Its reusing the whole page punchers Superman body, thats why it looks like a modern superman
I think the crotch parts are interchangable so why they didn't just change it for the Action Comics 1000 version to have a more classic look I don't know. They seemed to have the idea that because they were using the Page Punchers body they had to use the WHOLE body. They couldn't swap out the crotch parts or the forearms for a more classic look.
It's a shame because they're SO close here. The 'S' design, the headsculpt, the shades of blue, yellow and red. They were really, really close to delivering the perfect silver/bronze age Superman and whiffed it by cheaping out on parts.
I'm reminded of that scene from Spider-Man the Animated Series wherein a comicbook artist is explaining to his protege that "you can't draw the hero's hands larger than his head," and the kid - meant to represent McFarlane in conversation with Stan Lee from their discussion about the creation of Overkill - says, "That's how heroes are drawn these days. Times have changed."
This grotesque figure (proportionally because otherwise he's fantastic) is McFarlane having the last laugh.
McF hand scales are off the charts. This Superman's catcher's mitts vs upcoming $30 Kid Flash's tiny baby hands, lul
I personally love this Superman a lot! The headsculpt is one of my favorite parts of the figure. I really hate the goofy oversized hands though
I've been waiting for this line. Basic normal figures. I can't believe we had to go through Batman as a Monster Truck and Spartan Superman to get to this but, finally. I hope we get the rest of them.
My preferred Superman colors are the light red and blue, with black and white suit, no cape, long hair Superman being a close second.
A lot of people don't seem to like smiley headsculpts on superheroes, but quite like it. Not as the only head included, but as an extra.
I swear Todd hasn’t been able to do a halfway decent Superman head in his entire DC run. Whats the deal??
Because he’s Todd.
The only way you can get anything resembling a good Superman out of McFarlane is by customizing it.
I thought Superman: Action Comics #1000 was pretty good. The thing about getting a decent Superman face is don't give him an unnecessarily serious and/or overly detailed face, but neither give him a permanent grin all the time like this one.
@@blue1133 I think that’s a good rule of thumb for Supermans (Supermen?) who only come with a single head, but I’d always rather see a Superman come out with a smiling head, and a nondescript grimace like you said. Give people options.
I prefer a bright blue with a medium red for Superman, for me he’s supposed represent hope and bright colors do that. He should also have at least one smiling face/head sculpt, let Batman be the angry and stern one.
This figure is a prime example of "ok" figure
Ok sculpt
Ok articulation
Ok proportion
Ok head
Articulation is awful! And the sculpt doesn’t even make up for it whatsoever, I really don’t understand why people support this line.
@@Forty3SnakesGood head you say?? 🍆💦
I hoped that they would've fixed the big hand issue. I'm tempted to buy this and other Superman figures from this line to make an amalgam. I really like the leg sculpt on this one.
yeah, with McFarlane Supermans, seems you gotta go kitbash if you want your perfect one.
@@Aryend Yeah.
I can't with these figures superman looks like he wearing the shorts that athletic coaches wore back in the 70's
I actually like their flight stands. They’re clear enough to not draw attention and they can hold larger figures than the import stands.
Except the clip doesn't fit around most figures
@@AnthonysCustoms it usually does around a leg.
And the stand doesn't have a screw and comes loose after like a week
@@chillyinsummer yuuuup, the stands would be ok if it wasn't because they get really floppy after a while...
The first thing that I noticed when I was scrolling through my subscriptions and saw this review came up was how gigantic those hands are. Holy moly
Rare Anthony Superman review, let's goooooo
his face creeps me out, but i dig the emblem on this one
Only thing new here is the head sculpt (which to me looks eerily like Todd himself). Everything else is straight up Page Punchers Superman. They've released this figure before with the big goofy hands and decided not to fix it on this release. What a turd.
