Those little shots are supposedly from either storyboards, or pre-vis that Alan Horn used to create....pretty much scenes written directly for the film. I hope the movie looks that bright and eye-catching.

[Zakk Sabbath]

Wow, cool find. He looks like Christopher Reeve in a couple of those. It's funny, the art makes him look so much older, expecially that one on the back of him with the classic hands on the hips pose.

[Pickle-El]

I know some people are into collecting all this stuff....this was posted at The Planet, and looks pretty damn cool.

that last pic looks good

[SolidSnakeMGS]

That last pic looks...haunting.

[Octoberist]

The last pic looks brillant!

I HOPE that Brandon's hair will blackish looking, like on those DC DIRECT statues. There were some pictures where Brandon's hair looked like a really light brown. (ESP the one picture where it's an upclose of his face, with him look towards HIS left)

[batman44]

Sweet, who's making that top figure with all the articulation cause it doesn't look like the mattel one's...........crap, why couldn't BB get a good figure like that.

[JTIZZLEVILLE]

Why is it that drawing like this make the costume look soooooooo much better than in real life? It was the same way with the batman begins costume.

[JTIZZLEVILLE]

double post

[Mentok]

I am not much of a toy fan but, I was looking at getting something from the DCD line if they were any good.

The Lex/Supes one looks like the best one to get.

[Mentok]

Why is it that drawing like this make the costume look soooooooo much better than in real life? It was the same way with the batman begins costume.



Because Horn has no real life constraints when drawing Supes. He is free to make it more like the comics.


It does make me wish thats the kind of muscle definition we had in the suit though.

[Dr. Fate]

Why is it that drawing like this make the costume look soooooooo much better than in real life? It was the same way with the batman begins costume.
I was just asking myself that very same question.

what is going on in the black and white picture?

[spencer6891]

If that superposeable figure is from Mattel....then....I take back all the bad things I said about them (I still do not forgive them for the BB line, though). The figure looks great. :up:

[Comic Book Boy]

Thas kinda cool, super-posable figures annoy the hell outta me though.
I like the cloth cape.

[Man-E-Toys]

the face looks like crap. nothing like routh.

[Man-E-Toys]

too bad the face sculpts dont look like routh. the lex and superman one looks good though.

[The Punisher]

[millennium movies]

Sorry for double-posting, but are there any other pictures than the above ones?

[TheSuperBatFan]

Horn's art is great, don't get me wrong, but this calendar annoys me so very much. Harry Potter. Star Wars. They get actual stills from the movies in their calendars. What do we get, promotional and licensing art. Don't get me wrong, Horn's art is great, but I wanted stills damn it.

[CGHulk]

Why does Superman's hands have yellow/orange glow around them?!

[SingItWithMeNow]

Why does Superman's hands have yellow/orange glow around them?!

because he's awesome.

[Octoberist]

It would of been better if there were more divirsity in the illustrations. Where's Lex or Lois?

[dark_b]

i knew it that someone will open a new thread about this. hehe :)

[JAKnighton]

Why does Superman's hands have yellow/orange glow around them?!Superman's wearin' da bling bling.

[DeFett]

Lets get this back on subject.

The Supes and Lois one is awesome very art deco looking in it's unpainted state, very classy looking as well. Any pics with the painted version or are they just doing them like that?

[The Punisher]

Oooh, so macho! You just put me in my place, didn't you!

Yeah, you go ahead and quote the images. Show us all how intelligent you are. :)

Macho? I'm not even saying it to sound macho. Wheres the sense in that? All i'm saying is that quoting an image is the same as quoting art in the art thread. It's the same exact thing. An image you like simply quote it and comment on it. I always do that. Solid saying to stop is silly, it's done all the time.

[BobJM]

In a recent interview with Wizard magazine, Kate Bosworth state that she indeed had a figure that will be part of the set, along with the Barbie doll. I hppe this is true, cause I think that that was BB's biggest mistake: not adding any supporting characters.

Can anyone confirm/deny this??

[The Punisher]

Yes.

[TheBat812]

that's a damn shame.:O hopefully it's decent quality.

[The Punisher]

That could be right, i looked at it again and it does say S3. Reason because it's abbreviated for Select Superman Sculpts.

[lujho]

I wish they'd sculpt Superman like he really is (a guy wearing a tight suit) rather than adding all that definition and making him look like a painted naked guy.

I know people actually wanted the suit to look like that but it looks silly. Anyway, high-end statues like this should replicate the way he looks in the movie as much as possible, rather than embellishing them with invented detail. I want a miniature replica of Brandon Routh as Superman, not someone's idealized version.

(1) The color of Superman's suit is too Damn Dark.

(2) The \s/ on the chest is to damn smalll .

[Saph]

(1) The color of Superman's suit is too Damn Dark.
Correction: The suit is actually brighter than the version you will find in the comics today.

