He comes with two keys. A scale size for him, and a 1:1 for you!

Yes, the key is full size.

And congrats to all of you that've decided to pick him up. Photos and video simply don't do him justice.

The head, body, costume, cape and paint app are on a whole different level!

Fantastic base, fantastic packaging. SH75 should've given this piece a 10. Because the cape could've never hung as regal and majestic as it was supposed to, if it had wires within the cloth.

The cape is pleated, made of a delicate material, and looks stunning.

You guys can't go wrong with this item.

So those of you who own this how accurate are the colors of the suit to to the ones in the film? With all the pictures everywhere with different lighting it's hard to tell.

I think the colors were extremely accurate. Compare pictures of the fig with the movie screens on google.

It's really close.

Just wanted to chime in and say I received mine 3 or 4 weeks ago, and it looks absolutely incredible. The headsculpt looks even better in person, and the detail on the costume is extraordinary.

It easily blows away the Reeve Superman, as far as I'm concerned.

Just picked mine up today. It is an excellent portrait. Blow away Reeve? Well not sure I agree with that but it is every bit as good. The costume is excellent. Will go great next to Reeve. Now, if Hot Toys would just get the George Reeves licence that would be great.

Thanks for your responses guys. Dang your making it tough for me. I've been struggling with getting this, Zod or just PF Sinestro. The Sinestro I'm leaning towards not since I just can't think of any place to put such a large piece. I love the statue but the size is what stops me. So now it's down to Supes or wait on Zod. I just don't know on this one guys. It's a really hard decision. I could be dissappointed with Zod in the end, that's highly unlikely, but there is that chance so it's difficult to know whether or not I should wait on this, get Zod and wait for another Supes or get the supes now. A very difficult decision. It's making my head . It be so much easier to just have the funds to get both and call it day. Not gonna go into debt for it though. which is something that can easily be done with us collectors.

Question to those that have this piece. The post is somewhat different than the others i have. It's thicker and flexible. How do you get the clamp piece farther down the post to just hold the figure upright?

I don't think that clamp moves down further. Because the rod is that flex metal.

Pretty sure that clamp is for flight poses only. As he stands sturdy without it anyway.

If I'm mistaken, please correct me.
