I own the 1/4 scale version and just happened to snag this one recently at a comic store near me that was having a closing down sale. Wow, just as gorgeous as his bigger brother, the look, the sculpt, the paint apps, just exquisite. Now I'm able to display him proudly on my shelf next to Keaton's Batman without him taking up the massive amount of space the 1/4 scale one does.
I just bought this figure, and I can't wait to get my hands on it! When I was little I had one of those Kenner Super Powers Superman figures, and that was my favorite toy. Unfortunately I lost it. I was devastated! My mom took me to every toy store she could find trying to find me another Superman figure, but all we could find was a Flash. Years later, long after I'd outgrown my toys, I found my Superman figure. I had put him in the back of this tractor trailer toy, and completely forgot about it. I still have him, but he's in pretty rough shape, so I can't wait to add this figure to my collection. If only I could have gotten him 25 years ago. 5 year old me would have loved it.
nailed the head sculpt, that's a great honor to Christopher, the best Superman that will ever be! Great points about the Keaton Batman and Reeves Superman, what a joy it would have been to see them in a movie together!
I didn't realise that Neca did this figure in 7'' scale. I own the 1/4 size one and that's probably the best Neca figure I have (and I have an awful lot of them). The face sculpt looks really good on this one too as the 1/4 scale one is exquisite.
Yeah, mine broke at the knee and hip right out of the package. Picked up a second one and did the warm water trick and it unlocked all the joints. I still would not recommend changing out the hands too much. My Adam West batman broke at the wrist and it was a real pain getting the peg out of the wrist.
update : so I hit up my local tru and lo and behold I found a Superman however... upon opening Superman I discovered that he has two right arms. now normally I would be super bummed out but you can't really tell the only way you can tell is that his elbow peace comes over the front of his elbow but makes his costume looks seamless on the left side so now I have to get another one just because and they were sold out at that website.
sweet! I'm going to be soooo bummed if I miss out on this figure. I was fortunate enough to get the Michael Keaton batman and the Heath Ledger joker and the Adam West batman but you are right having the Christopher Reeves superman would rock!
+ToonamiT0M I'm hoping NECA proposes a Shipp Flash packaged with a CW Flash DVD and a Slater Supergirl (and Cain Superman?) packaged with a CBS Supergirl DVD. Actually, NECA is probably the only one I'd trust with either Slater or Cain because Slater really NEEDS a fabric skirt and Cain really NEEDS a metallic paint costume.
A buddy of mine posed his Reeve and Keaton figures with live action Green Arrow and Flash, and they all look amazing together! Too bad Lucy Lawless never played Wonder Woman, otherwise we could have an epic live action Justice League going on here.
I missed the Keaton figure but got this one on preorder..imagine my disappointment in removing him from the package and while untying the twist tie I had to gently move his right arm to get to the tie and the arm snapped off at the elbow...with barely any pressure. Really put a poor taste in my moth about it. I have to send the figure back and they are supposed to send me a replacement..we will see how that goes.
Great review man...I have to say this line has been disappointing for one reason...We should not have to heat up joints so the figure won't break, NECA should make them so that you can, GASP, pose them right out of the package. Knowing NECAs QC issues from the past I did use my heat gun, but Joker and Supes still broke with gentle handling. These are such dream figures, it is just a shame so many people are having them break right out of the box. Perhaps if you get to interview Randy at SDCC next year you could ask what steps are being taken to address their QC?
Yes. How is this so great when he can barely raise his head for the flying pose?? The arms can barely raise, the elbows and knees are just single jointed...sorry, it's an OKAY figure....but its not great.
Hello Dan!!! I love your reviews they are great I have a question I bought this action figure on eBay and I want to know if there’s a way to know when a toy is a knock off and how can you tell it? Thank you and have a great 2018!!!! Hope you can do a comparison between a knock off and an original!! I hope mine is not a lousy copy 😟🙏🏼 thanks for the kind response
Reeve's Superman is undisputed.. i don't understand why they can't do Superman this way as he is portrayed by his creators.. he is not meant to be a dark brooding character for goodness sake..we have Batman for that.. here's to Superman forever red white and blue.
Sometimes neca makes nice figures! But many times they are very disappointing !Especially quality wise.joints are very tight and break very easily,they use very soft plastic.They are more statues then they are action figures!

