Ok, you sold me! I do hope he eventually does a George Reeves version as well. I can't be the only one who watched Adventures of Superman on Nick at Nite in the 90s.
I just found this Amazing piece at Walmart, I'm looking for the Chase, and I remember growing up in the 80s watching Superman Christopher Reeve is my favorite SUPERMAN excellent review and figure.
Not gonna lie, the Superman 3 evil Superman is one of the better variants they've done. It actually feels like a chase figure, not an accessory that should've come with the figure
i don't normally get super hero figures. And I don't get a lot of DC multiverse figures. As a kid I remember seeing this movie in 1978 and I was in love with it and is still my all time favorite superman. When this went up for preorder it was selling out fast on the fan channel. I was able to finally able to order one. It finally came in and once I opened and noticed he was in a very dark blue and an extra head with red eyes I literally thought I got a mistake. I came home after work and got on one of my FB groups asking about this and then emailed MCfarlane toys thinking I got a wrong figure cause I was looking forward to the standard release. Then I started getting the answers. I got a chase platinum figure. One guy in the group said "Lucky guy, congrats" needless to say it is staying the package now. Thankfully Game Stop still had the standard available so I ordered that one. Man I literally thought I got the wrong figure in the beginning
Oh my Lordie Hordie! They cooked with Reeve! I know peeps'll say that the chase is like that weird stubborn evil Superman but it reminds me of Brandon Routh which they cooked so hard on (pause)! If y'all sayin' that Cavill is the best well y'all are wrong, that role goes to the Superman I grew up with even though I'm from the mid 2000s, Christopher Reeve who has the honor of being the greatest superhero castings of all time! There wouldn't be the DCU or the Arrowverse without Reeve! We wouldn't have the MCU or the DCAU without Reeve and in fact! We wouldn't have Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, the three Spidey's, RDJ as Ironman or Christian Bale's Batman without Reeve. There obviously wouldn't be superhero movies today with Christopher Reeve
I preordered 2 and still waiting on em to ship but I was at Walmart today and just happened to snag a platinum edition Superman 3 variant hanging in the NECA section didn’t even know they were hitting store’s yet, the paint head sculpts laser eyes and accessories are awesome!
superman 3 was my favorite as a kid so i got a lot of nostalgia for that evil superman. its a shame how for canadians chase figures are almost impossible to get over here but i guess ebay is the next best thing
No it doesn't. It's the Superman III suit after he turns bad. It was the exact same color and the evil head goes on it. The Returns suit didn't look anything like the Reeves suit. The S was completely different and super small.
That's what I was thinking too, bro! Considering that Returns is supposed to be a sorta soft reboot continuation of Reeve trilogy as it's supposed to cut off the third and fourth film
I had no idea there was a chase version, until now. I actually just got the one I ordered today. And it was the chase. I’m not necessarily mad at it , but if I’m being truthful and honest I think I would have rather got the standard version.
It's extremely annoying that people are finding these, or ordering these from other retailers when the direct from Mcfarlane Toys preorders have not shipped
Just got mine today from Best Buy. And there is going to be another 89 Batman coming single carded with his iconic opened cape feature and a bunch of other goodie
I ordered from gamestop and got the platinum. I wanted the classic look. I was mad disappointed 😂 if i can find the regular in the wild, I'll get it. Otherwise, it is what it is.
I'm warming up to McFarlane's DC stuff in general, not just what I can fudge into my 6-inch display. But if I get this, he'll go with the upcoming Batman Begins fig and the recent BvS Wonder Woman.
I pre ordered mine from intertament earth it mine won’t be here in tell January but it look like there out early so hopefully i get mine soon I been waiting for this a long time I wrote Todd McFarland about doing the Christopher reeves Superman cause he kept bringing out the movie Batman’s so that’s when I said I would like to see a Christopher reeves Superman the best of all time then months later he announced Chris reeves Superman I was like what I was so happy I was getting a good Christopher reeves Superman finally
The white COULD just be some paint deco, but you could also be baby powder. I met a former Hasbro employee in Rhode Island one free comic book day that I was appearing there and he told me that some companies put baby powder into the plastic to help tamp down that new toy smell. Sometimes it comes through the plastic over time or in the trip over from the factory. Just an FYI.
Christopher reeves was my Superman I grew up with it be nice if Todd would send heat vision beams that attach to he’s eyes then that stupid red I eyes crap
Oh that S shield is bad. It shouldn't be raised. It should be painted on smooth/flat to his chest. And it looks like it's peeling off on the corner. And the red outer line is uneven. Thinner on one side and thicker on the other. I hope that's different for every figure. I hope my figures S isn't that bad m
Great likeness to Christopher Reeve from The Flash. Don't like how the wrists were done; joints should have been skin tone or the end of the sleeves shouldn't have been sculpted. And the raised S seems to be inaccurate.
I think they’re great the only thing bugging me on the evil Superman is that the yellows used are still too bright if you look up the original scenes the yellow looks very dull and dark
Are you saying you physically saw these at a store? How did you get them? Standard version looks so much better. Glad I got that one. Still, not as good as the Mezco Christopher Reeve.
@@AlexWestCollects Yeah, I ordered another one on Gamestop. The Mezco one is really good. I don't like this cape fabric. It's perforated. McFarlane keeps doing that. I love most Mafex capes.
@@AlexWestCollects fragile? :O I've had mine almost ten years and it's been posed a lot and no issues. A mix between that NECA (with it's still more realistic head sculpt and it's matte textured suit) with this figure's height and articulation and wired cape would be almost perfect.
The evil Superman should come with a Johnny Walker's bottle and bowl of nuts. Lol!
By McFarlane standards, this is fantastic. Perhaps their best single release of the year
Absolutely
I think the best figure mcfarlane have done so far is infected superman
Ok, you sold me! I do hope he eventually does a George Reeves version as well. I can't be the only one who watched Adventures of Superman on Nick at Nite in the 90s.

