Great photo's Auel. This is still one of my favourite figures

 

[Turtle882]

Yep, this one will never not be great.

The MMS152 is such a Superman II Reeve likeness.

Shame there’s no Terence Stamp Zod to go with him.

 

[Mr Walker]

Yeah, such a good figure. One of the few I really can't say "I think they could tweak that a bit".

By now most of them should already have neck problems. The inner plastic peg becomes brittle over time and simply cracks. If you don't want to replace it then just use white tacky putty. The blue one is too sticky and is smears easier.

So do you just put the tacky putty in the neck peg area and then just place the head on?

Having this same issue, but haven't seen a good image or tutorial on this method!

I hav e replaced the neck adapter. It’s an easy fix. But if you don’t want to go that route, place the putty in the cavity.

I would just get another neck adapter, just make sure you heat the neck adapter up with some hot water, I have had neck adapters break on me before, when trying to install.

I wish they'd reissue this STM figure, it would be so cool.

It’s top notch. It’s amazing that it’s held up so well in terms of relative quality of sculpt. They grand slammed this one

This figure still pops in the collection, mainly because of the brightly colored suit. Sculpt also still holds up imo, as the likeness is there for sure. I recently moved and had my collection boxed up for a few months, but am now gradually taking them back out and displaying. After reopening and reposing this figure, it’s the first one my eyes go to when looking at what I have back out and posed thus far.

If any HT figure needs a 2.0 it's this one. Even just using a more accurate material for the suit, emblem and better paint apps on the sculpt it would be worth it.

Amazing photo! Brings out the blue of the suit!
one of my very first hot toys and one of only 4 where the original figure still sits comfortably in sculpt with the updated heads these days…..
A grail in everyway

I personally don’t see any issue with the suit material. Also for a mass produced figure, I don’t see HT taking the time to stitch the S into the suit like it is on a lot of the custom suits for this figure that I’ve seen.

I always felt the material was too shiny but sadly I don't have the figure anymore.

Agreed. Suit was too shiny and the wrong shad of blue. The cape was also the wrong material. And lastly, he was just too short for Reeve

One of the first modern 1/6 I ever bought. And yes it still holds up remarkably well. I’ve got some extreme closeup photos of the head sculpt I have to find that really show off the paintwork.

Trying to emulate that amazing nighttime shot on the boat in the first film.

Sigh,.. this guy is really showing its aged on the shelf....
not in terms of design. but in terms of the material deterioration...

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

Where's the deterioration?
