1/6 MMS152 - Superman: Superman Collectible Figure

[dw316]

Nice! I've had mine in a flight pose forever because it took so long to pose that cape and I don't ever want to change it

Thanks...for realism - it's all in the positioning of the hands. The rest is making the figure look like it's holding real mass in the right places (straightening the legs & locking the knees as one would do in this pose). Stand in front of a mirror and perform the pose you're looking at accomplishing & it's amazing all the little detsils you can nail to sell the pose.

One of Hot Toys most poseable figures ever. Whether standing, hovering or flying this figure always looks good.

Thanks for the advice, its always the position of the hands that bugs me. That and the sleeves seem to ride up and expose the wrist joints.

With a little bit of twisting and gentle tugging it's amazing how long those sleeves can get.

Nice flight pose...Unlike most I've seen it allows the entire figure to be seen from the front.

The SS Superman PF is friggin huge.

That's a great setup with the crystals, and the replica is awesome!

A guy on the Replica Prop Forum made it for me. It looks amazing in person.

Nice shot. V!

Guys. I FINALLY got a good deal on a CR Ex brand new and sealed to replace my CR Ex ( which I had to sell years ago). Always loved this fig, so happy to have it back in my new collection. Being shipped now, should get it just before Xmas.

Don't know if this has already been posted, but I wanted to post this AMAZING photo essay I found on youtube. Check it out!

Just a pic of what I feel is my best CR pose yet.

Thanks. Yeah, there's some amazing poses in that vid, some of the best I've ever seen.

Had mine for awhile and I really love it.... except for the damn cape. No matter how much I futz with the wiring, it just never really looks that good to me, and I'm at the point where I wish it could just hang naturally off his back instead.

I was thinking about pulling the wiring out, but given the cheap material they used for the cape (which basically feels like what was used on the old Mego action figures) I'm not sure it would really make much difference. So maybe attaching a whole new cape instead is the answer? I'm getting to the point where I really want to try something to fix this.

You may want to look into the SSC Supes, they have 2 capes ( both with wiring) but one of them just sort of drapes down. You can check them out in the video review in that thread.

Just need the patience. That's why I self-proclaimed myself master-of-cape-futzing I was one of the few who can get the stock Batman capes to drape nicely, just gotta have the determination dominishin knows what I mean If you lived near me, I'd be happy to help you out.