I have a chase for sale.
Not gonna lie, the Superman 3 evil Superman is one of the better variants they've done. It actually feels like a chase figure, not an accessory that should've come with the figure
I honestly had no idea it was even coming out. Def a great idea to get out another version quickly
Yeah this definitely be a pick up. Hope to find that chase.
Your review is the reason I just purchased the OG version.
Thanks for watching.

Great, congratulation- The only one Suerman. Christopher Reeve, forever.
Thanks for watching

I was disappointed that Best Buy sent me the chase version lol
I would have been too lol
They really should let people choose when you buy online.
Mine suddenly came in Sunday & was hoping it would arrive before Christmas but is going to arrive Friday- this was an interesting preview.
I've seen a bunch of images where it looks like Reeve towers over Keaton but here they seek like they're the same height.
Yea they are def close. Keaton is probably a tad taller due to the bat ears
I preordered 2 and still waiting on em to ship but I was at Walmart today and just happened to snag a platinum edition Superman 3 variant hanging in the NECA section didn’t even know they were hitting store’s yet, the paint head sculpts laser eyes and accessories are awesome!
I feel like I’ve seen more ppl finding the chase platinum. Kinda crazy
superman 3 was my favorite as a kid so i got a lot of nostalgia for that evil superman. its a shame how for canadians chase figures are almost impossible to get over here but i guess ebay is the next best thing
the platinum chase superman looks like the suit from superman returns.
No it doesn't. It's the Superman III suit after he turns bad. It was the exact same color and the evil head goes on it. The Returns suit didn't look anything like the Reeves suit. The S was completely different and super small.
Had the same thought. It’s the colors.
That's what I was thinking too, bro! Considering that Returns is supposed to be a sorta soft reboot continuation of Reeve trilogy as it's supposed to cut off the third and fourth film
Great review Alex! What an incredible piece.
Thanks for watching!

