Initially I was excited about this one. But after seeing it. I think it's a disturbing one. Like a embalmed version of Chris after his passing. Just creepy looking 🥶
Great Review ! I grew up with Reeve as my Superman, he was great in that role. He was also great as the “evil drunk Superman”… I need that platinum version but can’t find it for a decent price. Guess I should just start boozing like Drunk Supes. 😅
Wow, I am absolutely not the biggest fan of McFarlane but when you put Reeves Superman next to Adam West Batman? Amazing, legit I would not turn my nose up at those if they were gifted to me.
I ordered a few of these just because of my childhood and because I wanna make one custom of it and there's not much to complain about at all with this fig.
I’m looking forward to getting this. Still waiting for it to arrive. This will be sold out everywhere and the scalpers probably would want to charge triple.
I only bought this figure a few weeks ago and it’s one of my faves in my collection. He just looks so good in every pose, the wrist cuffs don’t bother me, personally and the cape does seem a little cheap with that spongier, stretchier fabric. But overall I’m happy with the figure, the promo shots and renders really don’t do it justice, it just looks great in hand and posed up. I’m conflicted if I wanna display him next to my 66’ Adam West Batman, or wait til the single release 89’ Keaton Batman. Maybe I’ll try to nab another Chris Reeve supes and make him into a George Reeves Superman to go with Adam West and do the base figure with Keaton
Honestly, this is the first DC Multiverse that has almost got me. That Mezco stand is amazing though! Well, my son has bought quite a few in the last few months, and he likes them. He just recently got the BAF wave for TDKR with the horse.
so i ordered 2 of these from best buy and 1 of them is the platinum edition which is darker like evil superman from the 3rd film. but its marked the same. why?
His wrist pegs are blue because his suit sleeve needs to be longer. Reeve's head looks great on the Earth 2 Superman body, too. Thanks for the review but the nitpicking is real strong. Your collection looks nice.
@@Pendelton7030 thank you. The better choice that I didn't mention would for them to maybe recess the peg further into the wrist or simply make a smaller peg. But I hope that nit pick doesn't discourage you from watching more vids. I'm a pretty fair and considerate reviewer without shilling.
@@Toygains Oooooh which figure is that? And on top of a Ferrigno-Hulk ML, call me crazy but I'd like a 7" and a GOOD 6" Reynolds-GL too. Then I could have my preferred live-action line-up for both Marvel AND DC.
The "S" symbol is terrible how do you mess it up that bad? The head sculpt & the "S" are the main view points. The cape "S" is too big also. These are simple things that should have been addressed on such a high profile figure but I dont think McFarlane cares because he knows it will sell out no matter what
For a 30 dollar figure the face seems better than the mezco to me, especially at a distance. The rest of the figure is definitely your regular 30 dollar figure
Oh so the wife thing was a hoax ok its fine anyway-haha i actually dont mind the wrist pegs, i guess my eyes see it as part of the sleeve. Cuz when u showed that other with skin color peg it looked wrong imo. Its all preference in the end i guess. Plus he makes his pegs so big hard to not see or stick out. Solid review as usual brotha! Ur insight is always fair n to the point. Im getting this babyyyyy
Toygainz is the best toy channel for 2024 hands down! I will definitely do the spray when mine finally gets delivered, I also want to sand down the torso cut It's too sharp looking and stands out cuz of it
@Toygains I also see what you u mean by looking like he got punched in the face. Iv has some success with the bvs batman by putting the head in hot water and then pinching it around to reform it a little
@@kyleholder3785 Neca might look better as a collections piece, but the DC multiverse is a more fun action figure. Also the Neca Maccready whiskey bottle goes great with that Dark Supes.
@@LeonardDugas-r7x what mcfarlane could do is recess the peg into the Wrist more. I actually plan on doing it. You can do it without losing articulation.
McFarlane Superman Christopher Reeve would go well with McFarlane bloodshot vin diesel and Star Trek Jim Kirk as well as Neca figures of Stallone as Rocky and Rambo, Arnold Schwarzenegger figures of terminator, John matrix from commando and Dutch from predator, Peter Weller Robocop, blade runner 2049, diamond select John wick and westworld, Neca escape from New York and the thing Kurt Russell figures of snake plissken and RJ Macready, ash Williams from evil dead, Michael Keaton Batman from Neca and the t1000 figures from terminator 2 and genisys, etc.
Someone said changing those hand pegs out for skin tones is very tricky. They are very tight and can scar up pulling them out. Maybe I should just try to paint mine. To me that's worst part of this guy.
None of your other Reeves superman have visible flesh wrist..the blue joint is his costume coming completely to his hand ✋️ 😮..ok Don't make me come down there 😉
Dunno about nailed but it's not bad. Really don't like the shiny look of the suit. A matte and slightly textured look like the old NECA figure would have been great. The likeness is... mostly fine.
@@CarniviusPrime he did enough for it to be a good figure. But his best movie head sculpt somehow is Morgan Freeman for me. And yeah a textured suit if done right would have been nice. And he's done subtle textures on other DC multiverse figures so it was possible.
@@Toygains yeah it's good. It bugs me that I sold my McFarlane Dark Knight Bale Batman figure cos of the rubbery cape but then the cloth one came in that expensive six pack that was sold out (and he's the only Batman and I didn't need all the other guys) and then they did a single pack with cloth cape but it's a rare variant that sells for about £100. I just wanted a Bale Batman in his Dark Knight suit with a wired cloth cape that didn't cost silly monies, Todd... But yeah, if i ever finally manage to get one, great! :P
Gains your channel isnthe best new channel to hit TH-cam in years. Pre-ordered it but don't have it yet because ia am in Canada. You are right it is the bset articulated Reeves Superman oit there. I thought you were going to bring her on. Lol i did not get the joke!
loving that bit of Spider-man 60's cartoon in the opening
Hell yeah, thanks.

