Not gonna lie I was I bit skeptical after seeing a few shorts on TH-cam but I was also waiting for your review on TH-cam (I consider your channel the best action figure one) and my worries are gone. This is by far my most anticipated pre-order of this year. Great work as always and greetings from Brazil!
@@Forty3Snakes Well I respect your opinion but I really like this chill casual vibe that he brings in his reviews not to mention the amazing (no pun intended) shots angles and light that really values each figure atributes. As a non professional photographer I can appreciate the work and effort he puts in each video.
I don't collect Mezco, but if I were, I'd definitely start with this one! That light up eyes headsculpt looks amazing! I even like the scale. Great review!
My biggest problem with it is the emblem I know shouldn’t be a big deal but I really wish they just went extra on it like an actual insert in the cloth not just the printed sticker…but love your work as always even with all the negative you shine a bright light on all the positives like a shining beacon of child like wonder and nostalgia…your the reason I started collecting mezco I appreciate you my guy thanks for all you do
I've never been a fan of Superman but this figure looks pretty slick. I love the bright colors, and that they didn't shy away from a fully cloth costume, as opposed to the weird basketball / carbon fiber texture that is often applied to modern Superman designs. Still not sure that I can justify the price tag to myself for a character that I dont really care for, but the execution is still pretty tempting.
@@Bane520 SuperMan/Clarks lack of flaws is ironically his only and biggest flaw he has nothing wrong with him and therefore is a pretty bland character personality wise and is unrelatible
Fan of Superman, and I’ve been looking for a Superman figure that had a smiling expression, and this one might be the one for me to get… if only it was just a tad cheaper. Its pretty darn expensive, I feel like if you cut off a lot of accessories and just kept the hands, lasers, and heads, this would be a lot cheaper. Still, really tempted to get this! And your review and the pics at the end REALLY help!
I've never been a fan of soft goods when it comes to characters that wear skin tight suits, but the heads and accessories on this Supes look SO GOODI wish mezco could sell the accessories by themselves lol
THANK YOU! I've been so excited for this figure and been refreshing the results on "Mezco Superman" hoping someone reviews it. Just started the video, can't wait to see what you have to say. Edit: Finished the review, you sold me on it! Great review as always!
You seemed to have brought back the confidence of everyone who ordered this. Let the FOMO begin. Glad I didn't cancel my preorder. Makes a big difference when you can actually pose this figure properly before taking pictures. This will be my definitive Superman for the shelf.
Awesome review! All fears put to bed, this figure looks outstanding, especially with all the head sculpts giving so much variety of expression! Can’t wait to get him in-hand. Keep up the fantastic work! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for D amazing review. I almost canceled my pre order for this figure because of all the pictures and complaints but you really showed the great things about it ! Your always my favorite reviewer because you stay so positive! Please keep up the great work!
What bothers me is that chest symbol. I feel it’s too small and there should be NO black there. Just red and yellow. Makes it look like they just stuck a sticker on his chest.
I just ordered this the other day and I wish I had watched reviews of the toy beforehand, because this discrepancy between the MeZco previews pictures and the actual production release with the black lines was immediately noticeable and glaring. 😕
Dammit D, I wasn't in for this Supes until now hahaha. Man the way you break everything down in your videos is ALWAYS a delight. And the comic refs hit hard homie. I wonder how everything will hold up and I'm thinking about breaking for this figure. I love my Mafex but a smiling Superman is always wanted. Plus I love the John Byrne feel of him.
Great review! I’m not loving some of the changes that Mezco have made (such as the S symbol), but seeing all the accessories has made me glad to have pre-ordered this figure! Keep up the amazing work!
Great review and some awesome accessories! The full on heat vision reminds me of Supes stoically saying “Burn” to Mongul in “For the man who has everything”
This is the first mezco I have ever pre-ordered/ordered. The first (and second) MAFEX I ever ordered were the Hush Superman and Batman. This Superman brings some much *needed* head sculpts that other Supes figures have absolutely missed. I mean, really, how hard is it to get a smiling Superman head. That's like Superman's thing! That's what sets him apart from everyone! Cap...another boyscout but his face is partially covered. Spider-Man, full mask. Batman, half mask and more brooding. You take the top 5-10 all-time recognizable superheroes, and Superman will be the one with a face in full view and with a smile. To me, that is significant to him as a character. However...I am super disappointed in the height. I was hoping to have him somewhere between Cap and Thor. I don't think it'll look bad but I realized "My" superman would be in the image of Chris Samnee art and be a slightly bulkier chest and shoulders like the new Mezco, but a waist and leg slenderness of the Reeves Mezco. I'm not tempted to mix and match those two but that could be my ideal. Either way, I will be happy to get this Mezco figure.
