Yup, I was shocked to see it on facebook.. It's definitely a good quality knockoff... except for the part where his cape is removable! hahaha.. I never expected to see such bootleg on this artfx line.

Upon further investigating, I found the knockoff item on ebay.. http://www.ebay.ph/itm/Crazy-Toys-Su...item3f3f71d4f1

It's the same company "crazy toys" - which produced the knockoff artfx+ line.. those DC 1/10 scale statues.

looks good based on the pictures but when you have it close up, you can see all the mold lines and bad paint job. hehe.

And those shrinkage swirls .... It's made from some dense vinyl material so there is some amount of 'give'.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

i bought this a while back it said it was distributed by some toy company did not know it was a bootleg since it had the actual company associated with it. i don't know if he will be bad or not but looking to do something like this. i thought this guy did a cool job on this superman statue.

so i got my so "bootleg" Superman statue and all i can say is it is exactly like the original which is pretty crazy. as stated i did not know it was a bootleg i always try to support companies but the paintjob is exact to a T no flaws. i will repaint him comic version so this kind of worked out great for me when i found out it was a bootleg i got scared the face would be messed up but it wasn't. skin tones are perfect as well as the suit.

I have a problem. The shield on the cape has become sticky and the black lines are starting to rub off... has this happened to anyone else?

How about the rest of the red cape? Did it became sticky too? or only the shield on the cape?

Mine still looks fine...

Just the shield. Everything else is perfectly fine.

I finally found & acquired a Kotobukiya 1/6 Superman For Tomorrow statue! Secondhand but in perfect condition & for retail price









A definite must have in any Superman or DC collection, Kotobukiya should reproduce it sooner than later. Bring on Green Lantern, Aquaman, & Martian Manhunter!
