Custom #: | 48596 | Name: | Man of Steel | Superman | Custom Type: | Action Figure | Toy Series: | Movie Masters | Creator: | GeekSummit  | Date Added: | April 5, 2013 | Base Figure: | Man of Steel Superman | Height: | 6.00 inches | Completion Time: | 2.00 hours | Articulation: | 21 points |
I got a hold of a couple VERY early releases of the Man of Steel Superman figures and decided to jump in swinging. I did my standard black wash first to knock the blues down and give the silver ribbing a bit more depth and the moved on to the cape. The cape features wiring for total control as well as a little hot glue to firm it up around the shoulders. The hips were modified to make up for the lack of articulation in the upper torso as well as the neck for added angle for flying poses. Supes is looking pretty super now.  Please wait... |

Good work again, I imagine we'll be seeing you do more of these in the future! Now make yourself a PROPER base/stand for that awesome Cavill figure...that little factory one ain't cutting it!
I had thought about doing a Reeve on the Lundgren body but hadn't gotten around to it. But yeah the black wash was done a little excitedly I won't lie. I wanted to include it in my figure review I did on the Tube last night but it ran well over 15 minutes so I left it out.
I have seen the Glassman Reeve heads on RingoMendoza's figures but they don't capture the crispness of the direct casts. It seems like a lot of the likeness muddies up as it's shrunk.
Any further discoloration is probably from using Mac Preview as my makeshift Photoshop. And yes he does have a little shaded jaw but no sculpted stubble.
The belt sadly just remains blue on this figure. I'm sure that will be addressed in further streetdate releases though. I just wish they would add the abcrunch to this guy. I may just have to do it myself.
Definitely check out the review on YouTube though.
BTW. I'm still waiting to see those heads pop up on some of your magnificent work. What gives?
As for the Reeve heads, I am sticking with the Glassman cast for now..you are right, it does lose a little likeness in the shrinking process, but it looks awesome in person (I have updated that figure recently, with a face and eye repaint that enhance the likeness a little, in case you wanna take a look). I got your heads saved for now, don´t get me wrong, they re good, specially the Clark Kent hairsculpt, but I was a little tired of the New Krypton head...
**Yeah, the coloring is not so bad but they definitely beautified their paintmaster for sure in the USA Today. Be sure and check out my review on YouTube. I do an unboxing and have some good stills.
