Kneel !!!
After some speculation and a few leaked convention photos of rather bootleg quality, Hot Toys has officially announced their 1/6 scale Man of Steel, General Zod figure! Posted in their General Zod album on their Facebook page the update arrived unceremoniously last night. This nerd of doesn't get too excited nowadays but news of this release has me giddy with anticipation! I loved Man of Steel, and Michael Shannon's scenery chewing portrayal of the might General was one of many favourite parts.
The head sculpt, with Michael Shannon's terrifying grimace, is spot on with the boiling rage of the character. Either boiling rage, or major constipation, you choose. Either way I'd be pissed too. From the scars and moles to his wrinkles and teeth, this is a tremendous piece of work.
All is not sunshine and roses. Everyone's favourite Hong Kong toymakers have gone a little slim on the accessories. A switch out armoured head, 3 pairs of hands and a stand. Oh and what appears to be a removable cape. Come the fuck on. I get that the suit is well sculpted, but the accessory count is still pretty lame. I'd let it slide if the armour were removable to show off Zod's black version of the super onesie, or if the cape were that feathery/fur material used in the film. Not likely though. Either way, The General will make more than a few collectors kneel and will be a must buy for CBT!
Enough talk! Enjoy the pics below courtesy Hot Toys' Facebook page
