Super Friends Superman PIC

[ODBJBG]

Not to bash anyone's work, but aside from a little bit of mold warp, I think the far left FTC model looks much closer to the far right Super Friends model, than the strange Jay Leno head in the middle.

great job on the photo-manipulation! you have inspired me! When i re-sculpt Mego / Figures Toy Compay heads, i work out the details on with GIMP / photoshop. For me, re-aligning the symmetry is paramount; then work on the paint job... simply, re-centre the eyes, and even lower them to the centre of the head, and follow up by paling-out those red lips... here, i actually aligned a pic of Super Friends Superman cel, then overlayed essential parts from the FTC face to the same dimensions. He seriously needs a thicker neck.

Yep, I like this 100% more. Nice job! If you make a head like that, I'm in for one!

With the head sizing issues, if they did Wonder Woman with molded hair she would look like a bobble head.

To me, molded hair for a long haired female figure just looks cheap. It is a personal choice that I would not want one in my collection. If I got one, it would be for the outfit and I'd replace the head. And the outfit would have to be killer.

The picture didn't come through.

I still think that Wonder Woman will make or break the line. If she has lame looking molded hair with a tiara molded to the head, or a poorly done costume, I probably won't buy the rest of the main characters. JeffBearCO

I confess I don't fully understand this position. FTC's handling of rooted hair has been spotty (Wondergirl is a prime example). IMO, as an animated character, Toth's WW could certainly have sculpted hair and DC Direct did a nice job depicting it in their SF WW figure. If FTC was to do rooted hair and a tiara accessory, it would look quite a bit like variants they've already announced. Also, they would have to style and set the hair to look appropriate, and this is something more sophisticated they've not yet demonstrated.

To me, a sculpted WW is by no means a deal-breaker if well-executed. Especially since Apache Chief has molded hair & not the Conan treatment.

I like him with symmetry and Apache Chief's mouth

It would also help if his eye line was in the center of the face. He's starting to look like Robert D'Zar.

The lack of symmetry in the Superman face leads me to believe that the head was shrunk from a larger size and warped somehow in the process. Either that or it was pulled too quickly from the mold.

Here's what it would look like with symmetry...

Looking good. Can't wait to see some more of the A-listers though like Batman, Flash, and Green Lantern. I originally thought the Atom was going to be in with this, but he seems to have disappeared off the map. );

If it's basically a Challenge of the Superfriends based line, atom likely wouldn't be in it. He appeared nowhere in either the standard SF episodes (the five and the twins) or the Challenge episodes that season.

Still a little torn on the line. Unique characters like Zan, Sam, and Chief are definite buys for me, as will be others if hey turn out like those. But the Supes is still bad enough to keep me from going all in on the characters we already have a version of. If I could put together the whole team in the same quality as Sam and the others, I'd likely get them all. But that's not going to be the case unless they go back and start from scratch on Supes, which ain't gonna happen. Passing on him makes it a lot easier to pass on the rest. My wallet is happy, but I'm sad at that.

I'm not worried about the bagginess of the suit. The part that is weird is that the red "trunks" actually show quite a bit over the belt.

It gives a Captain Underpants feel to the whole character.
