Kotobukiya DC Comics Superman for Tomorrow ArtFX Statue

First of all, when I received this figure----the bottom of my mouth literally hit the floor folks! This is truly what a Superman statue should look like. Developed and produced by Kotobukiya the very stance and image of this Superman statue ranks 100 points on my ' You gotta have it ' scale. I have the Suoerman - AFX52 version and the recent Man of Steel statue by DC and they BOTH do no come any closer to a vibrant image and realistic dogma of this very figure. I have never seen such a well-conceptualized and designed figure; which truly conveys what the Man of Steel should be represented to be. The form is massive that it expresses pure power. The body proportions are equal to the physique of Superman. The stance reflects determination and focus to what's on his mind, that is to save the earth. The colors are so true to form and the very effect of his red, blue and yellow costume. The red cape of this figure, seems to have its own expressive-nature in its self. Red and flowing with glory and have well the cape arguments his posture is very powerful. Every detail was thought out in how to present what a Superman statue or figure should look. The skin-tones are realistic, to include some touches of red , orange and black that gives his total facial expression as not being to harsh or angry. His signature ' S ' on his chest is the most important aspect of this overall design. It is traditional and yet simple. Anyone who has ever heard of Superman, first looks at the emblem for a level of authenticity. Also being displayed on the back, of his cape is another touch of uniqueness. The emblem on his chest has a relief quality; which I believe further adds beauty to this statue. The base which comes with this figure is almost in a class by itself. The ' S ' symbol on the base, had varying degrees of thickness and reliefs. It is just as important as the figure itself, but when you place the Superman on its decorative base it simply increases its value and yet it's very expressive-nature to the viewer. Folks! Purchase this truly one if a kind statue, before the value I increases; which may be very soon.

This statue is excellent. The low-lights in the muscles make the details really pop under any lighting. It feels sturdy due to its PVC construction. Not too heavy, but durable. I wouldn't want to drop it, but mostly because of his really majestic cape might be damaged. If I were forced to make a criticism of it, I'd say that the face could stand to deal with just a bit more color to make it look more naturally-toned, but the sculpt is still excellent and with good lighting, the jaw and nose especially look good. If you can snag this for $160 or so, I'd say it's a must-have for any fan of the Man of Steel.

Words can simply not express how fantastic this statue is. I was actually surprised by just how big he is. This figure's sculpt (Based on Jim Lee's art) is excellent as is the paint application. Supes stands roughly 12" tall and comes with the S shield as a base to stand on. This is the perfect collectible for any Superman fan. Its a bit pricey but well worth it.If I had one criticism its that the otherwise great packaging's plastic windows are buckled a bit. The packaging features 3 diecut windows making the figure easy to display in box. He looks great next to Koto's Batman:Black Costume statue.

This Superman statue is truly as amazingas the character.The detail,colors,sculpt, pose,size and weight are perfect.I tried to get it years ago but missed out.I paid more than the $160-$180 price it was going for.I finally got it for $240 and I wasn't disappointed at all.This Jim Lee statue is one of the most amazing statues of Superman I own.For any fan of the man of steel this is a keeper!!!

Awesome statue, the detail is amazing and the size adds so much presence to the piece. and I want to give it 5 stars but the first one I received had a terrible paint defect and I returned it. Since these statues are selling at >2X retail the quality needs to be close to 100% IMO. The replacement statue I received literally had the left leg detached. Thankfully the limbs are molded separately and attached so it was a clean fix with some superglue and there weren't any other objectionable defects so I was able to keep it. But again for the price the quality needs to be flawless. Grab one while you can, prices are getting ridiculous

I have seen many versions of Superman in statues over the years and I have to say that this one by the great Kotobukiya company is one of the all time best. The facial expresion is great as well as the dynamic pose that the Man of Steel is placed in. And the price was great too. This statue really stands out from the crowd and will look amazing when displayed. I highly recommend getting this if you have been looking for that certain statue that best exemplifies Superman and superheroes in general.

This was better than I actually hoped for. I bought this 8 months ago and it is still in great condition. It was made very well and the detail is amazing. IT DAMN BETTER BE with what I had spent on it. I got lucky I bought it when I did. Its $300 bucks more than what I originally bought it for. It is an amazing statue and the top In my collection. If you got that kind of money , than go for it

It took a while for me to get use to the face on this statue. In my opinion, Kotobukiya always has a sligh "Anime" look to the faces of their statues. I'm still not real sure about this one. Seems like Superman should be an "All American" Icon. But, I also understand that, to attract a younger audience, The characters must evolve in todays world. After all, I want the characters to live on. Overall this is a nice sculpt and great paint. It fits nicely with the Batman of the same size. If you like Superman, Buy it!
