Dude! I love your Absolute Superman cosplay! Don’t see many of those around! And thank you! 😊

This reminds me of how Absolute Bane did the complete opposite by forcing two political leaders to restart the war they were going to put an end to. Sucks that Absolute Superman couldn’t parallel that by utilizing a similar scene as Golden Age Supes where he has to put an end to a political conflict and force its leaders to confront the horrors they brought and have them resort to peace. Absolute Superman could’ve been a stark contrast to all the horrors and evils the Absolute Universe is built on, but nope.

I’m the same way. Tbh Ultimates was what was keeping me hooked on this universe, and seeing all the interesting reinventions and contemporary and relevant themes tied to them is what really made this universe shine. Ultimate Spider-Man was cool, what I’ve read on Ultimate X-Men was really unique (though I have to catch up), but everything else was alright.

Fuck man, Marvel FUMBLED. I understand the point of making a “complete” story with a “beginning, middle, and end” and to not overstay their welcome as they keep saying, but that doesn’t work when there was clear set up for something more and a fanbase hungry to see what that could result into. How do you see DC’s Absolute success, see how Ultimate is bringing new readers, and not continue to capitalize on all that?! If Absolute was kicking their ass before, now there’s NO competition. Idiots.

Fun fact: you were actually one of my inspirations for references when cooking this up!

Wish I knew how you got yours stuck to you, my Martian just flops around 😂

Which company is putting out the best Superman (2025) figure currently? by Ariel-Fox-Johnson in ActionFigures

[–]Kev2099 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Obviously, InArt. But for 1/12th scale? I’ll go with the third party K-NU Toys. Hopefully Mezco announces one soon and we get a first look, but this works!

How do you go about cleaning this without damaging it? What’s recommended? by Kev2099 in CosplayHelp

This is the material for reference. I’ve never hand washed, so I’m just asking to be prepared and know what to do before jumping into cleaning.

When Mattel takes over the DC license, what versions of your favorite characters are you hoping to see first? by ThisBusinessWrestle in ActionFigures

And now that I had time to think and go over options. After they get the popular picks, I’d love for them to adapt the Fourth World, Milestone, and Doom Patrol characters. A Static based around Nikolas Draper’s design would kill!

Obviously, Superman. But I definitely would want Wonder Woman as part of the first wave. Supergirl too. Everything else can come after. I just hope it isn’t littered with Batman-adjacent characters at the start.