Man I love putting these mezco figures next to Mcfarlane Mega figs like Lobo and Bane because it kinda makes them look accurate to the comics. Bane is all big and can pick up and bend the bat, lobo looks like a 7 footer next to superman and Mongul will for sure looks like a 8 footer next to this Superman. Can not wait to have this guy in hand.
D you sold me! The heads turned out much better than the pics showed. The logo isn't as bad as everyone says but I do wish it was a tad bigger. I didn't get this first Superman so I may grab this guy. Now I'm just waiting on the TMNT set
I really like what I've seen of this figure save the chest emblem. I preferred the version they showed on the prototype. That one was larger and looked more “real world.” The black outlined one is too small looks like a cheap sticker. It makes it look like a Mego os something. Perhaps I feel better once I have the figure in hand.
Thank you for the review! You've really eased my worries about this figure! I'm still not pleased with the logo, but Mezco have REALLY delivered on a great superman this time.
Those head sculpts are a good interpretation of the character. A good middle ground of most Superman looks. I wonder if those heads would look good on a McFarlane figure?
I can’t wait I‘ve waited so long time to get my hands on what thought would be a definitive Super Man. I’m building a Mezco justice league , I’ve already got Sovereign Knight Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, John Stewart Green Lantern, I did order Green Arrow from China but some one stole it on delivery, and I missed out on the Doctor Fate so unless they do a re-issue I’m out , now I just need for them to do a Martian Manhunter, Hawk-girl, I think they should have mad him a little taller I really like your first Mezco Super man
Thank you for the review! This Superman will be fine for many, but I think Mezco dropped the ball again on another iconic character. He looks like a beefed up Jon Hamm in the Christopher Reeve Superman costume. Although I did enjoy your posing and photos of him. So as a Superman fan and knowing that we've never really had any good comic based Supermen until recently, I will be getting him as well. He may not be exactly what I expected and wanted, but there's more going on to favor than not. Until then, the wait for one of these companies to give us a good John Byrne Superman continues.
Mezco, imo the #1 best toy company for accessories and innovation. Like the laser head and the magnetic chest! Have never seen any company do that before, amazing.
Like others I was sus after seeing initial inhand pics of the fig but after this review its acceptable. Not the end all be all but def better then what i was seeing initially. Real judge will be having it in hand. I'm liking the light up function. Not digging the fact they changed the emblem from the promo pics. Fig is cool for now unless someone like muff comes out with a full blown Superman vs. Clark Kent. Thanks for vid.
Part of me wants to thank you for the video the other part wants to blame you and request a couch to sleep on after my wife finds out I got another Mezco because of D! Lol great video!
I like the portions on this one. I thought it looked a bit like Christopher Reeve... until you bought out the actual toy of him... hahaha... I agree with you. The first one looks okay alone, but comparing with the other 2, the newer ones are better.
It’s a good figure, but I still think the definitive 1/12 Superman is the Mafex Hush one. It’s also cheaper if you can still find it at retail. This could be an alternative for the people that missed out on the Mafex. 🤷♂️
While I'm still anxious to get this, I would have probably enjoyed it much more if that "Return of the King" KC Supes figure hadn't come out because THAT figure is incredible despite the lack of accessories.
I was going to skip this superman as a superman fanboy as I seen some of these with ugly seams on the Cape with the blue bleeding through the red. I went to out local shop and the receptionist was posing it and taking pictures for their website. He absolutely sold me on it, especially in the awesome flight pose he had it in with the smiling face. He absolutely sold me on it.
First, great video review. Second, why does it not bother you that the shoulder muscles appear dislocated in any pose other than the "A" stance? Imo, they make his arms look like they were made for the Gumby claymation show from the 70's. Did Mezco's first Superman have the same problem?
Ok D first of all awesome review. I am a big fan of your reviews and pics at the end.The figure itself is great. I really like all the accessories that he comes with. They only missed out on a head that shows his ice breath. I guess there is only two things that bother me about him. One I wish he was just a little bit taller. And the second is his chest embolum. I know it's nick picking but I it's not the same as the original images. Other than that he's great 👍.
I mean for the money they could have made that "S" symbol more high quality & look better than a Mego figure! The black throws it off & idk I think overall this figure looks really bad for the price they charge!
Was your Mafex Hush Superman the original color blue or did you custom paint it? The color looks darker and so much better than the one I have. Thanks for the great review 👍🏼
There's something about Mezco figures that makes it look not proportioned... not sure if the torso is too short or the head is too big, or the neck is too long. I never see this on Mafex or Figuarts.

