    This video really helped, I'm thinking about passing up this one even though I'm a die hard Superman fan and collector. I actually chooses the Hot Toys Evil Superman over this one. My opinion.

      noway2009 Hey noway2009, Glad you enjoyed the show! Well, if you gotta choose, You made the RIGHT choice! Can't go wrong with the Hot Toys Chris Reeves Fig.. Thanks for your comment & support!

    And that Jaw..... They were trying to capture what they did with that AWESOME PF Statue..... but they missed a lay-up.

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Hey humanbeingill, Yeah, Sideshow kinda did miss the lay-up with this figure! Hopefully the rest of the DC line wont suffer. Thanks for watching.

    In the 70's as a toddler I started with the MEGO dolls/figures and Superman was a favorite. I remember him being stuck on a roof, and a tree from throwing him for flying action. lol But yeah, I've loved Superman as a character from a young age. Fast forward to today, I own a few different Superman figures, almost bought the DC Collectables 12' figure a few years ago, bought and then sold the Alex Ross Kingdom Come Superman figure, bought the New 52 Medicom Superman figure, and initially passed on the Sideshow figure due to the price. However recently found an online Toy store based in AU, selling this for $140 USD after S&H, so I could not pass this one up. Honestly prefer the aesthetic of this comic book version to the Hot Toys Christopher Reeve Superman, I have seen them side by side. As much as I appreciate the Christopher Reeve Superman movies I grew up with, I prefer a face sculpt with Curt Swan, Neil Adams, José Luis García-López, George Perez, John Byrne, Alex Ross, or Ivan Reis inspiration.

      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому +1

      Hey Peter, Great hearing from you! I totally enjoy your Facebook posts (What a Collection!) Though I don't totally share your "love" for this particular Sideshow figure. I know what you mean... He's a SUPERMAN - What's not to love! Superman is my favorite Superhero too! Thanks for your comments and support. Keep postin those pics!

    Thanks for the video. Was considering this as my first sideshow and match it with the new batman Gotham knight coming soon. But will wait. Like your honesty.

      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      TheBonjela100 Hey TheBonjela 100, Glad you enjoyed the show! I agree with you you should "Wait"... I would highly recommend you visit a store in your area that sells this stuff, and look at one live & in person to see for yourself BEFORE you buy. If you can't do that, check out some more vids. on this guy, then decide. Let me know what you did. Thanks for watching and your support.

    Hey Jordan another great review covering the entire figure with the likes and dislikes. The belt and shorts I don't like either and they could've added a few more degrees of muscularity. And those legs look too skinny for the man of steel. I got this figure and I have to agree with everything you stated. They could've done a better job like they did with Batman.

  • @jgtdragon
    @jgtdragon 9 років тому

    I like your reviews and very honest! I agreed with your point that this figure doesn't bring any nostalgia to any movie or show like how Christoper Reeve figure does. Keep up the good work!

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      jgtdragon Hey jgtdragon, Glad you enjoyed the show! Yes, this Superman fig. has its issues. Hopefully the next figures from Sideshow will be improved. Thanks for your comments and support.

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      jgtdragon Hey jgdragon, Glad you enjoyed the show! Yeah, this fig. leaves a lot to be desired. But it's a SUPERMAN so... Thanks for your comments and support.

  • @mocheeks2771rm
    @mocheeks2771rm 9 років тому

    You give a completely honest review. Lots of things I didn't like about this figure. One small nit pick could be overlooked, but 3 major things. Big things to be exact. That huge wide face, the poor quality stitching, and last but not least......That awful skinny body. Superman is buf not some small guy in a suit. Batman was superb and has the perfect frame. Superman can lift tons. And hold his own against the most powerful. Not this scrawny guy. I'm glad I passed on him. The price point for this figure is no excuse for the mistakes sideshow made. They could've at least used the batman body. That's sideshow for you. Maybe the Indiana Jones figure will make up for it when they release him. He looks good. You didn't kiss but and brag like a couple of other people on you tube, lie about how great this figure is. You kept it real. Thanks again on behalf of all the people out there who appreciate a honest review. Be blessed play nice. Peace.