I didn't get this one. Love the colors, but that's about it. I still think Action Comics 1000 Superman is McFarlane's best to date. Thanks for this great video... Bat Toast
I fancy the colours on this Superman figure; the bright blue really pops and it is complemented nicely by the warm red and enthusiastic yellow. Dorky smile aside, it is your classic Superman. But bloody hell-those giant, oversized hands do not belong on that body! And his nappy is huge, too! So close, McFarlane… so close. As usual, McFarlane Toys missed the mark.
Grazie, Anthony! I enjoyed the review! 👍

No buns of steel? Cake-less? This is a new low. It is difficult for some to understand what is going on with the manufacturer's management of the comic based action figures. On one hand they produce a product like Nightwing that isn't worth its packaging. On the other hand the same company produces a figure which has disproportionate body parts. This is not a good time to be a collector of comic based action figures.
If they put these muscular legs on Hush Superman upper body it would be their first well proportioned Superman.
I like the bruce timm superman, that is my favorite color scheme
I want a Superman in my collection, but this one requires too much work to get it right. Gonna pass and wait for a better one to appear/look for one that has been released by another company.
The Hush Superman is pretty good now with the rereleased version, which he had a smiling head, though.
I did see him, just not a fan of that style of face for Superman even though I have that line's Hush Batman@@shanks950
I just cant stand that they still keep putting artwork on the package that doesn't match the figure or vice versa...why?
I like both, but it's more about the adaptation for me.
For instance this color combo I always think of Christopher Reeve Superman or just that classic silver age look, but for the darker blue and red, Fleischer Superman is my favorite.
I'm on the hunt for this one but I'm replacing the cape with a wired one, he'll be my classic Supes to go with Knightfall Batman.
EDIT: A lot of the classic Supermans had those wrist cuffs, another reviewer looked at the Collectors Edition debut Superman and had the same comment, but Superman #1 did have them (But comic art of the time was usually inconsistent)
I hate these insanely swelled hands we get lol
Canned hams
This Superman looks like he speaks with SolidJJ's voice
Still glad I passed on this. He's just too small, and the overall proportions are goofy exactly as you pointed out. I have no idea why they wont make a beefy, tall Superman in scale with the Three Jokers Batman or Hush Batman.
I prefer the light blue but I think it should be just slightly darker. I like the comic book version
He is a happy Superman. 😊
I think this figure looks pretty nice, I especially like the updated/modern sculpt and classic colors. Proportions are iffy, tho, and I'm not a fan of the cape. Wish this one came with an alternate head that's neutral. About the colors, I really like the Rebirth Supes in a 2 pack with Ultraman, but I like this one, too. There will be a new upcoming McFarlane Superman figure that's better than this, unfortunately.
Proportions usually iffy with McFarlane
I think its good for people who couldnt afford the mafex reissue from october and like mcfarlane and yes todd is obviously gonna do some platinum, gold label release with the accurate belt from the classic comics , and proportionate hands
Superman TAS red and blue is the best shade i like for the classic superman look.
The Superman that came with Krypto recently is my ideal red/blue shades for Superman.
Okay, now I can’t unsee the size difference with the disproportionate chest and bottom half.
I think light blue and red look great together, but for me, Superman is supposed to be dark blue. Those hands sure do look insane lol. You are the best ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙
I prefer a slightly darker blue for Superman. His headsculpt is better than most mcfarlane Superman headsculpts. The upperbody seems too slender, legs too thick, oversized hands. I agree with you there.
I love the style associated from the John Byrne The Man of Steel comics
Good attention to detail and I agree about the upper and lower body not matching up.
i like darker blue darker red that the comics had in the 80s when i was collecting the comics as a kid.
The head from Superman 1000 or Atomic Skull vs Superman works for this guy
My main ideas of Superman are the DCAU abd Max Fleischer versions of Superman, which both have a relatively dark blue with a bright red. Thr cyan blue doesnt work for me. The contrast between the dark blue and vright red and yellow really makes him pop.
The real problem is - as usual - it's off model.
Wrong belt, no belt loops, wrong boot tops, wrong cuffs, no yellow S symbol on cape, wrong shade of blue.
