Finally
it arrives after a long gruesome 6 months of anticipation, but the wait
is finally over. As promised, we will be showcasing a tribute to the
real man of steal, the man who made us fan boys ogle about a man flying
trying to save a reporter falling down from a 100 floor building. The
terrible injury and subsequent death of Christopher Reeve was a tragic
end to the life of an actor loved by many fans around the world. While
he starred in almost 50 movies and television shows, he'll always be
best remembered as Superman.
Fun Facts : Fans and Companies have chosen this to be Hot Toys Figure of the Year for 2011.
When
i first went to pick this package out, i was so amazed by the size of
the box and the design was just simply amazing! Here's a little bit of
pictures taken when i first "unboxed" it today.
The cool box which will look fantastic when displaying the figure, keep in mind, its a pretty big box!
A
Few writings on the back, you might wanna read everything first, with
the price this figure cost, the last thing i wanna do is miss out on an
instruction.
Credits to the Hot Toys crew involved in designing this iconic figure.
3 Sets of Hands and The Fortress of Solitude Diorama Stand.
2 Types of stands, Diorama and also a normal stand.
Diorama set up, If you want to make it glow, might wanna invest in some small white colour LED to light up the ambience.
Just
look at the detail, i felt a little bit weird because he looks so
real. All the pieces are extremely well tailored with great fitting to
the figure. The Scale of the suit is perfect, even the emblem on both
the chest and cape is cool!
Boots
are very accurate that it actually looks leathery cool for when he
flies super fast. The boots are especially nice, made from a soft
leather-like material. They give just enough for the ankles to move, yet
remain stiff enough to look great in any pose.
For
Articulation sake - The figure joints are tight,but no trouble posing
him the way I wanted. But if you read the instruction properly, you
might wanna watch out when moving the head to avoid any damage to the
rubbery skin. Very delecate - Wash your hands boys!
Let's
talk a bit about the awesome thin wire inside the cape, designed to
allow you to give some poses to the fabric. It's not strong enough to
hold the cape out straight from his back (too bad) but it is stiff
enough to add some realistic curls and contours. So its still workable
for a great picture pose!
Finally
i end this unbox review with my rating for this figure, out of ten - i
would give this a score of 9 out or 10. Only because of the price for
this figure, overall detail and articulation is perfect. But BND$290 is
just way too much for this non Deluxe (DX) Hot Toys Figure and lack of
accessories. I Guess it was just about the Tribute, with all the
complaints i've said, once i held this figure in my hands, it was
totally worth it.
Stay cool true believers!
Bought From: GO Figure, Gadong Mall Brunei.