Still instock at GameStop now. I tried ordering from Mcfarlane and they sold out. I ended up going with Amazon but happy to cancel that preorder now.
I ordered from BBTS and they’re processing soon. So McFarlane should be very soon
yeah no wonder i can not find anything people are buying 3 figures thanks.
Check you Walmart's just found 3 today at Walmart.
Not in normal toy aisles but in the Collectable area in Electronics.
@nnemov22 that is my point.
People finding them before direct preorders ship.
Just got mine today from Best Buy. And there is going to be another 89 Batman coming single carded with his iconic opened cape feature and a bunch of other goodie
That new 89 Keaton is a must. Def will be buying a few of that.
Got both today dope ass figures 🙏🏽
Both look amazing. And the batman 89 movie line is on the way
Will be buying multiples
@@AlexWestCollects same here
A little paint here and there, a custom head and the evil Superman can turn into Brandon Routh's
I have the regular version I found the platinum edition on mercari they look good they should have add a little grey to face for the evil chase
It was like powdery though. It wiped right off.
@AlexWestCollects question where did u get ur platinum edition from?
I ordered from gamestop and got the platinum. I wanted the classic look. I was mad disappointed 😂 if i can find the regular in the wild, I'll get it. Otherwise, it is what it is.
Wow!!!😃
I just got bought both of them at Game Stop. I also got the new Red Hulk figure there. ❤
GameStop has been pretty good as of late to grab these and some other lines too
Is the platinum version more rare or are they manufactured/distributed equally?
They usually are rarer
@ thanks!
I have the Mezco 78 Superman and this Superman also
Dude, there's a mistake there. McFarlane swapped extra heads in the packaging. The red eyes, are on the good Superman, and the other, is the evil one
I have both the neca versions of this superman the 6" and the 18" but I want this mcfarlane version soo bad
Where do I find this platinum chase edition figure?
I got mine from GameStop. I think big bad toy store has him for $40
I'm warming up to McFarlane's DC stuff in general, not just what I can fudge into my 6-inch display. But if I get this, he'll go with the upcoming Batman Begins fig and the recent BvS Wonder Woman.
Same I didn’t like them when they first started but I def have been buying a lot more.
i will buy both
Def both a must
Does he mean 78
I pre ordered mine from intertament earth it mine won’t be here in tell January but it look like there out early so hopefully i get mine soon I been waiting for this a long time I wrote Todd McFarland about doing the Christopher reeves Superman cause he kept bringing out the movie Batman’s so that’s when I said I would like to see a Christopher reeves Superman the best of all time then months later he announced Chris reeves Superman I was like what I was so happy I was getting a good Christopher reeves Superman finally
They are doing an amazing job. This was high on my want list. Next is a Nicholson joker
The white COULD just be some paint deco, but you could also be baby powder.

Wow, I didn’t know that! Thanks for the info!
How much did each cost
$31.99
Anyone know where I can get the chase figure without paying scalper prices?
I ordered two from GameStop and one was evil Superman
What's up with the 5 o'clock shadow on the faces ?
It's accurate for evil Superman. It's based off of Superman 3.
I think it’s accurate to evil Superman
Great video
LOS QUIERO.🤩🦸♂️🦸♂️
Can reeve hands swap with ac1000 gold label's ?
Yea I think so but idk if the skintone matches exactly
Christopher reeves was my Superman I grew up with it be nice if Todd would send heat vision beams that attach to he’s eyes then that stupid red I eyes crap
He dyed his hair for the role
Oh that S shield is bad. It shouldn't be raised. It should be painted on smooth/flat to his chest. And it looks like it's peeling off on the corner. And the red outer line is uneven. Thinner on one side and thicker on the other.
I hope that's different for every figure.
I hope my figures S isn't that bad m
I have it
Great likeness to Christopher Reeve from The Flash. Don't like how the wrists were done; joints should have been skin tone or the end of the sleeves shouldn't have been sculpted. And the raised S seems to be inaccurate.
why do you say the flash in particular?
Yea I’m not the biggest fan of the wrist and ankle
Joints too.
It’s from Superman 3 when he was evil
I think they’re great the only thing bugging me on the evil Superman is that the yellows used are still too bright if you look up the original scenes the yellow looks very dull and dark
Yea I can def see that
The review would have benefited from you spending some time on the chest and waist joints, showing their limits in every direction.
I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes it’s just hard to do or remember because I don’t want the videos to run super long.
He said superman the movie 1987.lol
What a big scam Mcfarlane did to us. It's just the color and it makes us buy that
Espero que mafex lo haga mejor
I’m not the biggest Mafex fan
Should have been painless
Are you saying you physically saw these at a store? How did you get them? Standard version looks so much better. Glad I got that one. Still, not as good as the Mezco Christopher Reeve.
I’m just not big on the fabric on mezcos. I ordered these online but they are also hitting GameStop stores.
@@AlexWestCollects Yeah, I ordered another one on Gamestop. The Mezco one is really good. I don't like this cape fabric. It's perforated. McFarlane keeps doing that. I love most Mafex capes.
hablo español
Hoping I can find a platinum of this, don’t want to resort to eBay
why would anyone need 3 figures that is not cool.
Display with each different head and 1 in box.
@@AlexWestCollects makes sense.
Open one & sell the other 2 in 10 years for a million dollars. DUH!
Platinum is a hard pass
That neca Christopher reeves Superman sucks
Yea it was good for its time but it doesn’t hold up. And it was so damn fragile.
@@AlexWestCollects fragile? :O I've had mine almost ten years and it's been posed a lot and no issues. A mix between that NECA (with it's still more realistic head sculpt and it's matte textured suit) with this figure's height and articulation and wired cape would be almost perfect.
Terrible articulation review 😅 bro didn't bend all the joints.
Thanks for being a troll. Happy holidays 🤘🏻
Regular one is disappointing, the chase is just awful.
