Not to mention man-boobs. Is it too much to ask to just use Reeve's own musculature? He was not puny, why exaggerate it?

I couldn't stop thinking about this so I had to make a rough version of what this model could/should be in my mind and I think DC could easily apply these changes. Changes: - Trim the left side of the cape - Re-coloured suit - head was scaled down in width - re-positioning of left arm to pointing pose.

Looks great but the face looks a little messed up and there is no yellow s on the cape. You can see for yourself at DC Direct's website they have a 360 degree view and there is no yellow s on the cape.

I've been trying to remain neutral. You know, like a kid who has to choose between his divorced parents. I finally just decided to spend most of my time here, and maybe every other weekend with the other parent.

So we speculated on the statue and were let down. The Hot Toys proposition, however, is full of potential so lets instead ponder on what we'd ideally like to see that would be the last word in a Superman Movie figure. My preference? A Christopher Reeve version of no less than this; The 2 in 1 figure with alternate head and Clark Kent outfit. Headsculpt 1;This STM publicity still has, I think, just the right sardonic edge. Headsculpt 2 Again, I think this captures the mannerism of Reeve's Kent completely. The suit should be the first scenes in the Planet as pictured. I love the hat but could live without it. The articulated body;Should look no less buff than this. This also gives an idea of the complete figure. Can you imagine this staring out at you from a window box!?! As accessories go I'd like to see; * The green crystal * The Kryptonite necklace * Removable glasses * Alternate 'flying' handsIf Hot Toys did come through with this I'm certain every member of this board would purchase at least one. Except me. I'd buy four and would customise the remainder thus; * Donner cut depowering scene * 'Evil' Superman from III * Helicopter rescue revealI also propose HT re-release the Returns Jor-El in the trial robes with Phantom Zone crystal. And just look at their latest - The Bale Batman. These guys just HAVE to do it. Any thoughts...?

Great post Martin! I'm sure everyone here would buy a Hot Toys Christopher Reeve figure in second! They could do the same thing with the statue and donate to the Reeve Foundation.

I have to agree with all of your ideas on this, and great ideas on the accesories.
I wasnt really impressed by their work on the Superman Returns products, likeness could of been better and I never liked the way the suit fitted to the body - but from their recent product range for Dark Knight they seem to be taking their art to whole new level, the detail in the sculpting, painting and accesories is amazing and im sure this is where we will find the ultimate Christopher Reeve figure.

We should start a Hot Toys Christopher Reeve Superman figure petition.
