    I managed to find this figure after a few years of hunting and it’s my prized possession. Superman is my favorite movie ever. This isn’t just a grail, it’s a holy grail.

      It’s certainly iconic. I remember when I first seen the movie. He did a great job. That experience stuck with me. The suit was very comic accurate. Which I loved. Congrats to finding one of these for your collection.

      Pretty sure they had the ability to stitch on the cape's shield in 2011, sir. Pretty sure that detail was a cost thing vs a..."technology of their time..." thing. Dunce.

    I'm truly a die hard "Superman" fan! I'm very lucky I got my Hot Toys "Superman" 1/6 Scale figure, about 2 or 3 years ago for my birthday. I'm very proud I own it in my collection. I considered my treasure, a Holy Grail of toys! There will never be a greater "Superman" like Christopher Reeve. As a child, I remember my mother took me at the movie theater, watching Superman: the movie (1978) film. It's truly worth cherishing. Very interesting and informative content. And thanks Justin once again for sharing!

    This was my very first Hot Toys figure. But not my first sixth scale figure. I remember my excitement, waiting for it to be released back in 2011.
    I have been fortune enough to not have any issues with the "S" peeling or cracking. Or the neck joint cracking or splitting.
    It's the one and only figure that I would never sell.

    Wow, this unboxing and review of the Hot Toys 1978 Superman figure is absolutely fantastic! The level of detail and accuracy in capturing Christopher Reeve's portrayal of the Man of Steel is truly remarkable. The articulation, sculpting, and paintwork are all top-notch, making this figure a true masterpiece. Your in-depth review and insightful commentary provide a comprehensive look at the figure's features and accessories, giving viewers a clear understanding of its value and collectibility. Thank you Justin for sharing this amazing experience with us. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see more reviews from you!

      @JustinsCollection They need to get on this with so many improvements Hot Toys have made over the years, but of course, there are advantages vs disadvantages across the board. But I believe it can be done. Overall, Christopher Reeve (Rest in Paradise) is an icon.

  • @fjbrincat6786

    I bought this blind mainly out of nostalgia. Superman was one of the first movies I watched at the cinema with my older brother and parents. Including freight, duty, VAT this figure came expensive but let me tell you, very few figures made me smile broadly when opening the package as much as this figure did. Beautiful figure, beautiful colours. I'm smiling now as I watch this video. The print on the chest is a bit of disappointment but I'll live with it.

  • @eiadtarabulsi

    I picked this one up a while back and it was expensive, but it was well worth it. This is easily one of the best figures that Hot Toys have produced. When I picked it up from my local comic book store, it was either the Christopher Reeve Superman or the Michael Keaton Batman. It was a tough choice, but I ended up choosing Superman. The head sculpt is perfect. Christopher Reeve's likeness is 100% accurate. The eyes have a nice sense of realism and I like the facial expression. The skin tone looks great. The hair has been sculpted really well. The body is appropriately bulky and well proportioned. I love the vibrant blue, red, and yellow. I like the wire framed cape. Articulation is pretty good. I appreciate the fact that Hot Toys included a standard display stand and a Fortress of Solitude diorama display stand, which looks great. The box itself has the iconic Superman shield and it's simple and classic. The inclusion of the message "in Memory of Christopher Reeve" is a nice touch. The figure itself is an absolute masterpiece and a masterclass in craftsmanship. The only thing that you have to worry about is the Superman logo that's on the chest. You dont want to stretch the material too much for the fear of damaging it. This is definitely a grail piece for sure. It's a stunning figure, even after all these years and it holds up really well. Thanks, Justin! I appreciate the hard work! Keep it up! God bless and stay safe!

    I think if we mix all the different concepts of “grail” that people have, like technical aspects of the figure, cultural importance of the source material etc, we would have a top 3 something like this (the order can change):
    1 - Christopher Reeve Superman
    2 - DX13 battle damage Terminator
    3 - Robocop (Diecast)

    Hi Justin, it’s Rrr Mmmm here :) How are you? I’m absolutely in love with this presentation of the CReeves Superman. That ice base is stunning, the look of the base is just like it looks in the film. They did an excellent job with the figure though I thought Reeve was a bit larger, perhaps he appeared a bit larger to me at the time. Nevertheless this figure is exquisite. I just picked up my first Cavill Superman figure and I think it would be amazing to get this one for my collection. At the time this film came out it was absolute pandemonium, and I saw the first and second Reeve Superman film in the theatre.
    Even then there were events to celebrate the film, I remember the theatre I went to in New Mexico had a Superman look a like contest. It was so much fun! So glad they made this figure. Thanks for the video 💎😊

I was ready to kit bash my own using Crazy Toys Supes, a 1/6 Reeve head and a different 1/6 body. And before those parts arrived, I came across a Hot Toys one. I was able to get the evil Superman shortly after too. Then I used the China parts I ordered to kit bash a Clark Kent mid costume change :)

It would be awesome if they do flying boots by that I mean the feet’s in the flying position cuz I don’t mind the rubber boots.

    If I remember correctly, Superman IV came out 1987- so Chris Reeve’s last Superman was only two years away from Keaton’s Batman in 1989… and (someone correct me if I’m wrong) but I do remember that around that time discussions for a Superman V with Chris Reeve reprising the role were had, but unfortunately with his accident and other issues that movie of course never happened and they eventually started plans for the Tim Burton reboot that also didn’t happen.
    The point being- Chris Reeve and Keaton can absolutely belong together in a display, and there’s a reason a generation thinks of that pairing as their World’s Finest