    I don't remember if I already commented or not, but here goes...I really enjoy your reviews. I can watch them more than once and it never gets boring. I totally agree with you about this figure. I did not like it that much when I first saw it. Superman is NOT a complicated figure in my opinion and there's really no excuse why they can't seem to get him right. The 2 best 1/6 scale Superman figures by far are the Christopher Reeves version, and the Henry Cavil version. Those 2 are awesome, but I'm not crazy about any of the generic 1/6 scale versions. It seems like unless they have an Actor's face to go by, they just can't do a great job on the face. The sunken in cheeks, the overly serious expression- Superman looks like is ready for retirement. The Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavil versions are the only ones I plan to buy so far.

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому +1

      everythingisaprocess Hey everythingisaprocess (cool name!), Glad you enjoyed the show. I couldnt agree with you more! It seems a descent 1/6 scale Superman would be relatively EASY to achieve. I really think Sideshow just didn't "Care" that much in their production of this figure. They made a "Superman 1/6 scale Action figure, case closed. But I truly feel even THEY couldn't look at this fig. in Post production, and say "Yes, we hit it outta park!" Oh well, Maybe their other DC & Marvel figs coming soon will be better. Thanks for the comment, kind words and support.

    @supermanisbest 9 років тому

    Great review again jordan! Wonderful points you made on this figure, I agree that there are a few minor flaws in the figure that could & should have been improved but over all I think he's looks like a fantastic superman piece! Keep up the great work buddy ;)

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Hey supermanisbest, Glad you enjoyed the show! I agree, even with the obvious flaws this figure has, it's still a SUPERMAN figure. So, I'm takin him home! Thanks for your comments and support.

    • @GiftedMonkey

      nemass26 Hey nemass26, Yeah, It would have been cool to compare... I didn't have the BATMAN fig. on hand for this review... My Bad! Thanks for watching.

  • @jasonaustin4036
    @jasonaustin4036 9 років тому

    Yeah you said what I was thinking about that figure. I couldn't get myself to get him or batsman even though bats is a much stronger figure. The prices has gotten way out of control and I've had to slow way down on buying the latest and greatest and I wait for the ones that really grabs me! Thanks for another great and honest review! J

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Hey Jason Austin, Glad you enjoyed the show! Yeah, I agree with you the pricing of "Just ANY ol' 12 inch figure" being $200+ is very frustrating to us collectors. Then to have less than Stellar craftsmanship with a high price tag is where I draw the line! Maybe this was a misstep for Sideshow. We'll see on the next DC fig.. Thanks for your comments & support.

    Hi great review.i agree with you with the price.At those prices they need to be on point with this figures.I didn't get the batman and on the fence with superman.And there more of these dc figures.hope they do better

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Hey Badboy4life, I too hope Sideshow takes note of our dissatisfaction with this latest offering in their DC line, and will improve on the upcoming Figs.! Glad you enjoyed the show! Thanks for your comments & support.

  • @justinmitchell2577

  • @noway2009

    I've had a change of heart about this figure. It's not so bad after all.

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  8 років тому

      Hey noway2009, I do understand your 'change of heart'. It's just very frustrating to see that SIDESHOW could have done ALOT better given the price point they ask for these ICONIC figures. I'm just sayin...!
      Thanks for your comments and Support! Enjoy Supes!

  • @oschu7820
    @oschu7820 7 років тому +1

    Another great review!
    I own this figure and i'm almost happy with it. I agree with the quality issues, but i got this guy as standard edition in a sale for approx half the price. From that point of view it's really worth it!

  • @fanboy2015
    @fanboy2015 9 років тому +1

    Yeah, the trunks/belt feature was the deal breaker for me.

  • @deathmetalinyourface
    @deathmetalinyourface 9 років тому

    I have $45 in credit from SS! Is $170, with shipping already included, worth it?

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Francisco Valdez Hey Francisco Valdez, In answer to your 'Should you by' question, Id say it depends on how BIG a Superman Collector/Fan you are. This figure is by no means perfect, but, it is a 12" Superman action figure and there aren't that many 12" Representations of Supes around, So, for that reason alone Id say Yes get him, But that would be about the ONLY reason to get it. Also, with your SS points and savings, there's not much risk in buying him. Plus there are no new 12" Superman figures coming out anytime soon. So Go for it! Let me know what you decided, Thanks for the question & support! Happy Collecting!

