to get all the figures, specially Faora.

I love every second of screen time of her, such a character, evil, slightly twisted, sharing the purpose with Zod.

Please let that Arnold body be a placeholder, PLEASE!

Looking at those pics and the toyhunter display pics, not only is that a DX10 body, but they put the thigh enhancers one it as well from the looks. But since it seems that there is indeed a zipper at the back, that would be an easy remedy

Zod and Faora are musts no doubt about it! hopefully HT sees it that way too!

If this figure is selling out everywhere, I just don't see how that's NOT going to translate into HT seeing how they can milk the cash cows [us] all over again. They better get on that Movie Masterpiece/DX Zod ASAP.

Pictures by ON.CC are up.

That cape is the first thing I'm switching out. I don't know who's idea it was to give the cape the same pattern that Loki's cape has.

Went ahead and secured my pre-order. If it turns out the body is not going to fixed, I can at least decide whether to cancel or switch it to a better suited body.

Suspension of Dis-belief.

Has worked wonders since the start of making movies and comics.

Kate Beckinsale

She looks really young there, is that a recent picture or old one of her?

Finally, some better photos, Better photos to support my decision to definitely pass on this and wait for version 2.

Sorry guys, some of you can always convince yourself that there won't be another better version and that's perfectly fine if it makes you sleep better at night. And even if HT does make some tweaks before they mass produce this, the next version always tends to be better.

Also, a second version doesn't even depend on whether they will go on with a sequel or not. Look at the Dark Knight Joker DX, T-800, Robocop, Iron man Mark 3.

And if they ever go on with a sequel, why the hell would HT pass on making another superman figure for that. HT is not a new company. You should learn to understand it's business strategy by now.

Spoiler:

Maybe they left out the kneeling thing because Loki was so busy shouting at people to kneel last summer.... they may consider that statement overused.

oncc is notorious for bad photos.... mainly because everything they shoot is in magnified flash that makes everything look bad.

What reason is there to make a Version 2.0 for this? DX Joker, T-800 all have reasons to get another reason but this figure doesn't.

There is no "Battle Damage" version to be made. The only thing I can think of them doing is making one with a added sculpt but I highly doubt that since the overall figure will be the same. There's nothing to this figure to add, no battle damage, no extra accessory, no nothing other than a sculpt as I have mentioned.

Should they make another one with just a different sculpt, you can just pick up that sculpt on it's own. The next Superman figure I see happening is from the sequel.

Don't care how many they make, I'll buy them all

Overused due to both Loki and Terrance Stamp/ Smallville Zods

I want this and I pre ordered it the day it came up. I have no delusions what so ever that there will most likely be a better version somewhere down the line. Either the movie is successful enough for Hot Toys to bring out a DX or its successful enough that Man of Steel 2 is made and Hot Toys will make another Superman with a suit that is either the exact same or very similar to this one.
However, that is going to be 2 to 3 years away, at minimum, and still not guaranteed until Man of Steel is officially a success. I can't wait that long. I'm going to have a hard enough time waiting until early next year for a MOS Superman. Do I hope they tweak the body? Absolutely. If they don't tweak it, then this is still more than good enough for me.

The sequel is already underway and approved by the studio.

Re: Hot Toys MMS200 - Man of Steel: 1/6th scale Superman Collectible Figure

I'm pretty much just buying a Superman and (hopefully) Zod to hang out with all my Nolan Bats figs. So unless they do something drastically better, this version works for me just fine.
