To me his face is 95 % which is not a problem for me , every one I know that's seen mine are blown away by how good it is , not one person mentioned the seam in the jaw line . P.s great video
I actually have seen the reeves version of the cape and I can say they actually have the s symbol correct. If you have seen it’s the lines are just like that where the yellow is outside the line and sort of sloppy I guess to give it the look like it was hand made.
The brow isn't perfect. After seeing Arnie Kim's work on his PF Superman, everything else I see is compared to that. But that's a custom piece and maybe triple the price of this. So, for the price point, it's ok. Much better than their previous one
Maybe due to Christopher Reeves get older in age..that' s why his face look a little bit skinnier on Superman 4 than he was in Superman the Movie ( superman 1 and 2 ). But all in all that figure still is very clear typical of Christopher Reeves..It is so amazing.
Looks good from a distance but for a Premium Format and at this price point the head and face should be better. The body and clothing is excellent. Great review.

@@dadarkknight36310 i don't have the problem with the S design. It was faithful to the source. What i meant is the creased of the blue material around his chest and that symbol...making him look like having a protruding nipples... lol
So sorry, but the warnings were there in the beginning, people said it was bad, sideshow did not listen…. No matter the room or setup or the lighting or whatever, this is just all around bad. Sideshow messed up here..
wonder why it takes people so long to see that they do this on purpose.....if they make a perfect statue they won't be able to sell others so this bit here is perfect with this other bit here make this one look better than the last but not to much better.
Front view doesn't look like Chris Reeve. Side view is good. The problem overall is poor quality control especially if made in China. Overall not worth the money they are asking for due to many issues with this statue. Oh and BTW the S shield should be silk screened and not an iron on for this price point. Unacceptable.
The seam can be covered by cosmetics but the quality isn’t up to the prototype. Christopher reeve deserved better. I feel that the call to action Superman was a much better piece with passion behind it
@@magonzal70GONZO Well it’s easier to do comic based portraits because you don’t have to worry about getting a perfect likeness of the actor which is really really hard to do and probably why they went with pvc instead of raisin for the head. The only way you are going to get the a great likeness especially on a 1/4 scale you are going to have to pay a premium price up in the thousands like Queen studios and they have to use silicone to help with the likeness
“Damn good?” No way. I have to respectfully disagree. With todays techniques at a $700 price point it’s a fail. This one was too important to be ok, it should have been great. It’s goofy looking doll compared to what was possible
Its such a Shame that SS couldn't give us what was firstly promoted...the Paint Apps are very poor, the Symbol should be part of the Fabric not a Heat Transfer...over time that will start to lift and for what you Paid its just not on. The Sculpt looks great from the side but that's it...your Bust is Absolutely 💯% better than this but this Sculpt I'm sorry isn't even close to your Bust. I'm Disappointed and I won't be getting this and I just hope a Company does my Childhood Superman Justice...but in saying that Congrats if you picked him up
That statue does not look like Christopher Reeve at all. Looks like another actor forgot his name But not Christopher Reeve. Sloppy job on that Superman. Watch out Sideshow Tweeterhead are doing a phenomenal job.

What kind of light panel are you using to display him on? Dont know what to search for and would love to buy one. Thanks
You have a great Superman collection. Very cool
I'm holding off for Darkside Collectibles 1/3 scale Reeve. But this still looks good in your video for the price point. Awesome collection by the way.
Thanks!! Appreciate you watching
When’s that coming out? I don’t even see it on their website
Whom did they sculpt this from because to me it looks like brandon routh. From the side I can see Chris but from the front deffo brandon
4:38 That likeness is right on.
This is the Greatest review of this statue. This convinced me to buy it and ha ingá ir my hands i assure you… you won’t regret it
Love your collection. This will only make my 3rd Superman, so I have a long way to go.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You were very succinct and insightful.
send the link to where you bought
I ordered it. Also love your collection! I hear the BK accent lmfaoooooooo
Great video. I would be tempted to get it partially repainted and the joint fixed as that could be filled in.
You nailed it brother couldn't agree with you anymore Thanks for another awesome review
Thanks man. Appreciate you watching!
Yep, that bust is way better. I’m still hoping we get a definitive Reeve one day soon.
I hope P1 takes it on!
Whoever did the Tweeterhead '66 Batman maquettes would have been an ideal sculptor on this statue.
Great. The only one Superman Christopher Reeve forever.

You know, I thought that too but couldn’t find online. You’re right though, I remember seeing in the movie itself.

It's an excellent statue I have it and I'm enjoying it very much! 9:54

But all in all that figure still is very clear typical of Christopher Reeves..It is so amazing.
I’m getting it, but I’ll wait for the discount
It looks good with dim lights. It looks like a stunt double of Christopher Reeves.
Who the hell is Christopher ReeveS?!
@Eddie "Rascal" Haskell I know right?! 🤦♂️
I really hope prime 1 takes this on ...I'm sure they would knock it out of the park come on prime 1
Me too, hopefully it happens
Looks good from a distance but for a Premium Format and at this price point the head and face should be better. The body and clothing is excellent. Great review.
I'm more irk with how the symbol looks... And yes, the one that kill the sculpt from being Reeve is the thick eyebrow and also the short forehead

Thank you for sharing. I still like it even with the flaws. Thanks. :0)
I do too :). Still an amazing statue. Thanks for watching!
Is the body and neck Polystone , I believe the face sculpt might be pvc. Which why there is a seam and is attached to the polystone , but I’m not sure
I think it is vinyl pvc yes
Contact Rafael Robelo Jr on his channel, he can fix that seam and lay down a good paint job.
The face favors John Travolta more than Reeve.
Nice
I'm holding off on getting this one and waiting to see what Darkside brings to the table. For this price,I need precision! I like the box tho!
I will get mine repainted for sure 😉
Don’t blame you, let us know how it turns out
@@magonzal70GONZO im still waiting for mine didn't get it yet hooe soon😉
Proof that maybe grown men should spend their money a little wiser. But hey, if you like it, good on you.
Queda espectacular
So how many ppl here buy reeve sideshow? Im offering sumthing you might like it...
Reminds me more of Brandon Routh
Good point, the head on view especially
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!
THE SMALLER
FIGURE IS
GREAT ENOUGH!!
Looks like a character from Frozen 😂
The prototype was better without seams
wonder why it takes people so long to see that they do this on purpose.....if they make a perfect statue they won't be able to sell others so this bit here is perfect with this other bit here make this one look better than the last but not to much better.
Wow that portrait is something. Had the piece with the dam base . Looked far better than this. Just wow.

It’s weird, they do much better with comic based pieces than movie pieces. No idea why. But anything Chris Reeve they should know the bar is very high

Just realized this looks like Meat from Porkys 🤣
Exactly ! It, s a terrible face sculpt.
Got this ,Very disappointed,looks ok from afar .i did preorder the jnd . Thank you jnd !
The likeness is about 80% but not exactly like Chris, the other defects sloppy work, especially at the cost 🙄
Let's cut the story short, it doesn't look like Christopher Reeves
$600 for that???
🤦🏻♂️

Agree with you. Hopefully you get a chance to see in person anyway. Thanks for watching!
