More Hot Toys Superman?

[Bigfoot-X]

I got my figures the other day... And they rock. Anyone who has the original V1 should get this one. I personally think it looks a lot like Routh, but looks more like Superman than Routh did himself.

Here are some quite pictures, I'll take more later.

The only bad news is, that straight out of the box I noticed the leg seam had unstitched itself. Annoying, but I figure I'll get that repair myself. Rather than deal with returns etc...

Congratulations mate! Your wait is over! Sorry to hear about the stitches.

Don't know if I mentioned this before or if anyone else has the same problems - just be on the look out for paint rub, especially on the fists of the figure against the clear plastic window.

I think there's a spot of paint of my Superman's left knuckle that came off. You can actually see lines of tan/skin coloured paint on the window of my box.

Man, it's been too long since I've seen any of your pictures, Edwint. You never fail to impress. The positions of the cape are just awesome! Great poses!

Quick question for anyone who has the 2 in 1 - how is it sealed? In the same way as Jor El with circular transparent stickers? Thanks!

That is the BRONZE TrueType (David Beckham) neck piece.

Honestly, I used the Bronze body for my Clark Kent and it's just fine considering that his collar covers up most of his neck anyways.

I got the M249 saw gunner body and the bronze neck and painted the neck part to more closly match the head. Worked fine, no need to kill yourself trying to find an asian or lighter skin tone neck piece

I'm not sure I understand this question because neither my Jor-El nor my V2 Superman had any circular transparent stickers. I am assuming you mean the same stickers that Sideshow use on their figure packaging, across the flaps. In which case my answers is No. The 2 in 1 isn't sealed in the same way Jor-El isn't.

Thanks for the reply - my Jor-El came with such stickers sealing the flaps.

I believe it varies as there are those who got them both WITH and WITHOUT.

I got a few Superman 2-in-1's and a Jor-El...yep, I'm a multiple figure collector.

1 of the Supermans I got had NO transparent stickers on it at all (I even double-checked the bottom and there was nothing) and there was no "residue" or anything to give evidence that the stickers had even been placed there. My other Supermans did in-fact have the stickers on them.

My Jor-El also came with NO stickers on it either.

thanks, fellas..

regarding how the box was sealed..i recall all my hot toys boxes do not have any of those cricular transparent stickers stuck across the openings at the top or bottom of the pacakage..

 

[creecher]

Same. I've never had any with stickers.

Thanks for the replies. What's the difference between the material on the V1 Superman suit and the V2 (2 in 1) suit? Should the V2 suit have little diamond shapes all over the material? If anyone has a comparison shot I'd be grateful.

Thanks. Now I'm really pissed. I bought a 2 in 1 HT Superman on ebay from the Orient, and when it arrived I realised that he's wearing the outfit from V.1!!! The seller has swapped them!

Last time I ever buy from a guy in China, no matter how good their feedback is.

Can you show us pics? I hadn't realized the difference was so obvious.

 

[Captain Britain]

I'll take some photos of my figure in daylight tomorrow (it's evening now in the UK). But you can see comparison photos in the link a couple of posts back, and to me it seems obvious - what do people who've got both figures say?

 

[pixletwin]

Can you give us a link to the auction? I would like to add them to my block list on ebay.

Pleasure - I've PM'd you with it as I'm not sure what ebay rules are about slating people in public.
