1/6 MMS152 - Superman: Superman Collectible Figure

Nice pics!

I still love this figure as well, one of the best sculpts HT has done in my opinion. For some reason though, the hand pegs slide out very easily of the sockets in the arms.

The forearms were bespoke items and aren't glued tightly together. If you slide the sleeves up, you can add a 5mm strip of vinyl tape around a bit and make the forearm tighter.

Ah, thanks for the tip!

I presume this is/was a common thing then?

Pretty much. At one point i had five of these and they all suffered from the loose wrist peg problem. I did that tape mod on them all.

That's good to know that it's not just mine then and is something pervasive. I may try that tape mod. The pegs aren't loose to the point where the hands just fall right out on their own due to the looser pegs, it's just simply very easy to slide them out.

Yeah. At first i tried tape around the peg, but that just forced the forearms further apart. So you have to go with tape to tighten the forearm pieces so the peg is tighter.

It's awesome that this figure still stands with the best now

The sculpt on this figure is amazing.

They can be a great people, Kal-El; they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way.

I think that it is Hot Toys's best figure to date (quality+likeness vs dollar spent).
This one put HT on the map for many collectors, me included.
It still is my favorite along with MoS's Superman, let's hope the next "S" is as good as these.

Indeed. Both figures are very impressive.

anyone know if this figure have neck issues? It seem the neck socket is cracking on mine.

 

[SilverStar17]

All seems fine with mine. The only "issue" is just the the wrist pegs fit loosely in the arm sockets, but I've been informed this was a common issue for this figure straight out of the box due to the type of body used.

found this pics on ebay from a seller.... this is the same issues with my neck.

That has happened to my Thor (first movie) figure as well.

I just got this bad boy brand new from Thailand for $300 (including shipping). What an awesome figure. All I need now is Gal WW and I'll have MY Holy Trinity which includes the Keaton Batman (Returns).

Would be great to have the old WW, from the tv-show. Then we could display the old trinity and the new trinity