And they go and stick an image that, while fairly recent, at least looks classic. I am yet yo buy a single McFarlane figure. Owned basically every DCU Classics and hundreds of DC lines over the last 30 years if that twlls you anything.
This is a poor repaint of another Superman figure they came out with. Doesn't look classic to me. Where's the S on the cape🤨
I like a medium blue, not too bright and not too dark, with bright reds and yellows. I really wish that Hasbro had the license for DC. I know they don't want to share a toy company for standard releases, but they have so many body molds that could be retooled into a DC character. Look at their recent Power Princess, it's a better Wonder Woman figure than McFarlane toys or Mattel ever made.
Captain carrot is my favorite McFarlane besides thrown spawn
I´m sorry but in the video you mentioned that it was enough for Superman to come with a couple of intercheangable hands as that´s fine for the character and that flight stands are better than nothing yet you gave the figure 0 in that regard because of not having better accesories.
Having an acceptable assortment of hands does not mean it's an acceptable assortment of accessories. He came with no alternate head despite the stupid smile. The flight stands are bad. The card doesn't match the figure.
I'd like to see the yellow band on the boots, and a deep sky blue rather than powder blue
Called a classic superman, yet he has the wrong belt, the wrong boots, some bs on the wrists. And on top of all that a dumb head sculpt. And no S on the cape.
If Hush Superman had the same skin tone as the classic Superman, it would be the best
Still waiting for a GOOD superman from McFarlane for my collection.
I was a little excited for this figure until I watched this review. I just canceled my preorder.
This is the best Superman figure McFarlane has put out, which isn't saying much. Not to say the figure is bad because it's decent, but Todd, for some reason, can't get Superman right.
@anthonyscustoms are you planning on doing the new ML green goblin?
The mcu one? No
It wouldn't seem right not having to take the figure to the chop shop to improve it.
It cannot be that hard for them to make the hinges at the limbs somewhat okay looking. If a line like DC Icons (which was actually kind of bad in hindsight) was able to do it then they can do it.
It almost at a point, in order to get a good McFarlane Superman, you have to kitbash a majority of them.
I hate plastic capes.
He looks like someone who bought a Superman costume and attended comicon
“That's all you really need for Superman”
“Accessory-wise 0 out of 10”
Makes sense.
I mean, a bad flying stand and a pair of open hands are not good accessories
@@TailsdollelZorroMaligno I know, but it is just funny how contradictory he sounded there.
I said that's all you need for hands. No alternate head and a crappy stand and card.
@@AnthonysCustoms You meant the hands but it didn't come off like that in the video. Might just be me, but i think you could've quote that better. Still, pretty informative review. Didn't notice the big lower body before.
I agree 100% on the top half not matching the bottom half. But thay stupid smile. He looks like someone who hears a joke but doesn't really get it but smiles to pretends that he does get the joke.
For a classic Superman, the lines on the top of the boots are correct. Look at any cover from 1968-1990 or so. The belt is so wrong it hurts. There shouldn't be the angling down that it has, it should be straight across and threaded through red loops on the belt, and most importantly with a circle or oval belt buckle. It is SO glaringly wrong that I didn't notice the tiny top half until you talked about it. This is clearly an alternate universe Superman and not at all "classic."
I would say that the reason the legs are so much larger than everything else is because they might be using the thighs from three jokers batman.
i would have to check but i think they were first used on the page punchers superman (this figure but different colors and head)
Not really a "classic" Superman. That belt alone is all wrong.
Almost all of McFarlanes Superman figures have a doofus look on their faces...
I'm usually a dark blue guy when given the option, but for Superman I do like the light blue look. Maybe it's just nostalgia. I don't care for this figure though. A classic Superman in his light blue attire should be big, but not cut. And those giant hams at the end of this guy's arms look absurd and the lower half is clearly too big. It's like a kit-bash released as an official product. Also, I think I hate the cape. Aside from that...
😒It needs customize fix for him anyway..🙄
Just like the previous Hush Superman, it’s close.
I love the sculpted body. There’s more muscle definition in the arms and legs. I like the sculpted logo on the chest, and the figure seems better proportioned.
