IMO the Zod looks great, but compared side to side, The Reeve Superman looks like he would loose every battle with him. Hope they do beef up the body. The sculpt looks OK to me. I agree that it seems very hard to capture that perfect look to Chris Reeve's face.

It's all good! -
The Custom Chris Reeve Head I got from BK, is 10 times the BETTER Sculpt! They won't be getting money...I'd rather have a nice 8" Custom.

I'm guessing Zod has the same body as Reeve.
Zod's suit just covers it up.
It seems toymakes can never get their bodies right ... they either make them too pumped or too skinny.
Use a 12" GI Joe body as guide.
It's not that tough.Comment

I would seriously kit bash that with a better body...it's not a dead ringer but what the hey it is what it is.......

The 12" custom Reeve figure builders don't have anything to worry about when Mattel is going with this figure.Comment

The way I look at it, if the price point is good... this gives me a nice starting point on a custom 12inch Superman. Switch the body out with one of the MANY options out there. Maybe a NeoGuy body, who knows.
My point is, the head looks good enough. The suit is good enough.
It's going to sit on a shelf, kneeling before my Zod figure, so as long as the knees bend fine, we're all good.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The likeness is better than I thought. Check out the shots at the top of this page:

The body looks way too skinny for the head. Hopefully, they'll beef the whole body up.
