Superman The Movie - Custom 3.75 inch action figure project and Palitoy / Kenner cardbacks *FULLY PAINTED PHOTOS*

Which one of these Flash and Spider-Man card backs do you all prefer? Can't make up my mind! (I know it's the wrong Flash figure in the mock-up. I couldn't find a good enough photo of the correct red and black vest version and forgot to take a photo of my own figure at home).

Not a fan of either of the Spider-Man poses on the cards. I know it’s hard to find hi-rez files out there. But more like these maybe?

The problem with trying to find suitable photos is that they need to be not too wide and they need enough height so the character can be positioned in a good place to the right of the bubble without having to add extra parts of the photo that don't exist to fill up the space. Of all the ones I've done so far, I've struggled the most with Spidey.
 
Figures are place holders for now (but you get the idea). Imagine how cool it would have been back in the late 70's / early 80's to see these on the shelf hangers with the Star Wars figures too.

Thanks. I really struggled to get anything decent for Spidey, but that one seems to work ok although it's not the best resolution. It's also really tricky to position the logo because of that big upwards curl that it's got.

The new Spider-Man is great!

It’s a good photo. It’s worth it. As for the logo, you could rotate is down right a bit and fill some of that dead space. It’s a pain but it’s looking good!!!!
 
Is the Superman project 100% completed? Is that the final look of the action figure? I see you are eager to move on to others. Lol

Those are temp figures he put in for size and reference. He’s modeling the actual figures
In 3D to match the actual characters from the films we’ve got time to wait still. [emoji23]

Some people don’t bother to read previous parts of the thread and just reply to the latest posts. It is the lazy aspects of forum life these days. :lol:
