Official 12" Hot Toys Superman returns Image Thread!

Well said. I'm pleasantly surprised to see this.

They did a panel for Superman Returns at WonderCon years back and douchebags actually boo'd him when Singer announced him. Didn't get it then and don't get it now. He put a hell of a lot of work into studying Reeve's Superman (as Spacey did for Hackman's Luthor too) for Returns and it really showed. It wasn't a perfect movie by any means, but it was fun and a great bookend to the Reeve saga.

Using the muscle body improves it no end as you see above.

Yup. I regret selling mine back in the day but I had absolutely no idea HT would be releasing the TTA which really makes it pop.

Gave me chills when I watched the airplane scene and he was talking to the passengers. There was more about the movie that I liked rather than disliked and Routh should have continued as Supes in a better film IMHO.

the airplane scene was badass

I considered trimming this way but I was concerned it would expose too much of the neck post. Any chance you could post another pic or two showing exactly what it looks like in that area?

Cheers.

this is the best sideshot I have right now

I can take more but it won't be for another week. I only took these pics while I was at home for Labor Day weekend. I don't take my collection with me to school

BUT I will say that I cut a bit too high. I'd leave at least a 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch below his earlobe. It really wasn't that hard to do. I just looked at how it was cut on my HT T-800 and HT Wolverine and tried to cust it in a similar way. It definitely looks a lot better in hand.

That's great thanks. No need for any more photos. If I decide to trim I'll take your advice and leave a bit more there.

I really wished there was a better SUperman Returns figure made. Back then neither Medicom nor Hot Toys were able to deliver a good Superman Returns figure that have a good Brandon Routh likeliness. At least Takara made a decent Batman Begins figure with a Bruce Wayne head.

We actually agree on something Nam.

To me, Routh will always be Superman*. He earned it. Especially after all the crap he's had to put up with from fans.

*For the record, Reeve is my favorite -bar none. But Routh earned the title.

Agreed, Roth was the main reason why I enjoyed the movie. I thought he gave a lot of the heart to the character.

is it just me or do you also see a likeness between Henry Cavill and the 2in1 headsculpt? I have a feeling this going to be the best Supes; Goyer and Nolan's story with Snyder's eye candy.

Okay so the idea Lois and Clark had a child wasn't the best for Superman Returns.

Still liked Brandon's performance and was pulling for him to have his option exercised for a sequel.

 

[buzzybean]

Schumacher doing this one? Seriously, you guys really think this looks good? Are they gonna add the nipples? First Spidey and now this...

Dunno bout the suit but I like the look of Cavill.....in as heterosexual a way as possible...

Sorry I don't see it. They're both representations of Superman but apart from that I get no connection.

 

[ericvalenz]

It doesnt have to be perfect as in pigment per pigment, hair per hair. But look at it, the 2in1 is closer to Cavill than Routh. Theyre like 4 posts away from each other above. Scroll up and down til you see it.

How did you open the suit?
