Let's put this into perspective for a moment and compare it with the other 1/3 Reeve Superman that was made available to us a few years ago. I personally think that this will be a stunning display piece and I will be amazed if anything is released in the future that will surpass this.
Yes, I find it very frustrating when I see these products lit so poorly and with filters. JND are all about hyper-realism, but their photo and video style doesn't showcase the products in a flattering way at all. Give me a naturally lit, how it will look in person photo any day of the week!
My buddy sent me this photo which apparently was posted on facebook, so at least it looks like we will be seeing some better quality, colour balanced images. THIS is what JND should be putting out there to showcase the new portrait if they want to show it at it's best. The video lighting is...
That's a bit harsh Chopper Face. This is by far the best Reeve likeness produced by any company at any scale in my opinion. Do a side by side with the Sideshow Premium format(s), Hot Toys or Cinemaquette to see what I mean.
It's amazing how we all see these things so differently. As someone who has pre-ordered the dual version, I am over the moon with the new images and am not in need of any counselling. LOL. It will be nice to see the official photos of the updated sculpt (presumably tomorrow when the pre-order...
This looks superb to me. Costume colour looks VERY accurate to the original fabric. Can't wait to see the official re-launch photos, but I'm VERY happy with this so far.

Get ready for this. Daniel just announced on the JND Studios Youtube update video #25 that the Reeve Superman portrait has undergone some "Significant changes" and they are doing a mini product "re-launch" next week to showcase it and let people on the wait list (or new customers) have a chance...
Do you mean the ball of blu tack to raise the head up a bit? I need to swap the bag over with the Hasbro version too as the SH version's strap is too short so the top of the bag sits too high above his belt.
Here's a better, natural daylight photo.
Few more photos. The close-up photo of the holster in hand is the most representative of the actual colour that it appears in person. Not sure why my camera changes the colour tone when I photographed the little mock-up costume display with all the different parts.
