    12" Chris Reeves Superman

    I didn't know where else to post this guy, but I figured since he's a custom (albeit not a Mego one), that this would be the place to show him.

    I recently purchsed him from a very talented customizer:








    Wadda ya guys think?

      Well Sir, I think he's awsome and my guess is figureman Les made him? He looks like one of his customs. But whom ever did the job he looks great.

              Thanks guys, I'm glad you like him.

              Captain Mego, no, it's not him, this one was made by Steven Ledford.

              Zorro, yes, I seen that one before as well, I like it a lot too, he does not make them anymore.

                    That's perfect. It seems like Christopher Reeve is a hard sculpt to get just right, too.

                      Nah,.. Les's is more true to the character. Better Paint on the head, & the Blue is more true to the character. In the last pic this ones eye's don't match up, ones looking up,.. the other's at you. Les don't do that.

                      It is a very nice figure though, very nice suit.

                        Is this Les's Supes?

                        Excellent head sculpt, but his body is way too massive for Chris Reeves.

                        BTW, my camera is notorious for being taking bluish colors, the blues on the Supes are not as instense.

                        But yes, one of the eys is a little off, but he still nailed the figure IMO.

                              Wow, it looks more like a miniature mannequin than an action figure. Great sculpt though. And that link of Clark Kent is dead on too.