Great Review! Chris Reeve will always be the definitive real life Superman imo. 6:55 "Robot Dance Superman" LOL

OMG The same story happened to me
Just ordered one yesterday love the cloth capes in figures
Great figure. Childhood memz. RIP Chris Reeves. My fav supes.
nailed the head sculpt, that's a great honor to Christopher, the best Superman that will ever be!
Great points about the Keaton Batman and Reeves Superman, what a joy it would have been to see them in a movie together!
I would love to get a Jack Nicholson Joker in this scale.
He won't allow his likeness sadly
Managed to find him today and man, he is awesome. A second dream come true.
Superman doing the robot was fantastic

That is a beautiful figure, one I must add to my Superman collection. Thanks Dan!
Awesome review!!! I picked up and love the Adam West Batman and if I find this I'm definitely going to grab him.

This figure is perfect if trying for screen accurate collecting.. It would look great for a Superman / filmation he-man cross over look
You can have Superman awkwardly reaching for a hand shake with that open palm hand while Batman denies it.
hi all.. hopefully Neca will do General Zod and Nicholson Joker after this..awesome sculpt and cape.

+ralph lerma Reeves, lol.
+Hoss oops
+sgf129 nice thanks!
HE looks awesome
I would LOVE a John Wesley Shipp "Flash" from this line.
+ToonamiT0M I'm hoping NECA proposes a Shipp Flash packaged with a CW Flash DVD and a Slater Supergirl (and Cain Superman?) packaged with a CBS Supergirl DVD. Actually, NECA is probably the only one I'd trust with either Slater or Cain because Slater really NEEDS a fabric skirt and Cain really NEEDS a metallic paint costume.
Im going to get this for Christmas
Great figure, Superman looks great doing the Robot 😁
Neca make a Ultimate Reeves Superman now! 🔥
A buddy of mine posed his Reeve and Keaton figures with live action Green Arrow and Flash, and they all look amazing together! Too bad Lucy Lawless never played Wonder Woman, otherwise we could have an epic live action Justice League going on here.
+MasterSeijin There's always Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, if they ever make one...
***** She'd only fit with West and George Reeves.
MasterSeijin How so?
***** Because she completes the DC television trifecta.
MasterSeijin Green Arrow and Flash are also from television...
They need to give us a Robin and a few villains from the super man movies and the Batman TV series,
I NEED THEM.
Somehow I've managed to be extremely lucky given the amount of breakage/wrong parts complaints. Own ten NECA figs and haven't had any problems

Do you think theyll make Lynda Carter Wonder Woman? Wondergirl? Ursa, Zod, Ur?
where did you get it.
this looks great,it is a shame that the keaton batman was so limited. there was definitely a fail with that,it needs a re release.
I've been waiting on this review
What flight stand did u use in 5:50?
Guy Webz so we meet again
wish they would do a Jack Nick Joker or Cat women.
All we can do is wait and hope
Waiting for this to arrive. This will keep me until I can afford the Hot Toys figure.
I only just saw this the other day in TRU
I hope makes more of these. Like maybe dip into some Marvel properties.

All you reviewers always like the figures. How is it supposed to get better when everything is great and cool???
Yes. How is this so great when he can barely raise his head for the flying pose?? The arms can barely raise, the elbows and knees are just single jointed...sorry, it's an OKAY figure....but its not great.
Nice! I hope these dont sell out like the Joker 7in figures
Hello Dan!!! I love your reviews they are great I have a question

Lucho Corona if it says China its prolly a knock off
I can't find him on Amazon.com
+sgf129 He hasn't been in stock for over a week at Gohastings.
+Harri927 In Stock on Amazon
Jesus Santillan pffff, at those inflated prices from scalpers. He isn't worth 90 bucks
He can do the Batman bitchslap to someone with those hands.
With a pair of relaxed hands this figure would be great .
Cuanto mide?
Mine broke at the left hip and right leg. Come on NECA get it together and you can be the best.
Local TRU didn't have it but they did have Heath Ledger too bad they were sold out lol
Reeve's Superman is undisputed.. i don't understand why they can't do Superman this way as he is portrayed by his creators.. he is not meant to be a dark brooding character for goodness sake..we have Batman for that.. here's to Superman forever red white and blue.
Salam Wati Red, Yellow and Blue.
I still can't guess why can never make a 'Christopher Reeve' superman figure with a smiling face...or atleast an interchangeable head!
lol you can get this at toys r us or Hastings for $15
Where's the Marlon Brando Jor-el and Gene Hackman Lex Luthor figues?!
Blue hinges in the wrist are unfortunate.
rip
>blue wrists
I hope Reeve's kids are being taken care of from royalties of their father's likeness.
Sometimes neca makes nice figures! But many times they are very disappointing !Especially quality wise.joints are very tight and break very easily,they use very soft plastic.They are more statues then they are action figures!
That looks like it's going to break
that is not an good doll
It's not a s
Lol