In today's comics, the blue is dark, while the red is bright. In the movie, the red is dark and the blue is bright.

Since the blue is the largest amount of colour on the costume, this means now there is more bright colour on the movie suit than the comic's suit.

As for the S being small, it looks just as big as Neal Adams drew it to me.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f254/james-knighton/supermanreturns5.jpg

I was refering that the statue's blue color is more lighter compare to that pic, smartass. I never said it extremely dark or like that. Comparing that pic to the statue, the pic blue color is a little darker. :rolleyes:

I thought New Krypton will look like FOS.

But if NK is full of kryptonite, how Superman will destroy it???

Who is that character?

Is he one of Luthor's assistant or maybe another villain?

No, I hope he isn't Lex.

And Penn have a short haircut.

Maybe it is assistant of Lex.

But I hope he is not a supervillain.

Please somebody answer on my question (post #118).

[Saph]

I was refering that the statue's blue color is more lighter compare to that pic, smartass.Calm the hell down. I never said it extremely dark or like that. Comparing that pic to the statue, the pic blue color is a little darker. :rolleyes:Yeah, a little, tiny bit darker. But overall, not dark at all. The way you phrased it made it look like you thought the blue was dark in the film.

(1) BIG \S/ on The Chest

(2) Right colors [Bright Red & Blue]



http://www.dccomics.com/slideshows/toyfair_2006/slide_images/3.jpg
Superboy

(1) Small \s/ on the chest

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/tifflover/Picture692.jpg

Hmmm Smaller Raised \S/ on the chest of the one doing the Superman #1 pose....does that mean hes Superboy?? Hell no, that IS Superman in one of his many incarnations.

Secondly I dont ever remember 'Superboy' wearing darker colors. He always wore flamboyantly bright colors.... so the crimson on the SR suit doesnt prove anything.

[Saph]

Neal Adams used a small \S/. I don't see how a costume makes Routh 'Superboy', as to be a boy Routh needs to look young.

[Kane]

And he looks his age or older, which is good. Hes certainly not a boy.

[Cinemaman]

I think Routh is quite enough look like Superman.

[Kane]

And your right about Neal Adams. It actually looks great, I prefer it to the larger \S/. This looks neater and sleeker.

http://www.spidermedia.ru/gallery/superman/super026.jpg

[KrimSon]

Routh looks a lot like Neal Adam's Supes. Especially in profile.

[Kane]

Which is what Singer wanted. A Superman with elements from all of the decades to show and celebrate familiarity with the character from 1938 to now.

[EXCELSIOR]

GUYS,
Calm down...
You have to remember that most of these images (toys) are the prototypes or mock-ups (look at the seams & color-chipping) the colors etc WILL vary once they hit the shelves in a few months... some of them are even photos of what the toys MAY look like... besides the lighting conditions are never the best on the convention floor!

Also many toys are based on events of the movie, but far more are simply made up stuff... we all know Batman in BB only had ONE bat-suit, but the toy line reflected almost 8 variations of the costume and gimicks... keep that in mind when trying to piece the 'story-line' for SR from these toys...

I've not read through the previous posts in this thread, so if I say what someone else has already said, then I apologise :)

When the toys for Batman begins appeared I was impressed, I was impressed by the quality and I was happy to hand over my hard earned cash when my kids began asking for "Batman this" and "Batman that"...
I hated the Hulk film, but I thought the toys that were bought out along with the film were pretty good (infact i've seen many a battle in the kids room where the hulk has taken on Batman in the Batmobile... Hulk loses of course)..
So with the advent of Supermans return to the big screen I had high hopes for the toy line.
Big mistake.
Am I the only one here that thinks that the images we've seen so far are a huge let down? I sincerely hope the images are prototype shots and that we can expect a better finished product because frankly boys and girls the stuff we're seeing is total crap (except perhaps for the excellent DC direct painted statue line.. But they're not exactly toys are they?)

Nah. Few toy lines based off superhero movies has some toys of characters that were never in the movie. Like the F4.

I for one think (just like the Batman Begins figures) that these figures are nothing compared to what DC Direct COULD do. BUT I do think that mattle has landed some basic superman figures and I indeed will pic some up. Not to forget that I'm sure Mattel will make a Collecters Exclusive figure JUST like they did with batman begins.

TO me this one is perfect, he has good detail and the he has ball joint shoulders. I like it.

[ak.]

Concerning the image above of Supes surrounded by flames - Okay, it could be something else entirely, but I always had a vision that in this film, we'll see Supes flying so fast, a kind of air friction would build up around him, causing flames like that (in the upper atmosphere).

I think that would be a really, really great way of portraying his immense speed, and something we haven't seen before.
Mind you, it could be something else entirely that the action figure is based around. But what I've just described is something I've always wanted to see.

