I never said I didnt like it either. For a small statue there's a lot going for it I love the pose the glossy paint on the armor drag of the cape it's all breathtaking and the magnetic feet r a +, however I said there's flaws. Which there are. The paint chosen for the flesh is too pale, I would have like a more pinkish hue to bring out the fleshtones more. The baby lips also do not belong on Superman there's nothing heroic about them. The lips may have wowed on paper but the transition...
The head sculpt looks so much better than the DC Direct and DC Universe heads. Scale plays a part for sure, but honestly I think its more than that. Job well done to Kotobukiya.
How do you know what he really thinks? You don't like it so that automatically means he shouldn't either??? Dan does mention that the figure has an anime look to it, so from a review stand point he covered that. Its not a flaw, its the Koto style and it's an imported toy made to be sold overseas. Now Dan could have certainly gone further to explain that maybe but he did his job and gave u a good look at this product. Its up to you to decide if u want to buy it.
to plastic didnt work well in this case. Also I never said anything negative about him liking the product either, I simply wanted to know why he didnt think to cover a lot of the statue in paint other than it's a cool paint job I was cynical or at least I came across as so but I didnt bash him at all. There's a guy Michael Crawford who does text reviews like this but he goes into better detail pointing out flaws on stuff even if he adores it. I think a little criticism helps than none.
just got this piece in the mail through amazon a few days ago. Total cost was 39.64 w/ shipping. It is awesome and the face doesn't bother me at all. It looks super cool next to my Flash Kotbkya, the scale is good. Supes is a bit bulkier and looks like he might be 2-3 inches taller (in a 7.5 inch world, which is what they are both listed at.). great scupt, GREAT paint and really cool poses. I am for sure getting the Aquaman and maybe GL.
I think he keeps from letting too much out about what he really thinks about these things so he doesnt harm potential sales. I look at these things and I see sales pitch from a corporate spokesman at toyfair. His reviews are more like advertisments than anything else. I do enjoy the enthusiasm he shows with each review he's entertaining I just dont feel he's being truthful about something unless it's MOTU figures those seem to be the only time he really acknowledges the flaws those toys may have
you seem to really dislike the way he reviews? do you view him often? if so if you seem to dislike what he says? I mean im not telling you not to obviously, you have your own reasons....
Great review! Thanx to the review I decided to buy the series! They look awsome alone and together in a few months! The paint job is incredible, the sculpt is great and the face looks new and fresh, and yes, a little far eastern so what! No problem! And finaly the price is quite cheap in regard to other statue! So in my opinion a real winner!
So maybe I was a lil out of line with the "reallys?" For that I apologize, however I'm expressing my opinion now, I could be wrong but it's what I believe so will you respect mine?
I watch a lot of his reviews and I've been critical of some of them yes, one I have been was the Drop Copter he goes on to say wonderful things about it, the design and applications of it I got the hint he was lil cynical about the size of theis mini vehicle but there's no other negativity but looking at his other review of the Sewer Cruiser he goes on to favor the latter more possibly because of it's vintage feel but he doesnt specify nor does he in the Copter review, stuff like that bothers me
Ok, first I never bashed Pixel Dan at all! I simply disagreed with some points of his review. I have every right to do so, because that is the whole point of a comments section. Comments are report cards they are there to grade the reviewer on his strengths and weaknessess they then try to follow the example to make their reviews better. even with top reviewers like Dan here there can always be room for improvement My point was made I apologized for going overboard others accepted. Case Closed.
A lot of vaguely xenophobia comments about superman looking a little Asian. Honestly I don't see it, and let remember that superman is kryptonian not European.
It's different, I think I may buy it
Love that expression on the face, costume is dope too.
Great review as always Dan! Dan for president!
Its suppose too lol thats Kotobukiya's style

IF Play Arts Kai ever makes a Superman, they should model it after this statue.
Superman's power level is waaayyyyy over 9'000!
ebay or Amazon

It's his opinion, why don't you respect that.
wicked

it's the artist's style and that is what he likes. you say they are flaws and i respect your opinion but you should do the same.
Great review Dan! Thanks for the scale comparison, it really helped in deciding to buy all these guys!
how much is this?
I like how this looks. How much is it?
Great statue!
Didn't know Superman was of Japanese descent.
On this figure, he looks Japanese to me...1:40
I already apologized and there are comments below this one that cleared all misunderstanding s you felt you needed to comment because?
REALLY COOL REVIEW I MIGHT PICK ONE UP IN MY LOCAL HASTINGS.

I could never find the Mattel new 52 superman anyone care to help?
damn it im so tempted to buy this and gl but its one of those things i dont need but want.
Jim Lee's art work on the box, no doubt!
Bet the statue is off that as well
face sculpt doesnt look right!
you seem to really dislike the way he reviews? do you view him often? if so if you seem to dislike what he says? I mean im not telling you not to obviously, you have your own reasons....

cause it is made by kotobukiya, and FYI it IS a japanese company. Am I making this too OBVIOUS for you?
$39.99, there is a GL one as well and i hear that there will be new one released once a month. Aquaman is coming next i think.
So maybe I was a lil out of line with the "reallys?" For that I apologize, however I'm expressing my opinion now, I could be wrong but it's what I believe so will you respect mine?
better than mattel's superman face, IMO. to be fair there aren't a lot of good super man figures out there that is under $50.
in japan he is nown by day as crark kent and by night superawsumhappyfunfun man

He said he likes the experssion,Not the face.

japanese sure knows how to make great figures. why cannot american toy companies do the same?
headsculpt is terrible.
They ruined this with the Asian face! Nothing against Asians, its just not the superman I'm used to.
everything is great...
except for the asian face...
Yeah, that's why it's no good. He looks like an angry Chinese food waiter.