I’m not really a big fan of the head. Smiling Superman is nice but this looks like an awkward teenager smiling for a class photo. The giant hands are weird, they have the wrong belt for classic Superman, and the articulation kind of blows. I didn’t know the legs had limited range going forward 🙁 Also, they need to get rid of those cuffs. It’s on every Superman figure, he doesn’t have them aside from a few of versions like New 52 and some modern looks, not classic.
If you’re not too critical about it and just want a Superman, it’s fine. It’ll look nice on a shelf, but I still wouldn’t consider this to be the “definitive” classic Superman from McFarlane.
Is the reason for the larger lower body due to them entering wrong size values when they produced the mold? Like the upper body is at 100 and the lower body is 105 or something?
No. The joints wouldn't fit properly. They just sculpt them that way
First smiling Superman
My color of choice for red and blue default Superman is the dark blue and red
If superman farted thats, how he would smile..😂
Somebody has pulled his finger?!😆😅🤣😂
Such a weird smile
I like the modern Superman, no underwear over tights
Looks like hes biting his bottom lip LMAO 😂
wow is this the first decent superman figure from this company?!
The face😂
Looks pretty great to me (aside from the belt and no yellow "S" on on the back). Gonna display it with classic Wonder Woman and Year Two Batman.
Question: How do you get that lazy Susan to spin by itself!?
His Lazy Susan is probably battery operated or it plugs into an outlet
It's a display turntable. Batteries
I grabbed one from Amazon. Thanks!
gigantic hands
Is good enough to put a Christopher Reeves head on this supes
I thought it was ok- until watching this review. Now i hate it 😖😂😂😂
Ill just have to keep him in the back of my display 😂😂😂
so wrong look at the belt wheres the red belt loops the single crest on the boot tops
Just can’t with McFarlane figures. I like the scale but can’t find one of these I like.
Another McFarlane repaint of a relatively "good" figure for McFarlane DC Multiverse figure. Sad that it seems it's one of their "better" figures 😅
I respect mcfarlane, but dang his dc fig lines are horrendous! Not worth the $ scale all whacky
Any chance we get a revoltech moon knight review?
Not from me. Sorry. Not interested in 99% of revoltech
@@AnthonysCustoms all good no worries…
Thanks for the reply!
His body proportions remind me of an average heavyweight boxer (Ngannou, Joshua, etc) not much like a superhero
this is the content i paid to see
Why does McFarlane struggle soooooo much?!
They don't care and don't hire the best people for the job
Something about this makes me think it looks like horseshit and I just know it's the expression on the face. If I had to imagine on the spot what a "goober" looks like, that's it - that would be him; he is the one they wrote The Goofy Goober Song for. Absolutely infuriating that it's 2024 yet there's not a single good smiling Superman figure in the last decade. The likes of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez have been providing quintessential reference images for decades now so it boggles my mind how it seems like no company can get a classic smiling Superman right.
Can you review imagination works raid on onigashima luffy?
No plan to buy that. Sorry
Lol no audio for a sec
FYI everone, it's super super easy to improve the torso articulation snd shorten the legs of this figure (you shouldn't have to, but whatever)
100% reuse of the Lee Bermejo Superman. Only unique thing is the head.
I actually saw the page punchers one for the first time today at Walmart
@@AnthonysCustomsWhat's your thought on it?
I just wish the figure was 6.5 inches to make them more compatible with other DC Universe action figures. No need to make these figures giants.
I think that McFarlane is just as trash as ML. ...in completely different ways. Honestly, I think overall, ML is better. McFarlane looks better at first glance, due mostly to paint apps, but damn near every McFarlane DC multiverse figure suffers from the same problems. Those being, bad articulation (I mean, I think neca is almost just as articulated, but they look awesome), the head sculpts are booty and those DAMN DIAPERS!! At least your ML figures will still have a crotch in 25 years! Sik
Shorten the legs and give this figure a cloth suit and it blows mezco out of the water
