XM Studios - Justice League 1/6 scale - Superman

[slynger]

Just watched Radd Titan’s muted video of this (thought that was kind of funny) and, I must say, it’s growing on me. Question, the emblem on the cape was present, but just outlined, I'm assuming it will be painted? Does anyone know?

Nice, but I still like Tweeterheads version of him, which is the classic version

Where are the red undies?

Meh tweeterhead 1/6 Superman is superior.

I'm getting both but that's because they're on different ends of the collecting spectrum, XM is more realistic, Tweerhead is more cartoonish...

Damn, this piece is really growing on me! When i first saw him (on a slightly blurry STGCC pic), it was "hate at first sight".
But the more i see of him, with hires close up shots, the more i love him (still with exception of the suit).

If it weren't for the Rebirth outfit, this would be a first day PO... but i might get him anyway, since the sculpt is really beautiful.

As Built already said, its the perfect counterpiece to the TH Supes, in terms of "realism" (which i already have on PO).

Not the sheer (but subtle) power, the P1 Hush Sperman emanates, but still not to shabby...

Yep, I think both lines and am happy they went very different directions. I just hope XM line can go for a while to get outside of the top ten characters we are use to seeing.

With the MTO and this scale it has a chance. But really collectors always say they want off the beaten path characters. Then they get made. Then they don't sell.

I understand, that's why I make a point to buy them, such as pre-ordering upcoming Donna Troy from Tweeterhead.

I feel the MTO model is very Bowen-esque that lesser known characters can be made and still be profitable. Nobody can deny that Bowen made a ton of niche characters and people scooped them up. At 1:4 and 1:3 lesser popular characters won't sell, but at 1:6 they will.

And if XM does them in modern with all their swap-outs, while Tweeterhead does a comic vibe - I will gladly buy from both companies.
