I'm looking at putting together a full collection of 'media' Supermen and thought I'd start at the beginning.

Anyone make headsculpts for these two gentlemen?

Never seen a Kirk Alyn, and the only 1/6 George Reeves sculpts I've seen were the old IDC garage kits of Superman and Clark Kent. Sorry.

Ada from ebay just completed a Goerge Reeves sculpt. I would post a pic but her email says not to. If you get on her mailing list she will send it to you.

I just got an e-mail from Ada Chan of a new sculpt of George Reeves. You can write Ada directly at: [email protected] . Looks very good.

Do those outfits they sell come even close to fitting modern (Dragon/HT/etc) 1/6 scale stuff?

Yes, their made for Captain Action, but will fit a Dragon body.

Just be warn, Wes takes his time. Makes each order as it's order and first come. It took me a few months to receive an order. Read the fine print.

Under FAQ:

10) How long will it take to get my stuff?

Sometimes I have a few items 'in stock' and they'll go out next mail day, usually Mondays and Fridays. But not always.
Otherwise I can only say it'll take the time it takes. I'm not in the habit of holding guys over a barrel but neither am I doing this like it's a regular job so the pressure becomes unbearable! I use a coupla third party makers as well and sometimes that speeds up the process, sometimes not.
I appreciate your patronage and your patience while I make your stuff and make it right!

I'd love to see some better pics of that George Reeves. I might do a B&W George Reeves Superman after my Gaslight Batman.

Do yourself a favor and before you order from Classic Plastick ask Ada Chan (e-mail address above in this thread) to send you photos of the new unpainted George Reeves sculpt. It is by far a superior sculpt and the only wait is about one week for mail. I have a few of Ada's sculpts and they are very well done. There are a few posted on the forum like Ada's Vic Morrow and Winston Churchill and a couple of others, also Ada has an eBay page with a few more sculpts.

Here's a photo of the sculpt a customer of CP painted. This head looks like it might be better suited for the DC Direct body.
I have a photo of Ada GR, but she asked I keep it to myself. Seems someone is stealing (recasting) her sculpts. It nice, but like alot of her sculpt, it may not please everyone.

Hi! I have a great Kirk Alyn 12" figure. If you want to see it, you can write me to my e mail to can send you some pics: [email protected]

Hi Alex!

Good to know you're still active. Who was Kirk Alyn and when did he play Superman?

CHEERS!

 

[glensnod]

I got a Reeves head from Ada maybe 3 or 4 years ago and it's absolutely massive, way out of scale and far too big for any 1/6 figure. The likeness is no better than mediocre so overall it was a total waste of money. And she ignored my very polite emails to her about it. My first and last experience with her I'm afraid.

DML had a hs I thought was a dead ringer for George Reeves - at the time I thought someone would use it for a Gone With the Wind figure. Pretty sure it was a German, but I don't know what original figure it was from. Even the hair was right for his Superman look. If I come across it, I'll provide a link.

Hi Alex!

CHEERS!

Kirk Alyn played Superman in two Columbia serials, Superman in 1948 and Atom vs Superman in 1950. Physically he was in great shape, far better than George Reeves and was a much more athletic and agile Superman than George, having been a dancer and I believe occasional stunt man as well as general low budget actor. He seems a bit hammy though compared to George's dignified laid back interpretation.

Sadly now almost forgotten but worth a look if you're a fan.

 

[borjs2000]

This thread is very old and we now have many good sculptors around. Does anyone know who made Kirk Alyn or Gorge Reeves sculpts recently?

cheers

I have been waiting forever for a top shelf Kirk Alyn and George Reeves and after talking to a few major 1/6 manufactures it seems Warner has zero interest in either of those projects think they would rather have people forget them and grab the newer guys playing him.
