I really like this Superman, although I wished they had just painted the actual sculpted boot tops. I hope Todd continues to use this body and replaces the trunks piece to give us Reborn Superman.
Great review as always! That 2nd comparison reminds me that DC Icons had some fantastic sculpts but the scales were way too small. Anyway, I think i'm gonna definitely add this figure to my collection.
Don't like this buck for Superman. It's too simian proportioned, that's why it worked for bizarro or infected Superman. But IMO the AC 1000 is still the superior looking figure.
Really hate this suit. Was really regretting not getting the Action 1000 (classic) Superman until you compared them side by side. Like the bigger body on this. If I was a customizer I would customize this one into a classic Supes like you said. Instead I’ll have to wait for the next classic Supes and hope he uses this body. Good review!
Oh man, he looks decent enough but Mcfarlane keeps making Batman bigger than Superman. There’s too many companies doing better with DC so I don’t want to have multiple versions of McFarlane characters... The newer Batman looks great but I don’t like that he doesn’t scale perfectly with this guy.
I should have jumped on that Action Comics one. Keep waiting for a definitive Superman from McFarland. The Action Comics one is still the best rendition out there. For guys like me that only want 1 Superman. It’s Todd thou. I have faith he at some point will create a one and done catch all Superman. Get us a good Supergirl Todd.
2:22 They are definitely not the same face sculpt. The face and jaw is wider on the left one. There's also more of a defined right brow line above the nose for the Rebirth one on the left.
I swapped the legs from the knees down with the Superman 1000 because the Rebirth one has bigger thighs and the sculpt is the same at the bottom of the knee. (It's molded differently at thr top of the knee.) If you don't mind the thinner legs you can swap the entire legs. I also swapped the capes. WARNING! Removing the cape of Superman rebirth is hard. Removing the cape of Superman 1000 is damn near impossible! You have to get it real hot with water then pull it off. I also cut it with a Xato knife to make it go faster. Once removed you have to cut away ALL of the think part of the inside of the Superman 1000's cape. (And there is a lot.) You have to also thin down the part of the cape that wraps around his neck to make it more pliable. Then glue it down with a flexible clear glue. I suggest Quick Grip. It bonds faster than the 1000 stuff. Once you have it glued around Supes neck properly tape it down where it fits around the neck. How easy it is to glue down depends on how thin you cut down the part of the cape that goes around his neck. Once it is taped down HARD with quick grip put it away for at least 24 hours to let the glue get to maximum strength. After the 24 hours remove the tape and remove any excess rubberized glue with tweezers. BAM! Now you got the almost perfect Superman. To make him 100% perfect you'll need to make the yellow S on the back of the case with a waterside decal.
I won’t but that Superman Figure Because they used the same head has the first Superman multi-verse figure I got a lot of Superman figures and he’s my number 1 favorite DC superhero.
Nice review. I wasn't sure what to expect from this Superman release. I think it's great for fans that miss out wave1 Supes. For me, I might just wait for another version of Superman. Personally can't wait until Todd tackles the Death of Superman 90s era
If this was the second rebirth Superman it would’ve been an automatic purchase. I’ll never understand why they gave him blue boots and though it looked good
Really would love a Superman Reborn figure. Honestly, I really want most of my figures in their Rebirth Costumes, especially Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Martian and Cyborg would be amazing too.
