I looked at Superman again.
I like it even more.

aw yeah minority.

I'll join you in the minority. Aside from the teeth.,I kinda like it.

IDK, from the nostrils down the head just seems wrong, wrong, wrong. I do like the suit & hemmed cape.

aw shucks.

I looked at it again.

I envy your POV on this offering, as the more I look at it, the more I think of "what could have been" for this pivotal figure.

Like the head sculpt and the boots. Hopefully the roughness of the suit, belt, and how all of that is ill-fitting will be resolved during the production phase. He looks a bit malnourished.

I think this figure looks alright, not great but not bad. It will probably grow on me when I see it in person. On a side note though, have the people who photograph this stuff ever played with an action figure? When you go to all the trouble of lighting the figure, selecting a background and using the images to promote your company and product, why wouldn't you at least pose the figure in a natural or dynamic position to make it look good? It's like if the figure isn't falling over that's good enough. Might help make a better first impression at least.

I've taken a few art classes and this article is actually a good reference on proportion as I was taught.

The ideal is that the human body should be 8 heads high. I think they have it down to 6, especially with this figure.

Omg this is pure horrible, the figures are getting worse and worse, and more cheaper made.
My mom once made me a home made superman outfit that looked better then this entire outfit.
The head looks nothing like sf superman.
This i will not get.
If the rest looks so i will not get them.
Just like i wont get the newer sheaply made fist fighters with transperant crooked belts othe the so many of the same figures with a new package approach.

I hope they wake up and give us new figures and well made as well as proportioned.

Buy Shame and Madhatter from FTC directly ........they are both worth getting especially if you accumulating 66 Batman villains

Teemu, I'll DEFINITELY grab them, but am waiting for EE to offer them separately like they eventually did with Egghead & Penguin. With buying x2 of each (Hatter & Shame) I NEED the free S/H & the usual sales EE runs on FTC products (like the BOGO 40% OFF sale) to make buying them (considering x2 of each) worth it to me. But I will have them, as long as my waning interest in FTC Batman 66 & WGH (& now possibly Super Friends) doesn't cause disinterest. If the 66 Gals (Catwoman Julie & Eartha + Batgirl) are done well, (NO Giant heads) I will become reengaged in my fervent desire to "Collect Them All!" (-Variants as FTC CURED my OCD Toy Completist collecting thankfully w/ Variants)

One of the screen caps they are showing is of SuperBOY from the Challenge episode recapping Luthor's origin!

I like it, a lot. Looks fun and very cartoonish- like it should.

[darkbros]

pass. 'nuff said.

[Teemu]

2.) Batman 1966 - Too many Variants has me bored & therefore I skipped the whole Batman 66 WAVE 3 (x2) Won't pay $25+S/H, EE doesn't offer Shame & Hatter separately.[/B]

Tough audience as always.

I'm thrilled to see SF megos coming!!!!

A Super Friends Mego?

Is that what that Superman figure is?


I kid---like, I said above, the belt is a major problem... and the sculpt is a "miss" although---like someone said, the hair is pretty "SF"---and I see what they were going for. The open mouth could have easily been a closed one...but since it's open... they could've just left it unpainted. What's with these guys and RED lips---- especially on a figure based on a show where the only character with red lips was Wonder Woman. Throw some of your kid's OXY Cover-Up on the mouth and it'll help.

But, really, all the other mistakes are pretty minor. Unfortunately, I think this is more than a "tough crowd" thing---I could be mistaken, but the overall consensus on SF Supes seems more negative than usual.... and it's not good to see---it's the "big guy" in the SF, ya know? A pivotal piece in a line that we'd like to see hit 20 plus unique characters.

This is also why the weekly hype can backfire. build up... build up... wait for the announcement.... and are you on the edge of your seat yet... the reveal is a major letdown. If you build hype for a bunt... the bunt seems even more like a letdown, if you hit home runs.. the hype is automatic when you step up to the plate and it's warranted. If you are revealing something thats not so hot, you are better off not hyping it.

Sadly, someone at the Museum and someone at FTC thought it a clever union and a clever gimmick-----wish the MM woulda made this kinda cross-promotional pact with Doc/EMCE--- I respect Doc-----FTC spends more time on marketing schemes to feed the lemmings than on reasonable customer attention, and it's just not cool---but, I've said that from the start WAY before the "MM weekly announcement" bit.

I was really looking forward to the FTC SF line. And Gleek and Jayna and Robin really gave me hope----and, I'm trying my best with SF Supes, but as indicated by many MM members, the Supes shows FTC still has a bit to go as far as "hitting the mark"---they must be rushing things at certain points---'cause they HAVE shown that they can be a solid toy-making company despite their spotty releases.

I think the head sculpt may have been based heavily off this reference picture:
