I guess the donkey crossed the border alright as the shipping status has updated to showing it with customs now.

Any Update, Batfoo? Did the donkey make it all the way to your town?

SC just released the "Turquoise Blue" version of their 2013 edition picture -the one I ordered

Here is a quick shot. Costume is really nice. I'm going to put a fastener for the cape straps as that will be much easier when donning it.
Got the costume - now to get the physique. I'm doing what Reeve did for Superman 1 which is a huge diet of steak and supplements and a helluva lot of weight training. Need to put on a bit more mass and burn those gut handles!

I wonder as a big Superman fan, how would the costume look like then, if there was the resources available to do muscle shading like they did on the Spider-Man costume.…

What do you think? Would it have improved the look of the costume? Since Spandex doesn't follow the muscle definitions…

Looks awesome, Batfoo! Costume looks GREAT!

Chris Reeve was not that muscular actually in Superman the movie (1978) like Rambo/Schwarzenegger but he did got more muscular throughout the movies. He had great wide shoulders. No muscle shading for me...It's going to look fake and nothing like CR.

Maybe it's also a plus that spandex doesn't follow the muscle definition?

Congrats on your costume! Looks like a great fit. My costume is stuck in customs

That's why I'm doing the Christopher Reeve training method. He put on a lot of muscle mass in just 6 weeks before shooting began. It's a challenge to myself plus who doesn't want to look good in their costume!
