I have not seen any of the reeve superman figures in hand. The photos all make it look great though. I really like my MOS superman so I have been keeping an eye out for a good deal on this and maybe a returns superman. Any common issues with these I should watch for?

Sometimes there can be a pull or run in the suit if someone with ratty nails handled the figure. But even then, it's not a serious issue. Also, the forearm parts tend to pop apart at the wrist, making the pegs slack. A bit blu tack can sort it, or some tape around the peg. Also, the S shield can start peeling off in certain cases. But once again, not in all cases.
And as for the Returns figures, as they came out in 2006/2007, they are from an older era of HT figures, and they look more doll-like than the Reeve Superman and MOS figures. Well worth getting for a completist though.

Hey Bar, which figure is that in the back left? Custom or 2-in-1?

Normal 2-in-1

Thanks! I gotta find one of those for a reasonable price. Wish I was collecting when it came out.

Yeah. I picked mine up a couple of years back. Even the headsculpt costs a fortune.
Last three i bought cost over $100 each.

Have you modded an Bar? How easily does the suit come off to do a body swap?

Others have. The suit is expertly sewn onto the body. I don't even want to try it. Even though it would benefit from a body swap and Routh was massive for the role.
Here's one:

Any chance you could do a side-by-side...by-side picture with the 2-in-1, Reeve, and MoS?

Totally. But it will have to wait till tomorrow. Most of my HT figures are on a shelf at work.

No worries my friend. Sorry about the delay. Work was mad busy. Spent the last hour changing tyres, lol.
Here is a comparison of the Supes figures i had handy. I only included the custom at the end because it's on a TTM20, as a size comparison.

Thanks Barry. It looks like a kid compared to the Reeve and Cavill figures. Thanks for the comparison!

I know. It's a shame as Routh was huge for the role. Back before HT spent money making bespoke bodies for figures.

I think I'd actually forgotten that I used to own that Routh Superman figure. The 2-in-1 version and a separate Clark Kent figure.

It will likely never happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing HT do another Routh Superman figure. The one they did is just awful compared to the quality they've been able to put out in the past few years.

Yes, you're not wrong. Look how skinny he is and that suit just looks awful. I really don't like the design of that suit anyway. The Symbol is just far too small.
