Just saw the new official pics, and I have to say this is all kinds of awesome.
The likeness may not be 100% über-accurate, but damn it is so close to be almost irrelevant. I'm not the biggest fan of Superman or CR's interpretation, but it is an iconic character, a defining performance and one damn fine looking figure! Can't get any better than this.
Bravo Hot Toys!
I'm seriously considering getting multiples, or at least two.

One of the greatest figures ever made.

Pretty much sums it all up.

BEEFCAKE!!!! Great pic. I wonder what the Routh 2in1 figure would look like with a body like this.

Isn't best to have hobby that makes you happy?

Being happy shouldn't correlate with settling. I'm very happy in the hobby because I buy the things I like. If something can be improved, which it can, why wouldn't you want the best? Just so you can own it sooner? Like I said its good enough to own as is, but to say that it couldn't be improved (especially when the nose is such a defining charcteristic of Reeve and they didn't capture that) is just absurd. If they came out and said we can improve the sculpt I guarantee most here would just say give it to me now and I think that sucks as much as nam thinks I do.

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

Agreed.

Why, why would you do that? I didn't even bring it up.

Bet you end up buying a Batman and Joker kara. When you do, don't admit to it, because I'll hound you for it.

And yeah, if it is one per customer for this Superman, I'll find a way to circumvent the system. I'm getting more than one of this baby.

It's important to me because I wanted this to be in the 100% nailed it likeness camp as Hot Toys has achieved many times, because this movie character is as important to me as few others. The problem here isn't squinting. The squinting pictures of Reeve don't match this figure either, and the eyes on the figure don't look like they were molded to look like they were squinting since the rest of the facial features don't jive with a squinting look. And you can't find Reeve giving any expression that matches this figure. Any pictures of Reeve squinting seem even further off the mark from this.

For comparison's sake, I assembled some review links showing Hot Toys likenesses that nailed it 100% below and ones that missed the mark (I left out the just decent ones). I'm still trying to decide if this Reeve missed the mark or is at least passable. Not saying the ones that miss the mark aren't still better than what other companies put out, but this discussion is just about comparing Hot Toys to the bar they set for themselves. Usually the flubs, as with Reeve's, are because they have that White-Asian look around their eyes (a la Jennifer Tilly or Keanu Reeves, people who are half-Asian often have a distinct look to their eyes different from whites or asians). What's unfortunate is so many of their recent figures have been nailing it and most of the flubs are in the past. So this Reeve is a big step back.

You sure need a lot of attention. You just keep finding new ways to repeat yourself. OK we get it. You don't like it. Move on. No one cares.
