If you like Christopher Reeve, or Superman, or both, then this piece is for you. It is a definitive piece of the Reeve Superman.
The likeness of Reeve has definitely been captured in this piece. The odd thing is, depending on what angle you look at the statue, or the lighting, you can see a seriousness to the pose, or you can see the beginning of that Superman Reeve smile he is known for.
Whichever point of view(s) you see, CM got it right. And like many other well known statues we know of, this piece is MUCH better in person.
The base, as Enzo has already mentioned, is surprisingly light, while the crystals themselves actually have a bit of weight to them. They feel, and look, like the real thing.
I was pretty amazed by the hair. It is slicked back, and like Raf has already mentioned, it can be modified. I left mine as you see it. This are the best eyes I have seen to date on a human representation by CM. I thought I was going to want glass eyes, but these painted eyes hit their mark.
Cinemaquette, if your goal was to produce a high end definitive and collectable statue that captures a strong likeness of Christopher Reeve Superman, then your goal has not only been met, it has been surpassed.
Here are the pics.
Please note;
1. One of the pics of the head has had the left eye retouched a tiny bit to remove debris.
2. Some of the pics have a bit of different lighting, this is to show how lighting can play on the flesh color of the silicon.
3. The last pics which show scale of the Superman: This is not the proper lighting, but it will suffice as moving these big boys around at 1:00 AM was a tiring, but pleasurable effort.
4. The long eyelashes could be curled back further, but actually look great in person, so I have choosen to leave as is.