@@LRonHubbard-Ljhobby lobby and Amazon carry it. It's meant for plastics. Dulls down the glossy-ness when needed. It's like ten bucks. Highly recommend.
Mattel, just before they lost the DC license, did a 7" Lynda Carter Wonder Woman. Seems like they would scale well.

Is there a particular brand of matte spray you used?
Also what other Superman was that when comparing the pegs?
@@anthonium. I prefer Mr. Super clear. But I've used other clear matte sprays with similar results. And the others Shown were Mezco and Neca.
Great review. I agree we definitely need a Lynda Carter Wonder Woman.
Great review as usual bro.. that’s a pretty good head sculpt on Reeves. Especially for $25.
I got mine in on Monday, so I'm ginna have to slide it into my top 10 of 2024. It just makes me happy to see it on my shelf.
@@dahhmlife it's very fun. He's on my special shelf lol.
I'm jealous of your collection because my collection was stolen in October 2024, while I was hospitalized after being struck by a car.
Yep he did nail it
Honestly, this is the first DC Multiverse that has almost got me. That Mezco stand is amazing though!
Well, my son has bought quite a few in the last few months, and he likes them. He just recently got the BAF wave for TDKR with the horse.
They are flawed but fun. This Reeve is a really good one though. As is the armored BVS Bats.
Great review man, can’t wait to get mine! And the dc stuff that does hold up to today is Mattel DC figures IMO
@@JBTMR agreed
This is Price is King the figure. It’s not perfect, but for $30? It’s beautiful.
Those damn wrist pegs lol. I hear ya bro! They kill me every time.
Just watched the Reeve’s Documentary this week (I didn’t cry, you cried). If I see this guy, I’m definitely grabbing him! Another great video
@@fynncobb I know I would cry. This is a solid pick up. Fun stuff.
@@ToygainsI was a bumbling idiot haha!! My wife thankfully pretended not to notice, which I appreciated.

Finally a honest review on this figure the face part bothered me the most
@@edsmith1298 thanks man. I try to be fair with each figure.
The likeness rights for Ferrigno-Hulk are probably a legal boondoggle worse than for the No One Lives Forever games... 🙃
