New SUPERMAN Figure Available at FTC

[JediJaida]

I hate the outfit. It's too saggy and baggy. It needs to be tighter overall, otherwise, he looks lije he's wearing saggy p.j.'s.

Love love love that head sculpt!!

Different emblem, too I think.

Yep! Staring at SF Superman now and this is the more, classic comic emblem. Bigger and wider.

I think a much better approach would be to have the belt free floating and simply paint the belt loops on it.

Or something. This belt approach is much better than the Justice League Superman's belt, but at least the top of the belt lined up with the top of the super underwear. I prefer a real belt though and have thought about the belt with painted loops approach. I don't think even with a thicker belt would it cover the seam between the red and the blue.

I really like this sculpt! I'm wondering how it looks with glasses now!

I'm also wondering what changes will be made between this "Early Bird" figure and when they release it fully. There were minor changes when they did the same for Gordon.

Sculpt, from what we can see is perfect! It is what Batman Series 5 Batman should have been. I think the figure will be the same once it goes to general release, but the card might be different; maybe with full body artwork. I have The Superman Series 1 Early Bird figure and I don't think there was any difference between that figure and the general release. Early Release Gordon was extra early and didn't even come on a card, so that might be the reasoning for making it different once it was released on a card.

I hope this is an indication of good things (sculpts) to come....a well sculpted Hawkman maybe....fingers cross.

WOW! Looks AWESOME! I'm getting one!

That new Superman head looks really good - and proportionate. That's great news, because sculpts are always my biggest concern with FTC figures. If only they'd go all the way for once and make the suit perfect as well. This should be the easy part really. I would have preferred the solid plastic Shazam belt and slimmer boots, maybe classic hero boots. I hope it's not a bad sign FTC is recycling parts for a big gun like Superman. Anyway, I definitely want this figure and hope we'll see more quality sculpting like this.

Looks like the Jose Luis Garcia Lopez (Praise Be His Name) headshot on the package next to him. NICE!!!

And because of that, very Super Powers-like. Super NICE!!!

Is it just me...or does that looks proportional?!

The head size looks almost perfect; sculpt is really solid. Wish we had a side view, though.

[darkbros]

^Yes, like Mattel. But it's also possible to sew the loops on properly to seat the belt.

Hmm..will have to wait for this one loose, so I can swap the suit with the Mattel RAH one.....

[darkbros]

Wow maybe a new sculptor for FTC? That looks pretty nice....

Super! I remember in Scott Beauty's FTC interview that Anthony said there would be an all new Superman figure in 2017, was not expecting him so Soon! Great head sculpt (S curl) and Costume! Now we need an updated Supergirl in her 90s Matrix costume like Helen Slater 1984 Supergirl movie costume!
