At one time, I owned 90% of this line, but once Mattel made enough of the characters for their own line, I fully made the switch and sold off most of my Kenner stuff. The only ones I still have are the deluxe mego style Superman and the Kryptonian battle suit with Power Flight Superman inside of it. This was the era that got me fully invested in the comics and figures.
Fun fact: When Hasbro took over they released a bunch of 2-packs during their "DC Superheroes" line that included a Blue Beetle & Flash in the Total Justice Style, as well as a King Shark & Superboy that was originally supposed to be in the MOS line (It's even on the back of some of the latter packaging) as well as a Short Haired Variant of Full Assault Superman & the Metallo that was also supposed to be apart of this line.
Cool figures.😃 These figures were the first Superman action figures that I owned. I still have all the figures and vehicle's unboxed and some stuff boxed. Really, a blast from the past. 😃😃😃
Love the nostalgia I had the Superboy and Laser Superman. I didn't even know the significance of the characters too was still bit young just loved the look of them as a kid
Ah, I loved this line. Pretty sweet Doomsday figure even if his articulation was awful. Had laser Supes, mullet Supes, Steel, the car with the Clark Kent figure, Superboy and the two-pack that I can remember.
I remember when these came out. I wish I had the money for them back then because they were amazing looking toys. In Junior High they took us on an away trip and to kill some time we got to hang out in the Warner Bros store. They had the second wave on the pegs and I was floored by how cool the packaging looked. That Lex is still one of my favorite head sculpts. I never owned any of these when they came out, but I ended up getting the Eradicator figure (minus the cape) at a thrift shop and my best friend gave me his Superboy figure when he was clearing out his stuff. To this day that's my favorite Conner figure.
I had most of them, but unfortunately I sold a lot of them but I still kept a few like the Laser Superman, Steel, Doomsday, and the Ultimate Superman if I can find it, LOL.
Had many of these. Loved em' all. Had to sell them when I moved. They scale really well with Total Justice and Legends of Batman. We were supposed to get a Metallo but the line got cancelled. They released it as part of a two pack of Kenner DC Super Heroes.
That Kryptonian battle armor is just the right kind of silliness. "Here Superman, step into this giant mech suit where you have no possible way of increasing its power levels!" Brilliant. Also, they were willing to make a toy called Massacre in a kid's line back in the day, but Marvel Legends, a line for adults, is unable to call a character Holocaust?
It was an heirloom from Krypton. It sat in the trophy section of the Fortress of solitude. When Superman was recovering from his death thanks to the kryptonian tech at the Fortress he watched the drama on the news play out between the four replacements. Even though he was weakened, he got in the battle suit and WALKED from the north pole to Metropolis. Besides that, It came in handy for kids who wanted Conduit or Lex to even the playing field fighting Team Superman.
I remember these figures, they are awesome! I haven't thought about them in years. I think you could get three videos out these easily: figures based on the comics, weirdo variants, and then vehicles/two-pack/larger figures. Heck I think you could get four episodes out of these
I might be wrong, probably am, but I think that car came in red also, and that mego style superman was a K-mart exclusive. Great haul Brad, can't wait for the Superman suit review, I had everyone of these and traded them some vintage star wars toys.......don't hit me Brad.
Oh man, I was just looking at pictures of these the other day! So awesome. I remember seeing these and the Total Justice figures at K-Mart all the time. I wish I bought them, but I was 16 so it wasn't considered "cool" to buy action figures. I do have Superman and Superboy though. Maybe I'll track down the rest of the line.
We were in the exact same boat. 16 and not cool. I got into rock’n’roll pretty hard core. The ones I really did want I couldn’t afford because I was broke.
Great review as always Brad. I had that Superman car when it was remade in red for the Superman the Animated Series line (and a Batman one from the Tim Burton movies)! By the way what are your thoughts about DC cancelling the Lucha Explosiva figures? Were you planning to get them?
Ponytail Clark Kent figure! Conduit was a deceptively fun toy, with his tendrils you could tangle Superman up in. And I HATED variants back then, but I kind of love them now that they're gone? It's like toys are ashamed to be toys these days. I'm sorry I scorned you, lime green Turbo Kayak Blaster Batman. Come back!
They're not really gone, though. Mattel still does them for most of their DC lines, and Spider-man Far from Home seems to have a few possibly coming up.

I went crazy over this line when i was a kid. It was an amazing time!

I have most of the figures in my collection. I was bummed out they didn't do a Hank Henshaw Cyborg figure that I could stick with my "Supermen"
I had all those when I was younger! I especially loved the battle suit and the conversion coup!
Oh my gosh... I’m sooooo not a variant guy
How the bloody hell did we not get a Cyborg Superman or Matrix Supergirl?!?
I feel like Kickstarter was tailormade for solving the problem with this line's lack of a Cyborg Superman
If you reviewed the Batman animated series Kenner figures that would be super wicked
SuperAwesomeBro I’d love to do that. I’ve been keeping my eye out for a good lot of figures on eBay.

Great collection of Superman Figures. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome collection right there
love the D&D shirt. Awesome haul. I know Superman's your biggest fave, so I like seeing you get all psyched about it.
Yet another underrated Kenner DC line. Awesome video that brings back so many great memories!

Ver cool I still have that set packed away......
You're lucky. I had some of those figures when I was a kid. I wish I had kept them, instead of giving it to my cousins.
You lucky man! Awesome stuff.
Great review as always Brad. I had that Superman car when it was remade in red for the Superman the Animated Series line (and a Batman one from the Tim Burton movies)!
By the way what are your thoughts about DC cancelling the Lucha Explosiva figures? Were you planning to get them?
No black suit? For shame! That's a lacking box. I had the black suit one. Perfect, it was.
Don't mess with the S!
I bought those figures once back in the 90s
I used to have that Steel action figure. I think I had Superboy's bike too
I'm jealous, I only have 2 of them and one of them is missing the hammer.😞
That’s a cool box, Brad.
There was a second steel figure put out in wave 2. I remember it saying “deluxe” on the package. Also there was a Superman and batman two pack
Sooo many superman
That last one I just bought it on amazon 😂.
3:52 I have that Superman but whit the short hair in the metallo vs Superman exclusive two pack
I'm in for the videos on these and the Total Justice line! :) Can't wait!
Is that a Superman plush behind you on your left? Where can I buy that?
My dream room
I have so many of those this channel is so good.
do ''Superman the Man of Steel Superboy VTOL Cycle Kenner'' includes SUPERBOY ACTION FUGURE inside the box???
Where does Super Man sleep? where ever Captain Marvel tells him he can!
😑
I think you mean shazam

I guess so, but don't they seem less ridiculous and arbitrary now? I miss glow in the dark tropical nunchuk vikings. And battle damage!
