1/6 MMS152 - Superman: Superman Collectible Figure

Re: Hot Toys - MMS152 - Superman: 1/6th scale Superman Collectible Figure

Is that a muscle suit or did this guy really bulk up that big?! Holy cow. After seeing the Immortal trailer, I didn't think the guy would be able to fill out a Superman suit. Clearly, I was incorrect.

It's a muscle suit. Don't matter to me though, as long as it looks natural on screen.

And yeah that painted picture of the new Arnie sculpt shows how good it is.

Amazing!

When it comes to CR's sculpt aside from BL, Arnie's the man for the job!

Arnie Kim just posted this on Facebook:

Looks a lot better than the one on the HT figure to me. Hopefully they'll change it still

Woah. :eek

His style works incredibly well for some material, but not for others. The Batman movies make me think of the 60's show with a different color template. It's borderline comedy and I can't stand it. Keaton and Nicholson are the best things about it, but they're still trapped in that world. It's limiting.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Schumacher.

No. It seems it is a personal sculpt of his (Arnie Kim)

I like the prototype expression infinitely more than the 1:4 scale, but the likeness on the new one is flawless.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Schumacher.

I don't think either director took the material seriously.

Chin looks a bit exaggerated on the 1/4 sculpt, but it's a very fine piece of work indeed.

How pissed is HT going to be over Arnie posting that? Unless the final sculpt is really improved, Arnie has just damaged the perception of this figure.

This would be like an actor apologizing for a film about to come out and saying "My next movie will be much better". Even if it's a good movie the actor has still affected the way it will be viewed.

Arnie Kim's sculpt has no articulation and does not need to conform to the needs of a poseable figure. It also is a larger scale. He's also done photoshop work on the final image.

Last I heard Arnie said the HT sculpt was "perfect".

What does that mean? He could mean he feels it's perfect and doesn't care what anyone thinks.

He said, "Hot Toy is perfect."

You know precisely what he meant Mr. Pedantic.

Hes selling the 1/4 Bruce Lee bust for $5K.

I think he will be selling the 1/4 Supes bust for the same amount, if anyone is willing to pay that price

Superman isn't 100%, but at least I can see CR there. Still, this is really irritating.

Maybe when Indiana Jones is about to ship he'll post pics of a HFord sculpt worth owning.

I wonder if HT has learned from this?
