It's funny how this Collector's Edition line started off with giving off less than the bare minimum of accessories for $30 to the upcoming Collectors Edition Wonder Woman who's gonna be packed with everything but the kitchen sink also for $30
I cracked and bought him for retail. Then immediately gave him a new cape and painted boots lol. I put this head, dumbell and all, onto the Mezco Superman body and it works *way* better than it should. There's some dead space to fill to get the neck length right, but it's a surprising fit
I have a specific request lol. See how you made that “perfect Superman” mixing Hush with the AC1000 mold? I’d REALLY like to see the opposite, the leftover parts put together into a figure. Just throw that somewhere in any video, I just have to see that abomination lol. Much love.
I would have bought both. Should have done equal amounts of both looks. And i wont pay scalpers. The set retails at 30. I think its a great figure though i did put a slightly longer peg in the neck. Looking forward to the long hair supes.
I think they should have released three $20 figures as mass releases, none as chase. 1, release the Platinum edition version as Superman #1. It looks just like that cover. Release the Platinum version but with all blue legs and straps, call it Action Comics 1 Release this version with the little red booties, call it Action Comics 1 Cover Edition. Release 1 every six months. I'd have bought all three.
Thanks for the video. It would be helpful when you do these if you did a side by side comparison after the swap like you do before the swap. You swap and go straight to a close up which makes it difficult to see the proportions with the complete figure. Thanks!
Hell yeah Jason great review as always!! Also Congratulations Todd!! You did it!! You've done every variant you can with this body mold....now please retire it and make a better one....BUT KEEP THIS HEAD IT LOOKS COOL!!
When are you going to customize that Tim drake figure lol? I saw this figure at my books a million but I didn’t pick it up lol. I’m hoping that classic superman figure looks well worth actually though. Keep up the great work jason!
@5POAFigureReviews oh, it’s fine Jason! I can’t wait for those top ten figures videos for 2023. Though, I was wondering when you get that 1989 Batmobile vehicle will you see which Batman figures can you fit in it?
was on my list but it disappeared fast, great review. I finally have most of the Arkham City wave (Gold Label B/W versions) and Titan Joker is on the way too
I finally picked him up to use his head on the upcoming Page Punchers Shazam. I’ll use one of the many AC1000 sculpt heads on this body so I didn’t pay $24 for just the head. He really needs two fists.
If you haven't already, check out my Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman Earth-2 video to check out a head swap with this head on that body. Perfect combo for Fleischer
I was able to find the platinum edition of this figure not just once, but twice. After selling the first one, I assume a force beyond my understanding just wanted me to keep the second.
@@5POAFigureReviews DEFINITELY hard to find and it was blind stupid luck that I found it, lost it on the bus back home, then found a Game Stop nearby that had it. WHEW! But worth it in the end
Hopefully McFarlane listens that we want a new sculpt but since we keep buying them I doubt it. I plan on swapping the mullet Superman head with either 1000 or Vs Doomsday bodies. That steroid body almost makes me stop getting them... almost.
Sorry if you've discussed this before, but can all mcfarlane DC figures heads be swapped with each other and is it a simple process? Also, great videos, subscribed!
Not all the heads are compatible with each other because some have different sizes pegs, but by and large if you heat the heads they pop off easily and can be swapped. I find it's best if you can get the head and peg together.
I hoped you review the eradicator and Steel figures until the new 52 Cyborg superman figure comes out compare him with the rest of the reign of supermen team man
Sorry man, no interest in picking up Eradicator unless they release one that looks like the Return of Superman color scheme. Also, from what I've seen of the leaked images of cyborg Superman I'm not really liking it enough to pick it up. Not unless it's painted really well or it comes with another figure I just have to have or something like that. Sorry man. I'm holding out for a classic Cyborg Superman.
When I went to review Stealth Iron man, he broke out of the package. I was left at that moment with a choice of either trying to return him and find one somewhere else or keep going. Deciding that "The Show Must Go On," I continued the video but focused on humor. I did a little skits, and a lot of the kind of things that are now a staple on the channel. Up to that point I took things a lot more seriously, but that video really loosened me up. For me that's when the channel really came alive, and so since then he has been my mascot and a constant reminder that we can always make something wonderful out of bad situations.
@@5POAFigureReviews yeah I've bought figures like that too ,l bought an ICE MAN from the 97 x-men line and when l opened it it completely crumbled on me, recently l got a x-men DARWIN and the right elbow joint was super glued, and a 3/34 G l Joe stalker with a broken left elbow joint both were purchased at ROSS.
This one's a pass for me. Too expensive for what you get. I have an old DC Direct Action Comics #1 Superman figure that I absolutely love. It may be 6" scale and have much less articulation, but the sculpt, proportions, details and clean lines are just superior and more accurate to my eye.
Great job. This figure is an abomination. Compared to the knightfall battyman's. Hopefully McFartlane can get it right before a classic captain marvel is pooped out 😢😂
It's funny how this Collector's Edition line started off with giving off less than the bare minimum of accessories for $30 to the upcoming Collectors Edition Wonder Woman who's gonna be packed with everything but the kitchen sink also for $30
Yes, I'm okay with that one being $30
Don't forget Firestorm, which came with so many hands that I didn't know what to do with them.
It's wild how quickly this has become one of my favorite review channels. Keep up the good work!
1:30 To me that guy always looked like he was getting a bad headache from all the commotion Supes was making 😆
Ha! That or it's his car and he JUST finished paying it off
@@5POAFigureReviewsLMAOO
The SUPERMAN head on the Shazam body is dead on! 👍
For real!
BTW, that chain accessory actually clips together to make a closed circle. That way you can put it around him and have him "break" it open.
I Love action comics number one Superman!💙💙💙💙
Let’s swap head! Aye!!!! Lol 😂
Always a good time lol
You can actually click the chains together from the broken side
That's really cool! Dunno why I didn't think of that
PERFECT timing. Was trying to see which bodies this head looked good with. This figures headsculpt is my favorite rendition of Clark they've done!
My timing is nothing if not perfect LOL most especially my comedic timing ha
wow, 3.5 i was not expecting this... incredible ending with the price point, totally agree. Greetings from México
Thanks, Miguel! It surprised me too!
Great video ! I learned some things with your research, lol. I was like, huh, no kidding. If he drops in price, maybe I'll snag him
See, the channel is both fun AND educational lol
Another great video. Thanks!!
You're so welcome!

