Two cinematic scenes from my childhood scarred me for years. The first was an episode of Benson where Haley's Comet flew overhead and all the humans were reduced to gravel (or dried beans?). For a lighthearted sitcom this caught me off-guard and terrified me. The second trauma was the earthquake scene from Superman (1978) when Lois Lane's car slipped into a wide fissure and she died while suffocating under the weight of the crushing gravel and dirt. It was horrible. And I swear this played on TV every few months throughout my childhood. Lois wears several very similar outfits throughout the movie, but the 3-piece pantsuit with blue collar is unique to this horrible scene. If you've seen the movie, you know it ends happily (in the most illogical way possible), but I'm still a bit triggered. Spin Master is making some pretty great DC retro cinematic figures. I only hope they're able to sneak out the rumored Helen Slater Supergirl before the licenses shift. Let's check out Lois Lane below!
I bought and returned several of this figure before I found one with eyes that weren't printed horribly off-center. But interestingly enough, I was so focused on her eyes that I think I ended up with one where her lips are printed too far down. I only think this because the fleshtone paint stops before her upper lip and left a subtle white barrier (like a milk moustache).
It's more noticeable in the photos than in real life though luckily.
Scandalous confessions on Lois' notepad accessory.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is the cinematic Lois with the recent Fleischer Lois Lane from the Mezco 5 Points line.
Cheers!