    • @deathmetalinyourface
      @deathmetalinyourface 9 років тому

      +Gifted Monkey Hey, thanks for your input! Yeah, Superman is my favorite superhero. I do already own the Hot Toys Henry Cavill Superman, but I don't want to stop there! I just want a classic looking Superman, but wasn't sure if this is the one. You said that we won't get a classic looking Superman anytime soon, so I'll get this one. Alot of the issues dont really bother me. I'm going to display him with the heat vision eyes, and make him look down, maybe, that'll make his neck and head proportions look better. Other than that I think the figure looks fantastic. Thanks again for your answer. It really helped. Long live Superman! :D

  • @stewmurray47
    @stewmurray47 9 років тому +3

    Really great to see your opinion on this figure Jordan! I couldn't agree more about all the points you raised. The body seems too small and jaw line far too wide for the figure to appear pleasing to the eye. The stitching is actually pretty subpar but I think i 'might' still pick it up!! I've seen a fantastic custom done by Tony Mei which includes using a MOS Hot Toys body (which fits in perfectly with the sideshow heads!!). Also he made an awesome custom suit for him and the tailoring is top notch. Think that's the route i'm gonna go down. Great review as always....Good to see you back on the tube buddy!!

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Hey Stew, LOVE when you pop in! Yes, I bet the Tony Mei Mods are GREAT, as they always are! But if us collectors have to purchase a "Complete" Figure for around $200.00+, then turn around and BUY$$$$ extra things to make the figure Look Better or more accurate, What are we paying Sideshow for??? I believe that's THEIR job in the first place. And how can you get Superman "WRONG"???? DC Direct had the same type problems with their first 13" Supes fig. But in all fairness that older fig. was a pioneer of sorts, but now it's 2015 and MANY 1/6 Scale figures based on alot of Superheroes have been produced correctly (Even by Sideshow!) So, I don't quite understand this Misstep with such an Iconic, and in some aspect "Easy" subject! Hope they do better! Ok,I'm off my Soapbox now LOl, I know You, Mike, Peter and I as well as many Supes fans will get this guy regardless,. So, Let's make the best of it I guess. Thanks for watching, Stew. Looking forward to your review on this guy when you get em! Cheers..

    • @stewmurray47
      @stewmurray47 9 років тому

      Thanks Jordan!! I completely agree...for this price point, we shouldn't have to do ANY customising or tweaking at all....They definitely dropped the ball with him but as you said, us Die Hard fans are gonna get it regardless! I'm looking forward to reviewing him once he gets here. Thanks Jordan, keep up the great work!

    This head screams alex ross superman but then u look at the body its lanky/skinny. Like why didnt they just use the same body as batman? What were they thinking

  • @shawnj547
    @shawnj547 9 років тому

    No I do not really like that Superman that's the reason why I enjoy watching your program because you are very honest you going to tell us the truth about a figure yes I have seen those boxes in Hobby Lobby and other places steven has a ones to go on the wall they look like the old comic books they also made out of wood when I get the chance I'll put them in my nerd room

  • @humanbeingill2628
    @humanbeingill2628 9 років тому

    When I first saw the Preorder pictures I was like "NAAAW, there's NO WAY they're gonna give BATMAN a bulkier body then SUPERMAN, so I waited. Batman came out and I canceled my order because I think he's just too Damn BIG, but thought "Hey at least they'll use this Hugh body for Superman................... nope! They gave The Man of STEEL a SMALLER BODY than BATMAN!! LOL.... TOTAL FAIL!! Sorry for all the caps, but come on Sideshow! If they can't get THESE two right the line is officially DOOMED!

    • @GiftedMonkey
      @GiftedMonkey  9 років тому

      Hey humanbeingill, I too, don't get why Sideshow decided to make Batman "Bigger" then Superman! In what universe does THAT work??? And yes they could have at least used the same Muscular body sculpt for BOTH figs. This was a Misstep in a rather cool line of DC Figures.

  • @Fantastiverse
    @Fantastiverse 9 років тому

    Great review! You really point out some of the most glaring flaws in this version of Superman. And while I sort of like the fact that Supe's facial design seems to be based on the silver, bronze, and modern age versions of the character, it does (as you specified) leave me feeling a bit confused by the design's overall direction.

  • @denisbriere7465