You should get the Mezco Damian Wayne Robin. It has to be rank among their best pieces.

I'm glad your review popped up on my feed first. I know your poses are going to be Poppin!
3mins in and im absolutely GEEKING!!!! Sick friggin figure

Great review, we need to see him with the Golden Age and Caped Crusader Batmans! I feel like his size is more suited for those guys

D you sold me! The heads turned out much better than the pics showed. The logo isn't as bad as everyone says but I do wish it was a tad bigger. I didn't get this first Superman so I may grab this guy. Now I'm just waiting on the TMNT set

It's a great looking figure. However, I do wish that the S on his chest was a bit bigger and his cape was longer.
I'm not feeling it. I'm glad I never redid my pre-order after a certain company went under. I really hate the black linework around his chest logo.
Thank you for the review! You've really eased my worries about this figure!
I'm still not pleased with the logo, but Mezco have REALLY delivered on a great superman this time.
You know what else would’ve been fire a headsculpt that was blowing and they give a frost breath effect
Those head sculpts are a good interpretation of the character. A good middle ground of most Superman looks. I wonder if those heads would look good on a McFarlane figure?
You forgot to show the tin packaging D
finally..... i was waiting for someone to review it and who better than @D Amazing
I’ll admit, I lost faith for awhile but your vid made me glad I pre-ordered.
Would kill for a Lois and Jon two-pack.
just had a great idea, we know that the chest area has metal studs, why not make a switchable magnetized shield S emblem for superman

@@opusbasketballacademy1112 which is why I said what I said.
I must not be a hard core Superman fan but I just don’t get why the black outline on the symbol is a deal breaker for mostly everyone.

I'm sorry man I can't unsee that S shield. The black outline is amateur af. Ima have to cancel.
I'm glad he can actually be moved around. The original Mezco Superman is limited in range too much.
Just placed my preorder for it cause of your review! It’s an amazing figure!
i stopped collecting mezco awhile ago, but i still had to pick up this guy.
Hmm…I’m thinking a custom cape and a larger S symbol might make this guy a 9/10 IMO. Good video as always dude.
This an a amazing figure! The light up eyes are dope
GREAT REVIEW!!! I definitely want this figure!!
The only thing I Really don't like is the black line around the logo/ its not big enough.
Cancelled mine, the S crest is larger on the promo pics, don't know why they shrunk it down on the actual release.
Cool review man keep the good work!!! You help me a lot when I have to decide when to pick a figure
Looks great, and yeah I dig the Curt Swanish head. 🐐
Hey great review. I've been a fan for awhile. I was wondering where you got the mouth swapped short eared batman head?
I mean for the money they could have made that "S" symbol more high quality & look better than a Mego figure! The black throws it off & idk I think overall this figure looks really bad for the price they charge!
The biggest issue/sticking point is the logo. The Chris reeves one is so much better. Idk why they didn’t just copy ot
Because it wouldn't be accurate. The black outline is straight from the comics, not a Mezco design.
Was your Mafex Hush Superman the original color blue or did you custom paint it? The color looks darker and so much better than the one I have. Thanks for the great review 👍🏼
Looking good, mang!
There's something about Mezco figures that makes it look not proportioned... not sure if the torso is too short or the head is too big, or the neck is too long. I never see this on Mafex or Figuarts.
Amazing figure, this is and iconic and gorgeous execution from Mezco! Love the review, I really enjoy it!!!
Hopefully Mezco will do a Deluxe Steel Box edition for Captain America.
This might be the best superman figure I’ve come across cross I can’t wait to get this one and the whole superman mafex figure
Can’t wait to add this guy to the collection.
Now I need to see a series of Captain America and Supes playing spades
It ain't a D Amazing Video without something going on outside lol
He looks great but come on, 150 $ figure with no butterfly joints?
Damn this is a dope superman!
Oh man, who made the wired cape on Sovereign Knight Batman? I need one badly.
Price totally justified for this figure and accessories wow…
