1/6 Hot Toys BvS: Dawn of Justice - Superman

[Gipetto0812]

I was going through my parts bin and as an interesting find, I noticed that my spare first batch exclusive BvS superman suit had a pinker \S/ and more dull blue whereas my second batch regular BvS suit has much more rich colors. I also remember the second batch body not having as dark/tanned skintone as my first batch. Just something trivial I noticed while deciding which parts to sell in these tough times (I'm not selling these suits so don't ask please).

Are you selling the suits though?

Didn't really want to pick up a Superman, but do you guys think this is an easy fix?

Pretty easy. Just need to stick your finger over it and close one eye, works pretty well!

This thread is dead, any advise to repaint Superman?

There have been many people who have repainted several figure?s outfits. Tiny Mei does that a lot. Might want to reach out to him.

It’s easy to do. Take the suit off first, use multiple very thin coats (watered down) of dark blue paint (I mix black with navy blue), so it doesn’t gunk up the fabric. It requires patience as you need to let each coat pretty much dry before applying the next, but it’s easily done. I’ve done it 3 times now

Should I spend $250 just to get one for repairs?

Mine doesn't look as bad as the above maybe because its been displayed this whole time not sealed up(the brown shows up more in pics than in person)

Has anyone figured out what causes this? I dont own one, but I have 2 JL and 1 MoS. Nothing like his has happened to any of mine.

not sure I sold pretty much my entire HT collection last year with the exception of a few SW and Depp figures. I wouldn't buy it, but that's mostly b/c I was never entirely satisfied with HT capturing his physique accurately enough. This figure (and the JL for that matter) look off to me no matter how much work you put into them. They look nice enough, but not for me to own. Your mileage will vary. I know I'm in the minority.

I collect Batflecks and have ordered the Justice Mobile from Jazz Inc, I really want one as a companion piece tho. But it just doesn't justify to pay that amount to repair it imo.

Mine doesn't have any of that brown **** on the color and I've had him since he shipped in a detolf. I wonder if it has anything to do with direct sunlight or heat or the figure being exposed to more extreme elements playing a role in this. Do you guys live in extremely hot states like California, texas or florida with poor air conditioning or direct sunlight throughout the house especially the collection room?

It's the glue they use. Other figures have this issue too like the BR Joker 2.0 and Keaton tux.

To choose between this and JL? I prefer the BvS version.

nice Photo! and I totally agree, but it's personal flavor if you prefer bright comicbook blue.
Still JL version is flawed with wrong hair and wrong blue color. Hopefully They will correct it with Ver.2.0 or Snider version

It?s a fine figure, it?s just in my opinion, the suit isn?t accurate to its movie.
