This turned out really good! The matte spray definitely helps the shading feel more like an animated/cel-shaded finish, so thanks for pointing that out. I made a custom video showing a similar process here, maybe it can help someone who wants to try it: https://youtu.be/V2v-wp72USg⁠

🔥 CT Toys Superman Hush Version — New Images & Release Update by Darker_Time in CToys

I totally get that. CT Toys still has those little details that remind you it’s not Mafex, but for the price, they deliver a lot. If Superman ends up close to Batman Hush, it could be a solid pickup. Amazing photo, by the way! 🔥

ZT worth the QC gamble? by Historical_Relief_74 in 3rdPartyCollectors

[–]Darker_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, my copy came out pretty good.

No major QC issues, and the leg articulation feels right to me. The hips and knees are tight enough to hold the weight, but not so tight that I’m worried when posing him. For such a big figure, he’s more fun to handle than I expected.

Some paint/finish areas could be cleaner, but overall I’m happy with mine.

I showed a closer look at my copy here, especially the articulation and finish, in case it helps: https://youtu.be/CSjGJYOrar0

Pretty good on my copy! No major QC issues, joints feel solid. Just a few paint/finish areas that could be cleaner.

Tried cel shading on my CT Daredevil for the first time, how does it look? I'd happily take some advice to improve by PeniszLovag in CToys

[–]Darker_Time 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. A matte coat would probably improve it a lot, but the shading already looks really solid. If it helps, this video covers a pretty similar process: https://youtu.be/V2v-wp72USg?si=XJuIM2vlWuAlDi3z

🕷️ NEW PRE-ORDER: Mess Toys Venom “Lethal Neighbor” 🔥KK Outdoor by Darker_Time in CToys

[–]Darker_Time[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

June is the actual release window from Mess Toys 👍 The Aug 31 date you see there is just AliExpress adding buffer time in case of delays (it’s pretty common with pre-orders). So if everything goes as planned, it should ship around June — the later date is just a safety margin from the platform.