Excellent review, dude!! I definitely don't like the paint of the boots, but the figure looks better than I imagined previously!! Thanks for the important informations!!
That boot thing is just unacceptable. Let me ask you. If you had to choose between McFarlane’s wave one Superman and this new Rebirth one, which would you pick?
My dude. Thank you for this review, I needed to see him before buying. In order to customize him, just like you are! So that was a nice surprise for you to say. Made my day pal, hugs thank you! 😊 By the way it is a great figure also recycled from the last, but honestly its perfect for the way I intend to customise it I just hope it's the same for you. 🙂
If I decide to get this version, the awful painted red line above boots is getting removed. I will paint boots a darker glossy shade of blue to give them a polished leather look. Will add a yellow S logo on back of cape & paint belt yellow, leaving diamond buckle red. That will make him my “dress blues” Superman for when he wants to look more formal & less flashy.
I wish they made a new 52 superman. N52 had some of my favorite designs. I guess this is close enough. But I still want a new 52 batman. And a less stylized rebirth batman
Those rebirth Superman's two fist parts could be also applied for wave 1 original Superman? I always felt sorry that the original Superman didn't have a right fist. If possible, I'd like to apply the two fists of rebirth Superman to the original Superman.
If there's any way to swap out the yellow oval bat symbol and replace it with the solid black bat, that Three Jokers Batman could be a dead ringer for the definitive traditional black and grey Batman from McFarlane Toys. Also, the Rebirth Superman looks good as a basis for a classic style design.
The boots are shocking they should have either done a new part sculpt for lower legs to create the correct boots or just painted the red on the sculpted part like it is with Bizarro however wouldn’t be comic accurate
Great review as always, picked him up the other day. The face paint on mine makes him look kinda sickly from certain angles. Yours is weird too but in a different way lol. I like both bodies as well
That boot paint/sculpt BS kills the figure for me. I cannot believe they were that cheap and lazy. I’ll keep my Action Comics 1000 Superman figure. Great review though.
Exactly. Thank you, that to me is inexcusable. Mattel wasn't perfect with their QC but I don't have a single Mattel figure that has a mistake that bad. Like it's so lazy. And this is McFarlane toys we are talking about. They have been at this for decades. Like to me there is no excuse. Like it looks like a cheap bootleg.
The best comic book Superman figure. Followed closely by wave 1 classic McFarlane and DCD Jim Lee Superman in the through the ages pack. Love the suit here. No stupid diapers. I like the shorter cape on Supes. Only thing I’d like better is if the boots were red. No over customization needed to mess it up. But you know Brad lmao
Nice review as always, man! Even with those red lines on the boots, I freaking love this Supes. I want to customize him a little bit, painting the boots red and the belt diamond gold, in order to have a Reborn Superman.
The boots were pathetic, I would’ve rather them just paint the sculpt already there rather than be lazy like that
I really like this Superman, although I wished they had just painted the actual sculpted boot tops. I hope Todd continues to use this body and replaces the trunks piece to give us Reborn Superman.
maybe the red can come off with thinner
5:24 Brad gets real with the question. where do our collectibles go when we are gone?
Our kids, or our grandsons.
They really should've just painted the boots the same way they painted Bizarro's.
Or they could've just done Reborn Superman instead...
I really like this figure, but Reborn Superman would've been great!
Maybe next year we'll get a Rebirth Wonder Woman 🤞
Still waiting 😩

