Re: Hot Toys-MMS 201-Jor-El 1/6th Scale Collectible figure
Really happy to see this revealed today, but there are a few nitpicks I have to get out of the way first:
#1. I think the headsculpt looks a little off. I feel it looks like Crowe at most angles but something seems slightly wrong. I think they are about 90 to 95% there. As others have said, if they tweak it great, if not then I am perfectly fine with it as is.
#2. I'm not sure I'm digging the base. It looks cool and all, but it's big and going to eat up a bunch of real estate on a shelf when displayed with Supes, even more so if Zod and Faora come with similar stands. Though if thery come with their own symbols on the stands then that would be pretty cool, just a nightmare in terms of space.
#3. No armour. I figured it wasn't going to, but having armor included here would have made the ultimate Man of Steel Jor-El. There would literally be no need for any more versions. I have to admit, if they bring out an armoured version down the line, I will be slightly miffed. more so because I would probably talk myself into getting it. At least the lack of accessories should keep the price down I guess.
Now, having gotten that out of the way, I am very happy about this figure, I really like it and will definitely be pre-ordering this guy when I come home from work tomorrow provided he is up at Sideshow. I really wish he came with the armour so I could have the option of how to display him, but truthfully, I'm more than fine with this version. Now, they just need to start teasing Zod and Faora.
