A Real Doll...

Enjoy this unreleased publicity portrait of Christopher Reeve for Italian Vogue from 1989 - Or instead marvel at the fact it is actually a shot of a modified Hot Toys Superman figure by Duabelas Custom Works complete with rooted hair and casual attire. A true work of art...

T-800 Reeve.

heh what they could do is give the HT Reeve other makeovers - like Deathtrap, SiT etc, someones already done an evil Superman one:

could even go so far as to do the roles Reeve turned down like The Running Man, Total Recall etc and silly stuff like putting it in the 'Superman Returns' costume etc

Hi there -

Thanks for your comment!!
There should absolutely be more customs of this great figure (indeed I'm working on my own:) but the defining factor is that its so expensive and so precious in its original condition to collectors that have waited years for it -
But I'm sure we'll see more if this great example is anything to go by...
