Official 12" Hot Toys Superman returns Image Thread!

Yes. The belt is glued but does have a tab to hook it. Once your done you'll want to glue it back. If the suit is separated already that's half the battle. Mine was still sewn in one piece. The shorts are sewn to the crotch between the legs but everything else was one suit.

I was very surprised to find it all one piece...
But it has to have been separate top and bottoms and sewed together afterwards.
I shall post images when i get around to tackling it.

As I've said before, I'm not a big fan of this figure, But I have to say that these pics actually look pretty good. Even the "Before" pic looks pretty good. Id almost consider getting this figure based on these pics.... Almost.

I love that headsculpt.
I have the original and the 2-in-1 and although i think the original *seems* to look more like Routh, there are angles that the 2-in-1 head is a dead ringer.
My detolf is right next to me at my desk here, and SR is on the top shelf. From the angle i can see him from here, it's spot on for Routh.
I have an idea for a couple of customs of this figure. I have two of the 2-in-1 heads on the way from China right now. I am looking forward to getting them in hand to get started.

Gipetto I like the way you pose your figure.

Username look forwards to your custom SRs.

Darrel, thank you for the comments.
I hope there's be a re-issue or better version of SR to enthusiastic you to own this figure.

I also have both the first and the 2 in 1 and though I prefer the outfit on the 2 in 1, I've never seen the likeness of Routh in it. The first edition is WAYYY better!

Wow this thread was hard to find. Just want to give people a heads up that am selling my Hot Toys Superman Returns 2 in 1 figure here on the forums, check the link out:

Been working on a a bit of a bash in the last few days.
I managed to pick up a couple of spare 2-in-1 heads from a seller in China, got a TTM19 body from a seller here, also picked up a "slightly damaged" Reeve suit here on the forums(A couple of suit runs, plus a cut on the shoulder, which i repaired), loose boots, Pants from an Ebay seller, and a pair of "bruce Lee fists".
Not counting the heads which i had ordered anyway for another project, the body/suit is about $90 worth of pieces.
Body is less muscular than the HT Reeve, but the arms are nicely a bit more bulky that the SR original body. I also added the beefed up thighs. I turned the belt around to smooth the lines and remove the buckle from view.
I am posting pics here because i view it as a stylised SR custom(How i personally would have liked the suit to have been in SR) rather than an altered Reeve version.

^love the flying poses man!

Are you going to try to get the head to sit lower on the neck? That's all I'd suggest.

Hard to find? It was on page 1. It was much harder to find about a week or 2 ago

Thanks.
I am using the neck peg from another figure, but it's about 5mm too long. I am going to make myself a new shorter one this week.

Nice version user. Great work. I really like it. Your pics are cool too. Keep them coming.

Thanks. I am trying to come up with some kind of a boom arm i can use to hoist the Superman figures up so i can do outside flying shots then edit the boom out.
For now, Superman is standing at the back of my Heroes shelf.

Nice supergirl. Where did you get the head?

It's just the Hot Toys Caucasian Female Truetype head. I picked up a few from a seller in Canada. Pic of one below. I think it's the same face they used for Machiko.
I just re-did her hairstyle.
The trick with Hot Toys figures with hair is to boil the kettle, and fill up a cup. Attach the head to a pen and dunk the hair in the boiling water. The hair will become more pliant and can be styled almost any way you want. then just sit it on the figure and either let it air dry, or blow dry it(I prefer air drying, next to my computer fan exhaust grill).
I did the same with Babydoll to get her pigtails to sit on her shoulders correctly.
And as for Supergirl's costume, it's just the DC Direct 13" SR suit on her(Once again, boiling water is your friend. I shrunk the suit down a little buy immersing it in boiling water a few times), with a pair of HT SR boots. My Brother says it's "totally non-canon" to have her in a Superman costume, but i think it looks nice. And i like the big long cape. I can send you more pics if you want.
I have a line on a more suitable costume on Ebay. Waiting for it to end so i can snipe in at the past minute.

those are some super lips

Indeed.
My one seems more "frowny" than others, but i do like the look on her face.

Looks very good, only problem with this is the neck - too long - is there anything you can do about that?

Here are a few of my options I was throwing around.