Hmm, I'll have to give that swap a look. Thanks for the tipoff
Great video jason, I didnt know that mcfarlane toys made a figure of arnold schwarzenegger dressed up with a superman pijama, you're awesome :).
HA! Good one. Thanks for the kind words!

I love that idea!
Hey! Did you use the same neck peg on the aquaman using Barry head?
yep same neck as Aquaman
I feel like that new mulleted Superman head would look better on the repainted AC1000 Superman from the Atomic Skull 2 pack.
I'm looking forward to seeing it on the OG AC1000. I always associate that look with darker blue

I kind of want to use that head to make a custom Fleischer superman
It would be perfect!
I want the original cartoon version which would be similar but it would have black and red Superman logo.
Yes, I would LOVE that!
well definitely gave me a new appreciation for this version unfortunately the price sucks on it. another great review though Jason 🤘
Thanks! Hey it's got to go on sale at some point right?
@@5POAFigureReviews absolutely 🤘

I want that platinum edition
Same
Platinum Version looks more like my headcanon superman 😅 so I hope I can find it 😂
I know I’m late to the party but the platinum edition looks incredible imo! I haven’t seen him anywhere, however.
Me neither. I don't really want to have to buy another one, but I really do prefer it
I need this figure, even if the boots aren't correct
I swapped my action 1 head onto the DKR body to kinda sorta make a Tim Sale Superman for all Seasons figure
Good thinking!
Try the head of the Superman, from Superman/Ultraman two-pack on the Action Comics body. If you use the right neck peg, it will look pretty amazing
I don't have that set, but if it goes on clearance I may pick it up.
@@5POAFigureReviews DEFINITELY hard to find and it was blind stupid luck that I found it, lost it on the bus back home, then found a Game Stop nearby that had it. WHEW! But worth it in the end
I may be late to the party but if you swap the page punchers hands with the dark knight returns hands they fit better
All good! The party never stops at 5POA
Hopefully McFarlane listens that we want a new sculpt but since we keep buying them I doubt it. I plan on swapping the mullet Superman head with either 1000 or Vs Doomsday bodies. That steroid body almost makes me stop getting them... almost.
I'm only getting him for the head and for Krypto. That body is ridiculous.

That head does make a better Captain Marvel than the actual Captain Marvel head (no...I won't call him Shazam...he IS Captain Marvel..haha).
Great review as always. This is a decent figure, but a pass for me. I'm more interested in seeing what the JL Plastic Man BAF wave figures look like.
Now that is something I'd like to see!
hey dude nice to meet you - found a sub, we might have to hit the hunt sometime!
Good meeting you too! For sure.

@@5POAFigureReviews it's fine but unless anyone wants to demand you do it then you might eventually have too due to request by anyone
Jason, what's the story behind THE STELTH ARMORED IRON MAN WITH NO LEGS?

Dont mean to hijack your thread but the 27" Spinmaster Batwing is on clearance at Target for $19.99
Awesome! I hope anyone missing out can take advantage of it
No only sentrt but i think the hush body would make a good base for an Omn-iman or immortal custom.
True!
GA Green Lanterns lower strapped legs would have have been acceptable for superman.
Clever idea!
Tried to send you some email samples of my pics, but couldn't. Is there an update on a new email address?

Platinum by a country mile.
Agreed
That head looks a lot like Dean Cain, imo.
I can see it.
Damn. Never seen a video with zero points
Hasn't happened in a while, but it has.

Yeah that old one is really nice
Comic he has blue boots. Cover had red boots. I perfer to have what's in the comic then cover
*than
Does anyone make an 8-ball jacket that'll fit this Patrick Warburton Supes?
Haha good one
Great job. This figure is an abomination. Compared to the knightfall battyman's. Hopefully McFartlane can get it right before a classic captain marvel is pooped out 😢😂
Bearded Superman on Action Comics 1 body looks like the Bollywood version
they just can’t get superman right to save their lives
Nope they sure can't
Idk anything about cameras but whatever camera you have or settings you have on make the colors look super washed out and ugly
Thanks for the feedback
That body is way too bulky
Agreed. We need something between this body and Action Comics 1000
By far my least favorite figure at an even worse price point…
Not exactly my cup.of Clark but he looks solid nonetheless
