Well with the release of the movie today, we’ve seen a lot of different companies doing this Superman. Who does /toy/ think did the best job? Obviously there’s multiple factors, scale, cost, etc., so I’m sure a lot of people will have different opinions. I will say I don’t think any company has really nailed the likeness, including the expensive options.

There’s also the 1/4 NECA that was revealed today. If there’s any other companies I forgot, feel free to drop pics of them.

Oh yeah, the FondJoy one as well

>>11487155
Wow, they really nailed the ill-fitting suit

MODS
Ban this faggot spamming the catalog. Delete this thread and all of his posts and watch how much trash disappears.

Start a discord if you want to control conversations.

>>11487160
I’m not sure who you think I am, but I didn’t mean any ill intent with this post.
>>11487163
I’m not even trying to make a brand war thread… just curious what other anons opinions are. You can like or dislike figures without bashing the others.

>>11487172
You must be new here

>>11487154 (OP)
Damn You can really see how tariffs have fucked up toys even the inart looks rushed

>>11487200
Yeah I was surprised by the Inart too, everyone seems to be praising it but it did miss the mark. It comes with a closed eyes sculpt for some reason, but the likeness looks slightly better on it.

>>11487200
That comment makes zero sense so I can only assume you’re a retard that knows nothing about toy production timelines or are a troll.

>>11487241
>expecting the concern trolls to make any sense
They're sweating over F4's bad press is all

>>11487228
I get why they did it, but they should have made the neck and head one piece. Or fix the way it looks, it looks bad rn especially for 1/6.

>>11487241
>I can only assume you’re a retard that knows nothing about toy production timelines
Yeah non of these toys are out yet except the mcfarlane which looks like a typical mcfarlane
& ditto for the spinmaster

>>11487154 (OP)
Why do none of them look like the actor?

Are we just going to have to wait? None of these look great.

Too bad the hot toys doesn't have the inarts head sculpt, colors or accessories.

honestly i want this nigga

>>11487154 (OP)
Spin Master definitely

>>11487569
The true hero of the movie. Gunn should have just made a Mr Terrific movie.

>>11487569
>steals your movie
>Nothin personal kid

>>11487566
Hot toys has the better stand and shade of red imo

>>11487154 (OP)
Ordered the Figuarts one, more so just to have a Superman to go with my imports since I really like the costume.

>>11487157
Are the fondjoys figure good?
I tried the Iron man model kit and the articulations are a fucking mess.

>>11487155
>>11487159
Yep, those look awful and it did look meh in a large IMAX presentation today.

>>11487558
Yeah, I would agree that's my biggest disappoint in almost all of these. Some are decent captures, but they aren't good - whereas the McFart of Hoult as Lex, which I did grab at Best Buy, does look good.

>>11487154 (OP)
The HT stands does help things, but if I had to pick an import, it would be the SHF. I don't intend to buy any, at those price points, for the same reason I didn't get a Cavil - I don't like the uniform. I bought the SM because I was going to build the Robot, but I'd rather just wait for the Spinmaster action figure Heroes Vs. Villains 5-Pack to be remaindered and buy 5-8 of them at $5.99/7.99 a pop at Ross or Burlington to army build robots, even if they are 3 inchers.

>>11487154 (OP)
As a kid, I would have hated all of these. They're too realistic. Superman needs to look like a cartoon character for me to play with him.

maybe Mezco will deliver a better 1/12 Corenswet because the rest of them look bad.

>>11487828
Same but you posted trash

>>11488038
>Same but I'm a fucking faggot weaboo

>>11488040
Amen brother

>>11488040

>>11487828
Meh. That's not even the best cartoon Superman by McFarlane.

>>11487154 (OP)
>Who made the best David Corenswet Superman?

How much are they paying you to shill this trash, Poojesh?

>>11488692
>belts not orange
Well they tried harder than inart

>>11487154 (OP)
>Best Corenswet Superman

>>11489670
Which figure is this?

>>11487154 (OP)
man that Figuarts really does look like shooter mcgavin.

>>11491978
They are the DC Superpowers (4.5" essentially 5POA) - they are a line that someone else did in the past, that McFarlane has been releasing since they had the contract. You can find them right now at GameStop or WalMart.