I really hate the way Mcfarlane makes that torso articulation, in their Snyder JL line it kind of looks nice, but in the comic look figures it doesn't

I'm keeping the wave 1😎
Awesome video man. When bought mine I painted to boots red because I’m not a huge fan with the blue boots. So I made a new 52 Superman

Can the boot lines be removed with some IA 91%? If so then I can start turnt him into a more classic Sups
Those boots are shameful. A lot of reuse is forgivable, but this one is just inexcusable.
2:22 They are definitely not the same face sculpt. The face and jaw is wider on the left one. There's also more of a defined right brow line above the nose for the Rebirth one on the left.
I think it’s becoming more obvious, mcfarlane doesn’t like Superman at all
I swapped the legs from the knees down with the Superman 1000 because the Rebirth one has bigger thighs and the sculpt is the same at the bottom of the knee.

I'd swap Rebirth's legs with Superman 1000's and I'd swap the trunks
@@FredbearTheBear02
I swapped the upper thighs with the rebirth version since they are bigger but used the 1000 lower legs to keep the red boots.
He got the boot rights with Bizarro and this one is just lazy. McFarlane hates Superman and he disrespects the character and the product he makes.
Just change the symbol and the legs and it's a perfect superman figure
I won’t but that Superman Figure Because they used the same head has the first Superman multi-verse figure I got a lot of Superman figures and he’s my number 1 favorite DC superhero.
Idk if it's just me or the cape is too short lol
Not a fan of the blue boots. Makes it look like he’s wearing a leotard.
The legs 100% stop me from purchasing this. Shame.
This is my favorite so far. I hate when superheroes have their underwear on the outside of their pants.
Agreed. Ruins the credibility of Batman and Superman IMO very stupid looking
I'm really not big on this one's head and face. Not sure why but it just doesn't look right to me.
Nice review. I wasn't sure what to expect from this Superman release. I think it's great for fans that miss out wave1 Supes. For me, I might just wait for another version of Superman. Personally can't wait until Todd tackles the Death of Superman 90s era
That three jokers batman. What did you pull that belt from?
If this was the second rebirth Superman it would’ve been an automatic purchase. I’ll never understand why they gave him blue boots and though it looked good
Really would love a Superman Reborn figure. Honestly, I really want most of my figures in their Rebirth Costumes, especially Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Martian and Cyborg would be amazing too.
is Superman’s right foot longer than the left foot?
I really don't get what's weird about the Cape?
I got this figure but it would NOT stand. The feet would not go in the same position as one another.
Excellent review, dude!! I definitely don't like the paint of the boots, but the figure looks better than I imagined previously!! Thanks for the important informations!!
Hi brad didcha think of customizing this 1?
Is the left leg a lil bent ?
Dont know , I will see when I have my eyed on him in person if I like it.
Greetings. What Wonder Woman is that?
We finally get a superman with 2 fists and double jointed elbows yet .... The boots are the most glaring issues..and more blush?
Any update on the custom?
Are u gonna fix the boots?
Why his hands so damn big?
This is really really cool
is he taller than the old one
Don't like it at all.
Boots are lazy!
👍👍
James 😁
Noice
Awesome Superman Rebirth figure but I’m happy with the Classic Superman that McFarland made while back
That boot thing is just unacceptable. Let me ask you. If you had to choose between McFarlane’s wave one Superman and this new Rebirth one, which would you pick?
I like fists on a figure, but a Superman figure NEEDS a pair of proper flat flying hands.
My dude. Thank you for this review, I needed to see him before buying. In order to customize him, just like you are! So that was a nice surprise for you to say. Made my day pal, hugs thank you! 😊 By the way it is a great figure also recycled from the last, but honestly its perfect for the way I intend to customise it I just hope it's the same for you. 🙂
That boot top is... rough, that is not good. Still looks pretty good, I just think I'm satisfied with the Supes I've got, even with its faults.
If I decide to get this version, the awful painted red line above boots is getting removed.
I will paint boots a darker glossy shade of blue to give them a polished leather look.
Will add a yellow S logo on back of cape & paint belt yellow, leaving diamond buckle red.

I hope they make a Reborn Superman, but don't use the arms from this figure. The Reborn suit doesn't have the sleeve cuffs that this Rebirth suit has.
Those rebirth Superman's two fist parts could be also applied for wave 1 original Superman? I always felt sorry that the original Superman didn't have a right fist. If possible, I'd like to apply the two fists of rebirth Superman to the original Superman.
Absolutely getting it, but it's going to need Apoxie and some sculpting to fix that boot line... Can't believe they left it like that...
If there's any way to swap out the yellow oval bat symbol and replace it with the solid black bat, that Three Jokers Batman could be a dead ringer for the definitive traditional black and grey Batman from McFarlane Toys.
Also, the Rebirth Superman looks good as a basis for a classic style design.
I love mine! The double jointed elbows really give him a major advantage over the AC1000 Superman.
Can you switch the trunks and lower legs from the first release superman and make a bigger, buffer sups that we all want?
I would’ve just taken an inaccurate boot cuff instead of that, it’s such a weird choice to just paint over sculpt going the opposite way
The boots are shocking they should have either done a new part sculpt for lower legs to create the correct boots or just painted the red on the sculpted part like it is with Bizarro however wouldn’t be comic accurate
It would be great if you could do a video documenting the customizing process you'll be using to make your version of this figure.
Todd should give us some classic silver age version’s of chargers...
Great review as always, picked him up the other day. The face paint on mine makes him look kinda sickly from certain angles. Yours is weird too but in a different way lol. I like both bodies as well
YYYEEESSS FINALLY THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR
A quite good review Brad, thanks!
That boot paint/sculpt BS kills the figure for me. I cannot believe they were that cheap and lazy. I’ll keep my Action Comics 1000 Superman figure.
Great review though.

Dang it! Now I have to buy this.
Got 2 on pre-order for customs!!

Boots look so damn bad. McFarlane is charging money for this? It looks like a bootleg. So damn cheap.
Nice action figure
Just a question, can we swap the flying hands from the action comics one?
yep, just pop em off and swap em
@@symbiote1982pk great thanks💪🏾, gotta order him now fast ⚡fast ⚡fast⚡
Nice review as always, man!
Even with those red lines on the boots, I freaking love this Supes. I want to customize him a little bit, painting the boots red and the belt diamond gold, in order to have a Reborn Superman.
I really hate this design… I’ve also grown sour on Mcfarlane in general….
I passed on this guy, and after watching your review,with all the reused parts along with the boots issue… I’m glad i did
Actually the rebirth Superman has a fatter face.
