disagree, it has 70-80 resemblance. For such an expensive figure it could do better to get 90% resemblance. Even a $20 bucks figure mould with AI tech can achieve at least 70% resemblance
I do not require any other versions of Superman, past or future. I have no desire to watch additional Superman films. "Man of Steel" is the ultimate movie for me.
This is so beautiful! It really bums me out knowing we won't get anymore Cavill Superman. This looks exactly like Superman to me. The suit. The musculature. I love it.
Best look at the JND Superman so far!! Finally someone who doesn't have super harsh lighting which causes strong shadows and over exposed areas which lead to too many contrasting points. Both portraits look phenomenal in your shots! I know you didn't like the regular as much but for me it looked really great and I personally prefer it over the laser eyes exclusive. Thanks for sharing Art! I just can't wait to get mine. 😍🔥
glad you like it and congrats on getting this. i usually shoot my video in natural light so it's easy on the eyes and get to see the color for what it is. appreciate the comment!
i think it looks great. totally see Henry Cavill. even the real actor with a different expression will make them look off from what you think they should look like. i see a tremendous amount of detail and quality. by far more life like than any prime one Cavill superman piece ive ever seen. and that base is the most elaborate JND ive ever see. i think the gold accent really pops and looks amazing. agree with others that how you kept the suspense up to reveal the portrait was really cool.
I think what looks weird with the full body Cavill Superman is simply the angle we are looking at his face. When you see him in photos, it's always straight on, but the statue his head is titled down, so it's an angle of his face we don't normally see or are not used to seeing him. People's facial features become distorted at different angle. Otherwise, I think it's pretty dead on. As someone whose done a extremely detailed portrait of his Superman, I think it looks great.
Thanks for the review, Personally, I own the JND superman too, Guess it is much better seeing in person and the suit, thanks JND did adjust the painting and better than prototype. For the likeness, I guess, JND always go for something different to stand out, like they pick the rare expression to match their landing pose design, therefore, might be the reason, it is a bit not that "Henry". Overall, agreed with you, I would say it is about 85% for the normal head!!!!
it could be bc of the expression that is throwing the likeness off too. the best likeness i have seen is from Infinity Studio with their first Cavill life size bust. even that, has no expression.
That's pretty slick to be honest. Henry in the photos compared to the statue is more mild looking, while this one seem to be ready to battle. (serious) But, I like it better.
I think what's throwing the buyer off about the Statue face is that Henry Cavill's Superman don't sport the s-curl more just the slick back look, Camille didn't sport the s-curl not until the end of Black Adam where he made a cameo
Cheekbones. All because of the cheekbones. On laser eyes they are much more correct. In the training portrait, they made a slight shading, thereby stretching him out and making him thinner.
Thank you very much for this unboxing/review! I enjoyed a lot, especially the comparison with the Prime 1 version. I just miss to see it side by side with the JND Wonder Woman as well, though!
my pleasure! ah yes, i didn't compare it to any other JND pieces. didn't want the video to be too long either but will see how they make Batfleck to complete the trio.
This guy has the best statue collection. I found his channel as I was getting out of the statue game. I’m selling all my marvel, MOTU, and robocop collection. Statues have become absolutely ridiculously expensive. I can afford them if I wanted to continue collecting but at some point, at least for me, it didn’t make sense anymore.
This is hands down in my opinion perfection, if I had a complaint I would say that he shouldn't have an s-curl that should be brushed back but other than that it's perfect !
I think that the laser eyes 👀 portrait is a better headsculpt 🤷 It looks much more detailed and the paint application seems much more deliberate. That's a great looking headsculpt 👍 If JND studios released a civilian Clark Kent in casual clothing like they did with Bruce Wayne, I think that the neutral headsculpt would look better on that body 🎉😊 Good video 📹 😀
The problem with the head is the forehead, to long if you take a pic of the head and reduce the forehead it looks dead on ! btw love this channel amazing collection ! big hello from Dominican Republic !
Conclusion: Better than the P1S Superman, but neither are perfect. I'm a JND statue collector myself and I think headsculpt is just not their strength. Great detail, but lacks likeness. Their John Wick's likeness is also far behind when comparing to Blitzway.
i agree with you. i see the improvements on the base and they have shown us that they can sculpt resins equal to or better than some other companies that's been in the game for a long time.
It's hard to judge the photos against most likely photoshopped images. The 2 photos don't even look like the same person. I think it is beautiful and I thought Cavill with the reveal. Nice piece!!
My first reaction seeing his face revealed was '' HOLY CRAP THATS CAVIL, IT LOOKS AMAZING '' . So I don't see anything off as you said here, imo it looks exactly like Cavil does.
Another second feeling is that the chin is more elongated than it should be. The Cavill has almost rectangular facial features and jaw. Here he is thinner and elongated. He should have stronger cheekbones.
It’s the eyes, I think. When you can’t see the eyes (like in the laser eye version) it’s easier to sell the illusion. It’s like…did you see The Flash movie? When Nicolas Cage shows up? For a second there, when you couldn’t see his eyes cause he was shooting lasers, I was like “yea, that’s Nic Cage.” But then when he stopped shooting lasers and you saw his CG fake eyes I was like “nope, that is not a human person at all. Illusion is gone.” Maybe the same kinda thing is happening here…?
On another note specific to the statue. I love Henry’s portrayal of Superman on the big screen. That being said I think the statue is amazing, just not $3000. I looked at some other sites and it’s going for $3000 in the U.S. also. Just don’t think it’s worth the price. I would step to that around $1500 but thats it. Great review and you still rock the best statue collection. I’m getting out of the game but still love watching your unboxings.
JND is super real, that is amazing. Prime 1 can do a refresh or redesign on the hand a face head model. The Detail on JND with the heat vision eyes , very close to real life. The normal face model of JND has Henry with a worry face instead of a serious face. Henry should of had the screaming face or a little angry. Superman never looks like he is going to cry.
Laser eye portrait looks absolutely great but the normal portrait is definitely not for the price you pay. It's maybe 70% for me. Thanks for the awesome video Art.
I think it is a fantastic piece, I love the suit, the textures look amazing. With regards to the regular portrait, I feel like it is the eyes that are making it look a little off. When you put the two heads next to eachother in the review, I moved my finger against the screen. When I covered the top half and could only see the nose and mouth, it 100% looks like Henry. When you cover the bottom half and only see the eyes and head, it doesn’t. I still think it is a great piece but the price tags of JNDs for me are just too high. I live in the UK so by the time I add import tax, it would be close to $3800.
Detail is insane, but they've mixed his face with JL resurrection scene where he was a little more gaunt, and his suit, which is a little mix of Wheadons JL and MoS.
Side on or angled it looks exactly like Cavill, but looking straight on towards him it looks wrong. laser eye looks way better, but it's lips are wider and the base of it's nose is also wider
Price like this is why I do custom collectibles. I don’t have this kind of disposable income. Ofcourse I have a sculpture degree. I could just sculpt it myself
Everything looks great, however, I think the blue in the suit is too light, it should be way more of a darker blue, hence that's why the muscle wash lines look way to dark. Nevertheless, great figure overall.
The sculptor took a bit or artistic license and parted the hair on the correct, comic-accurate side, as opposed to how the movie stylist had it parted. Parted this way, the hair creates another little 's', which is why it drove me nuts in the films seeing his hair parted on the wrong side.
