Reviews

No substitute for the original.
The original Superman Forever statue is one of the better pieces DC Direct has put out. It was a very accurate rendition of Alex Ross' art and featured a dynamic and very iconic Superman pose. Because of that, the statue was very popular and eventually sold out. The good news is that DC Direct finally decided to reissue the statue. The bad news is that it's an inferior reissue. For reasons I'm still struggling to understand, DC Direct doesn't believe in re-releasing statues as they were originally. Instead, they shrink them down and sell them as mini-statues. The original mold must still exist if they can manufacture this, so why not just commission a new batch of full-size statues? If this sounds like pointless complaining, know that this mini-statue is highly inferior to the original. Amazon's description says this is a 1:2 scale piece. I assume that's relative to the original, which was about 1:6 scale (12-inches tall). This mini-statue isn't even as tall...
Awesome figure
Packed with lots of details, it's being nicely sculpted and painted. Excellent packing and presentation. It's a fine item for collectors who admire the work of Alex Ross.

HOT TOYS does it again
For people not in the know, Hot Toys is the premiere toy manufacturer in the world who are known for their intense detail of each figure. Again they hit a home run with their Christopher Reeve Superman, the likeness of CR is uncanny. The figure can be placed into many great poses and comes with a nice Fortress Of Solitude base.
A Great Momento to Christopher Reeves
I was amazed to see the detail Hot Toys put into this piece! Oh gosh, it's so beautiful! The packaging itself got me excited, it's literally in a box shaped like the Superman logo! How cool is that? It's like the box itself was part of the piece! This is a must buy for a fan of Christopher Reeves' Superman. The classic!

Good packaging, but box needs more truth up front.
I like the way it is packaged but it would be better if they mentioned that the book by Les Daniels is a condensed version of his Superman: The Complete History. From whay I can see in side by side comparisons, the Golden Age history is word for word from the first book (they did include a complete comic story that wasn't in the first one, however). Also, they state that the Superman #1 reprint is accurate size. I have my doubts. I own Superman #24 from a few years later, obviously, and it is about 1/2 inch larger in dimensions on the top and side. The statue is nice, though. I feel the package is worth it at Amazon's discount price but not full retail.
Must Read for Superman fans!
If you already have "Superman:The Complete History", by Les Daniels, then you've already read "Superman:The Golden Age" since it's written by the same author & covers the same ground(CH covers 1933-today, while GA covers 1933-55)but, the statue by Ross, DeVito, & Ware makes this worth the purchase, whether you have the book or not.
A bit better than the Batman release
Very similar to the Batman Masterpiece Edition, this is a beautiful, but oversized and pricey, package. It consists of a large reinforced cardboard box containing a softcover reprint of Superman #1 and an abbreviated hardcover version of Les Daniels' Superman: The Complete History. Where the Batman Masterpiece contains a 9" Mego-style Batman figure, the Superman Masterpiece contains a superb 7" sculpture of Superman, designed by Alex Ross, reflecting his first appearance in Action Comics. Actually, the statue could be a maquette for the Fleischer Superman cartoons. It's really impressive! The box lid opens like a book, and the arrangement of the items within is very nice, giving them maximum visibility. This display, however, causes the box to be about twice the size of what it needs to be. Because of its large size and abundance of empty space, I guess Chronicle thought they could get away with it being priced so high. The Superman statue is so well-done, however,...

Topless Robot - My Girlfriend Is the President, Apparently

Posted by admin Feb 07, 2012

This is an square-to-god trailer for a Japanese porn fake. I remember the master of ceremonies is speaking appropriate English, but it is not a lampoon. It is an positively natural hentai adventurous where aliens drive on the Japanese ministry, and come to a decision the simplest item to do is restore b succeed a Japanese tainted first jail-bait president, shape a reproduction of the Innocent Forebears, and then -- because this is the simplest solving they could reflect on of -- brainwash the unscathed community into believing the maid is in incident the president of Japan. Oh. My. Fuckkoalas.

I liking this understanding of President Obama. I thoughtfulness nothing could top the Superman ikon pic, but this did it. Now, I no more than call for to find my Role Wars figures give one of their lightsabers to my Obama ways personality-- for authenticity's profit, I imagine I'll have to find one of my Obi-Wans.

Though, a purple lightsaber would be much funnier...
