I know that DC Collectibles tends to favor sculpt over articulation, but this Man of Steel Superman revealed in their solicits for October doesn’t really have either. It’s got two points of articulation – swivels in both arms to allow for a flying pose, I guess. But at 3.5 inches, there’s not the beautiful detail in the sculpt that we’re accustomed to.
At $5, this should hit a different market than normal for DCD, but I’d have liked a 3.75-inch figure like they’re putting out for their con exclusive Green Lanterns. To top it off, attributing the sculpt to Gentle Giant seems a bit incongruous for this kind of offering. What do you think?

As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do.

weird looks like the figures that normally go in the DVD releases at Best Buy, seems a no brainier to put it with MoS when it comes out
gruesome.
looks like a kids meal toy…
It’s the same type of figure that you get at Best Buy with the special edition of the DC Comics Animation Blu-ray releases. Usually just a basic articulation at the shoulders and sometimes the head moves at the neck.
Talking about DCC action figures..what happened to the DKR figs?
