Hot Toys Teases Man of Steel Superman and Jor-El

The hype is building for Man of Steel, and Hot Toys is in on the action with teasers of their 1/6 scale figures for Superman and Jor-El. I am assuming that Zod is a foregone conclusion.

I think these are looking good so far (as expected), but we’ll have to see how the headsculpts match up to Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe. Mattel has already set the bar with the Man of Steel Movie Masters, which is notable considering the smaller 6-inch scale.

Mattel Superman: Man of Steel Movie Masters Pre-Order on Amazon, Ships May 15

Man of Steel Movie Masters figures are up for pre-order on Amazon, but it’s almost like a straight up purchase because they have the in-stock date as May 15. I guess Mattel must have backed their trucks into the Amazon warehouse (or however that’s supposed to work) because in the past couple days I’ve seen the Batman Classic TV Series figures and the latest DC Unlimited put up for sale at the online retail juggernaut. Speaking of Juggs, wouldn’t it be great to get some new Marvel Legends on Amazon soon?

Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman Action Figure
Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters General Zod Action Figure
Superman Man of Steel Movie Masters Jor-el Action Figure – I’m guessing he’s shortpacked, because Amazon has sold through and you’ll probably see a third party price that’s jacked up

Up, up, and away!

Is NECA Owning 1/4 Scale? Reveals Man of Steel Superman Figure

We just saw the tweaks NECA is making to their 18-inch Adam West Batman, and they’ve now released a preview of their upcoming quarter scale Henry Cavill Superman from Man of Steel. While I’m not as taken with the likeness on this figure as I am with the one on Mattel’s Man of Steel Movie Masters, nevertheless I am thoroughly impressed with the rest of the sculpt and the amount of articulation (30+ points!) we’re seeing in a figure this size. (Click on the image for the full view.)

I imagine that this figure will see tweaks, just like the Adam West Batman did, so I’m not too concerned about the likeness at this point. NECA says this massive 18-inch+ Man of Steel figure is due out in July.

New Mattel Superman: Man of Steel Figures Revealed – BigBadToyStore

Online retailer BigBadToyStore has listed new Superman: Man of Steel Movie Masters figures from Mattel, revealing a new character and two variants for the line-up. Included in the assortment are Faora, an armored General Zod, and Superman with chains and key. I purposefully have not been following the movie news, but was a bit surprised that the new character wasn’t Ursa. I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to Superman lore, and don’t have any recollection of a character named Faora from the comics or the previous movies – but I’m not going to Google her now, for risk of spoiling myself for the movie that opens June 14th.

It’s not clear whether this is a second wave of figures or if these will ship with the Man of Steel figures previously shown – BBTS has them listed all with a 2nd quarter ship date.
