Christopher Reeves/ Superman Cinemaquette



If you're not familiar with the "Cinemaquette" range you won't be aware that they're some of the most highly detailed and expensive collectible statuettes in the world, and sought after by some of the wealthiest and most hardcore of fans.

Toynami, the parent company that runs the Cinemaquette range, have released some amazing characters in the past including Aragorn, Terminator 2, Indiana Jones, The Godfather and Predator (my previous favourite) among others. These 16" - 25" products are unbelievably detailed and come with real clothing, human hair and various other details that make them one of the top movie collectibles that any geek can get hold of.


The last release was the awesome Bruce Lee version that has been ultra popular on the market but it's the new one that I'm posting about primarily here... Christopher Reeve/ Superman...

A few weeks ago the official website gave fans a mini teaser by putting up the Superman logo and then at last weeks San Diego Comic Con they unveiled it for all to see.

Below are a few of the pictures taken at the event by Wetacollectors.com which show some of the intricate detail. I admit these pictures make it look like the evil Supes from the third movie (a bit greasy and gaunt looking) but otherwise it's a stunning collectible for fans.

The price hasn't been set yet but as Forbiddenplanet.co.uk is the official distributor it should be up pretty soon. You'll be looking at around £1,500 - £2,000, or maybe even more, so start saving your pennies if you're interested!!!