I believe we probably will get this. Supes bursting into flames entering the Earth is like the same way the NASA spaceship is when it reach the Earth's atmosphere. I think we even see a little hint of the flame in the teaser. The one at the end where he flew fast through Earth. You could see what look like little flames as soon he flew through.

Yea the last shot in the teaser is him burning a little as he re-enters the atmo while also creating a sonic boom.

But he also can fly so fast to have a flame around him to destroy NK.

Remember the scene in the matrix 3, when Smith and Neo falls, it damaged buidings.

And I think Superman wil use it wigh more big power to destroy this continent.

[antmanx68]

Although I imagine most of you would have seen this its pretty new to me and I havent seen anything on here about it. (sorry if its been posted).

I know this isnt the products section, but i think this toy has to have something to do with the story. If my eyes dont decieve me, its a black Lex Luthor with dreadlocks.

http://photos.superherotimes.com/showphoto.php?photo=8563&cat=1040

Now we know that toy companies go nuts and make a hundred variations of every character that just sit on shelves (lava battle damaged Batman), but what the crap is up with this? Does Lex disguise himself as a black man at some point? I have no idea.... I'm just looking for some kind of info here (even if you just tell me that i'm seeing things).

[Cinemaman]

I think this toy isn't Luthor.

[BrollySupersj]

It's not.

[Superbeasto]

Rasta Luthor?:eek:

Just kidding, that is no Luthor

[antmanx68]

I was thinking that too, but the sculpt on the face sure looks like spacey, and he's obviously a villain (big kryptonite gun)... its odd. Maybe its just a generic henchman toy that they used a painted Luthor head for just because its a mock up.

[antmanx68]

ah, i see this has been covered already, yea looks like spacey to me.

[M.O.Steel]

i really think that's spacey disguised as a balck guy because there is also a lex luthor toy that looks EXACTLY like that, same gun, bullets, armor, and everything, except the head. i don't think that's soemone else.

[Super Kal]

[Mentok]

oh god... I cant believe it. They actually made belt buckles...

You know your going to wear them :p

[Pickle-El]

oh god... I cant believe it. They actually made belt buckles...


As has been said, the marketing for this movie is going to be outstanding.

'Think B89'.

[Super Kal]

You know your going to wear them :p
heh, not in this lifetime...

[skruloos]

oh god... I cant believe it. They actually made belt buckles...
Superman belt buckles have been around for a while. I used to own a pair as well as Batman ones.

You know your going to wear them :p
The only question in my mind is whether to get the silver one or the red on blue.

[Mentok]

heh, not in this lifetime...

You would get them if they didnt have the \S/ on the buckle :D

[Nightwing1977]

oh god... I cant believe it. They actually made belt buckles...

Dude, you need to get one. They can attract chicks, you know? Seeing the "S" on your belt buckle, they will think something "Down Under" is super. Hence the "S" on the belt buckle. ;) :D

[Cinemaman]

WOW!

That is cool!

Wait a minute, wait a minute, I know this one, it's the CAN YOU READ MY MIND scene. :O

I don't understand this statue. How is lois floating upwards? it would make sense if it was inverted, with superman on the top and lois on the bottom. can someone explain this to me. Thanks.

[Mr. Thing]

with superman on the top and lois on the bottom.

Hahaha. :o

[Super Kal]

You would get them if they didnt have the \S/ on the buckle :D
i just wouldn't get one period... I already have enough belts to last me

[Sverdlovski]

Hahaha. :o

:D:up::up::up:

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I want a mofo'ing belt buckle!! Can't decide between the silver or red though. Seriously, those are sweet.

[Excel]

theres so much crap being made for this... i knew jon peters would do something right...

[Mr. Socko]

I'm getting the blue and red belt buckle, Superman Metropolis Monopoly, A costume, and tons of figs.

with superman on the top and lois on the bottom.

LMAO, but ofcourse Lois likes to be on top sometimes.

That's going to be a cool scene in the film. :up:

It looks great, but I don't get what's going on besides a nice pose. Is she falling or did he bring her up there?

[The Punisher]

I'm sure he brought her up there.

[hulkamania85]

Plus it looks like she's going to pull a Vicki Vale and keep losing her shoes.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I think he's throwing her in orbit after he discovers she had a baby with some other man.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I think he's throwing her in orbit after he discovers she had a baby with some other man.

Or she suggested Ratner direct the next one.

[CConn]

I don't understand this statue. How is lois floating upwards? it would make sense if it was inverted, with superman on the top and lois on the bottom. can someone explain this to me. Thanks.Could be that he lifted her up or something, could be inverted as you said, or, most likely yet, it's just a cool pose they decided to do.

[Mr. Socko]

Those are awsome! I gotta get me some of those busts.

[Sverdlovski]

They look nothing like Routh... and the Lex one looks nothing like Spacey

[BrollySupersj]

I wonder if the Mattel figures will go onto ebay early like the Batman Begins figures did.