>>11487154 (OP)
>>11487155
>>11487157
Out of everything pictured, McFarlane looks the best of the lower end stuff with probably the foundjoy in second place. The inart absolutely smoked the Hot toys and I do think it's very accurate to the real guh, but the face is a bit darker/intense/angry and they probably should have picked a happier expression.

>>11493078
>foundjoy
Neck down, it appears to be a good figure, and for the price, might be the best bet for the imports. But the face capture is not the second, much less the best, of the ones to match the actor.

Inart, for it's other problems, has the best face, IMHO. He's a good looking guy and a lot of these sculpts end up making him look goofy. And yes, some of the promo stills and shots from the movie do look like that - the trailer scene where they throw the can at him in the earlier part of the film, post the Krypton message reveal for example, or some of the flight promo stills. But just take any picture from any of his promo interviews or stills, and discount that he has the trim facial hair and the close crop haircut and you see NONE of the head sculpts really come close.

And take other, non-promo, stills from the movie, even stuff used in the trailers, and you also see this with him clean shaven and a full head of hair.

>>11493613
They redid the face compared to

For $50? fondjoy won

>>11487157
>1/9th scale
these companies just make sizes up lmao Is this suppossed to work with Play arts or some shit?

>>11493803
Fair enough but I'm not invested in this version enough to care to want to even get the McFarlane that comes with the extra face plates and the Krypto. If it was a traditional Krypto look, versus Gunn's PTSD rescue doggo look, or if I didn't really dislike Coronswet's suit as bulky ugly PJs, I might change my mind.

I liked Henry more and I didn't buy any of the imports of him either even when the MEZCO knock-off showed up on WalMart from the same Chinese factory that makes 'em for the Japanese.

How’d I do

>>11487828
The proportions are awful on this and while I’m complaining the Curt Swan Superman they put out is also a travesty.

>>11495772
not bad but the hair color is off

>>11499105
^_^

>>11499987
Are you making a sex doll?

>>11500001
I figured I’d start with a custom Mego figure but the possibilities are endless

>>11488110
I gave this guy a shot too

>>11500001
Sex dolls with just the head are mostly pointless (particularly with a closed-mouth head sculpt), anon.

Aren't they teaching proper sex ed in schools today?

>>11487828
>>11496155
>The proportions
Not to defend Todd McFarlane, because he's a terrible artist, even worse writer, and just awful as a toy maker or toy business owner, but that particular was actually supposed to mimic the S-TAS series models by Bruce Timm, and is essentially based, if I'm remembering it correctly, on the steel girder toy by, I want to say Hasbro, in the late 1980s or 1990s?

Which Curt Swan are you talking about? The older Kal-L from Earth Two version?

>>11500065
Would have preferred something more like picrel for a Timm Superman. The skinny legs on that figure just look comical.
The Curt Swan figure I’m thinking of is the one that includes the goofy Silver Age swap out heads. Couldn’t hold a candle to the DC Direct one (sculpted by Tony Cipriano who has the Swan Superman down to a science, he’s sculpted figurines of him too).

>>11487154 (OP)
Holy shit, Hot Toys takes it. I'm surprised because usually InArt takes it in sculpt quality but HT came out both guns blazing.

Newly revealed Mezco Superman

>>11488038
I stand by this being the best Superman figure ever. It's like Medicom fixed everything wrong with the Batman TDKR body. Why is one too bulky to be good and the other is great despite being just as bulky?

>>11500335
>super specific art style
nah
>>11487154 (OP)
hard to believe, but Todd did. all the others have some huge flaw, from pricing to poor likeness to a too-bulky suit.

>>11500310
Mezco wins for now. Still waiting though.

>>11487157
>a FUCKING statue dog

LMAO

>>11500310
This looks like David Corenswet ran through the "in 25 years..." filter lmao

>>11500310
This one looks the most like him to me

>>11500028
That looks fantastic
>>11500310
10/10 from the neck down

>>11500469
Yeah, at least have the fucking legs and head move. Fisher Price managed it for a cheap low end kids toy, so even a fucking C-List import brand should be able to manage it.

>>11500547
more like 10, fren

>>11500433
todd's fucking face plates suck ass, pal

>>11501021
Thanks fren
