After the rigours of the Pilgrim Observer build I thought I'd do a quick build of the new PL Superman that just turned up last week.
Quick rundown of the parts then on with the build....
Boxart is great....although I'd like to see more manufacturers leaving the logo off the boxtop, or maybe as a sticker on the shrinkwrap like with the deluxe Batmobile, so you could frame the artwork....
Head sculpt looks good and should paint up well....
Torso detail looks a little soft but should paint ok...
Arms and legs....I'll be removing the overlarge snapfit locators as I want to fit these after cleaning up the torso....
The cape is in two parts so expect a big seam to hide....
The chains are split into halves....might go with these or may replace them with real chain....
The base....think I'll paint this in the classic Red/Yellow....
A nice touch is the choice of decals AND stickers....not sure how opaque the colour is on the decals...will have to wait and see....
So on with the build....:
Superman Unchained

Re: Superman Unchained
It's good to see figures in normal Injection moulded plastic, will enjoy watching you build this.
(BTW: Detail on figures is usually more noticable after a cover over the original plastic colour, the torso may have more detail then you think)

Re: Superman Unchained
Assembly took about half an hour....clean up of the seams a little longer, here's the completed build up...chains and cape are just clipped on at the moment....
Without flash the detail in the face sculpt is more apparent....
Still need to clean up the chains and see to the seams at the shoulders....
The seam in the cape also needs filling....
