What's your latest non MOTU toy/item score?

[Ornclown]

Has there ever been a good 6 inch figure of Christopher Reeve's Superman?

I can't think of any in the 6 inch scale... however, the Neca 7" Reeves Superman is incredible. Great sculpt, articulation and paint.

If you buy one, I recommend buying loose from a seller who has posed the figure before, or if it comes from the second batch that Neca produced. The first batch had some hip / thigh QC issues.

Has there ever been a good 6 inch figure of Christopher Reeve's Superman?

I'm convinced that there must be some huge hang-up with Reeve's estate regarding likeness rights, because aside from NECA's figure and one single 4-inch (I think; roughly that scale, regardless) "Multiverse" figure near the end of Mattel's run with the DC license, there have never been ANY figures that actually bear his likeness. Terrence Stamp's Zod also got a 4-inch figure but no 6-inch. None of the other characters from those movies have ever had figures at all, either, so maybe it's not Reeve's likeness but something to do with the entire film series. But I'm inclined to believe it's more related to Reeve since at various points Mattel managed to put out figures based on other famous DC actors like Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, Keaton's Batman, etc., not to mention an entire line of Batman '66. But I don't actually know; all I know is there must be a very big problem with the rights to the Superman movies because if any company could make figures based on them, you know they absolutely would have by now. The fact that it's never been done* implies that the license somehow, for some reason, costs more than it would be worth to make the toys.

The closest thing to an "official" Reeve Superman that's ever been done in 6-inch scale, was when DC Direct put out its "Commander Kal-El" (think that was the name) figure for its "New Krypton" series, of which Gary Frank was the penciler and Frank always draws his Superman identically to Reeve, therefore the figure is pretty much as close as mass-produced action figures can get insofar as the likeness; however, since it's not "Superman" but rather Kal-El in Kryptonian Military attire, it's kind of a dud figure that most people would not want except for the head. Lots of customizers have bought that figure and simply swapped the head onto other "proper" Superman figures, but that of course had the side effect of making that figure quite expensive and hard to come by, these days.

I bit the bullet and ordered some 3D-printed custom heads from an eBay seller, including a Reeve head. I'm just going to put that on a Mattel DCU Classics Superman figure and repaint it to the aqua blue to finally have a well-articulated Reeve Superman figure in "modern standard" scale. That's most likely as close as anyone's gonna get, unfortunately.

*When I say "never been done", I mean as proper action figures with actual face likenesses of the actors. I'm aware that back in the day Mego did officially-licensed Superman movie toys, but 1. I count those as "dolls", not "action figures", and 2. Like every movie-based toy line until a decade or so ago, any actual resemblance between Actor and Toy was incidental at best. So as far as I'm concerned they "don't count".

Likewise, there's the Mezco One:12 Collective Reeve Superman, and that's 6-inch... but with the cloth goods outfit and accessories, I'm tempted to label those "dolls" rather than "action figures", as well.

Y'know... I've only seen it in pictures, so maybe it looks better in person, but... I actually don't love it, in photos. I plan to get it one day "Just Because", and since nobody is going to mass-produce a better one anytime soon, but for one thing it looks VERY scrawny in every single pic I've ever seen of it; Reeve himself was a bit slight of frame, sure, but he wasn't THAT skinny as Superman.

I'm not in much rush to get it also because the market is flooded with Chinese bootlegs (right down to "authentic" NECA packaging) and I'm admittedly not savvy enough to parse Real from Fake, other than the fact that the ones "proven" to be real are a ton more expensive than the others. It seems like 99% of what I see online are the bootlegs, though. So maybe I just won't bother.

I only own a few NECA figures, and I'm split on them in general - for every amazing thing they do, there's tons of brittle garbage, too - but the Reeve Superman honestly looks like one of the weakest efforts they ever put out, to me. Visually, it simply isn't up to the standards set by most of their other output.

If I get one and change my mind, I'll be sure and say so. Picture-wise, it underwhelms.

I love TRON…the original movie is part of my childhood, it captured my imagination! I was pleasantly surprised to find this set of 7 inch figures along with a plethora of other items being sold in The Magic Kingdom after TRON Lightcycle Run opened…the figures are fantastic and the package design with light up features just take it over the top!

That really does look cool

[Dcr4]

I think that Tron set was a sdcc exclusive last year. I didnt get it but was happy that they did something with the arcade game, which I'm a big fan of (both versions).
I do have the Tron sdcc exclusives from the previous years before...the VHS Tron and the Tomy homage set, which I still absolutely love.

I want those Golden Axe figures very badly.

Lock your doors, Orn. My lack of impulse control is as legendary as my terrible life choices.

Went to bits of one of the nearby downtowns that I never visit and managed to get:

-A book-themed pin at an indie bookstore (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
-A vintage Wacky Packages sticker (the Foolball one (parody of Topps' football cards. sticker was from 1973))

I also got my order from Squishable that I had ordered last week for their birthday sale. There, I got:
-A micro Squish keychain squishable of the Venus Flytrap
-A mini Squish mystery pull (ended up with the mini Strawberry Cow)

[ZootyCutie]

A bit back I ordered from the site Shifty Thrifting. They create "Junk Boxes" of thrifted goods based around themes. I got the Pop Culture Tees one, which guarantees 2-3 pop culture-related shirts, along with other random goodies. This is what I got in mine:

-A Cookie Monster t-shirt
-A tie-dye Jurassic Park logo tank top
-An "ugly sweater" style Sailor Moon sweatshirt
-A recipe card from the 70s
-A Pukeymon trading card (this was a Pokémon parody right during its start)
-A worm-on-a-string
-A sticker sheet of "abnormal" label stickers
-A kiss cut HunterxHunter sticker
-A sticker of the shop's logo

Not a bad haul for 14 dollars and leaving it to chance!

I thought brittle plastic was an issue with NECA...wouldn't a
Loose figure be more....well, loose in the joints?

McFarlane Mortal Kombat Shadow of Spawn Action Figure came from ToyWiz. Not a fan of the barbed wire chains but overall a solid release. Now to figure out how to make custom bendy chains.
