Hopefully Queen Studios is doing a 1/4 (or 1/3) Reeve Superman. Their head sculpt artists are far superior with respect to real actors' likeness. The sideshow Ledger Joker was terrible.

Been looking at this some more.

A couple of likeness issues spring to mind. He looks possibly too tanned. His ears look on the large/long side. His eyebrowse are way too thick, and too high up from his eyes. His nose should be slightly thinner, shorter. His mouth, the right side should be slightly lower, and the left side needs the upper/lower lips to be long to follow the line, rather than have only a line. The eye's are really throwing it out. It is about 90% there.

ES is TBD, might be a large number, there's no need to pre-order this now right? there's a chance for discounts/free shipping down the road?

I think the likeness is fine. The expression is a weird choice, but the likeness is definitely Reeve.

That said, as someone that PO'ed their first MoS PF on day 1, there is no way SS is getting one cent out of me prior to in hand pics.

The Hot Toys Reeve Superman from way back in 2013 remains the very best Christopher Reeve likeness ever produced. I'd love a statue of Reeve Superman but the likeness on this one just isn't good enough, especially when I have the Hot Toys version on my shelf to compare it to.

Hot Toys appear to have managed to get the eye/eye-browse combo closer than the Sideshow sculpt which looks about 20% off.

I have the Evil Superman HT and that is a spot on likeness. Plus it’s fun. My teenage daughter at the time used to go look at it every morning before school in amazement.

In any event, on the fence if I need this one. Thought it would have been a little cheaper.
