Amazing Tony!

Judging from that dynamic pose with the cape would I be wrong to assume that this is a wired version of your cape?

Tony my wallet is ready!

That looks amazing Tony! When will you have these capes listed for sale?

It's a custom wire cape I made last night before sleep, after making it, lots of parts that needs to be worked on. I will not offer this wire version any time soon, it's no where near my standard..... Still have a lot to improve on. Sorry guys.....

Nice work Tony. Can't wait to see the final. Put me down for one when Thames are ready.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

do you guys think they'll let doomsday look similar to this if they were to put him in the new MOS movies?

I think DC is going to try to adapt all of their characters with the new 52 comic designs. Which makes sense. Doomsday, has not changed much, if at all. So I could imagine him looking like this.

Does any one know of any adverse effects from storing figures in cold storage? Like possibly below freezing? I'm sure it can't be good but does anyone have experience in this matter?

I've got most of my figs boxed in Rubbermaid bins in my outside shed but the last few days have been below freezing here. Just worried about my figs.

As long as they don't get wet, they should be ok. Just as long as you don't handle them right away when you bring them in as they may still be brittle from the cold.

Got the figure today.... Looks superb! The costume is just brilliantly replicated! And the head sculpt.. Speechless!

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

I wrote that I wouldn't change the stock cape but if you do sell a wired custom cape then I am in.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Not sure but I have the same concern and that is why my most valued figures remain inside.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Hey guys, so last night I decided to remove the under collar from my figure, and thanks to some excellent advice from Short Round, I was able to do it without having to cut or damage the suit AT ALL. You don't even have to cut the top collar. I don't think this has been touched on, if so my apologies.

First, after you've removed the sculpt and flipped over the cape to the front, you want to separate the suit from the under collar all around using something flat and dull that wont damage the suit (I used one side of a pair of tweasers).

Once the suit is separated from the lower collar all around, pull the suit down a tad at the back of the neck (it has plenty of elasticity) to expose the under collar and carefully snip the collar in the middle (see photo for snip location). This gives the collar a lot more 'play', and as long as the suit is detached from it, you can bend and maneuver one side at a time out from under the suit without damaging it.

You may find while working the collar out from under the suit that there are some attachment points you missed, just simply halt your progress, detach the point, and continue.

That's awesome Marf. Good to know.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Hey fellas, I'd be happy to post a pic of the figure as soon as I get home later tonight.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Superman has just arrived!

Amazing figure. It is extremely well executed in its simplicity, kudos to HT.

I just finished unboxing it and there's not much to say that hasn't been said already, so for now I'll just enjoy it!

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Sorry to ask guys but does anyone have a picture of Supes on the shorter foot pegs mod?

Thanks.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

Everyone should remember that all these figure have different amounts of glue. Marf's clearly had only a bit. I just did the same things as he did and it was glue like crazy! Tearing the suit will occur if yours has a lot of glue! I should be able to cover it up just fine though. We'll see soon. I'll post pics once I'm done.

Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

I'm really loving this figure, and I was VERY excited to put him together with my Reeve Supes! Threw in a little Alfred E. Neuman for giggles, and now I'm set, HA!

Thanks for the info. I just sent a payment for Tony's cape, so I will be messing with the collar very soon. Anything that lessens the damage the suit the better.
