I do not even collect Marvel or DC MAFEX action figures, But to me, Both the HUSH along with the Dark Knight Returns Superman figures are 1000% the best 6 inch scale comic book Superman figures ever and the Batman The Dark Knight Returns animated movie is better than Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice, Great review on this really awesome Superman figure Shartimusprime.
As a huge superman fan, this figure stood out to me so much from anything else of recent. I absolutely adore everything about it. Sculpt, bright blues and red. The gorgeous logo, the articulation, the hair and boots. Just everything makes sense. So I agree it's one of the best superman figures of recent years. Since neca 78 and dc icons superman, in my opinion.
In the comics, Superman's cape is often depicted as ankle long. The only mainstream version of Superman I can think of with a short cape is Chris Reeve.
@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 Yeah, you're right bout that, tho I forgot to specify "modern mainstream" or "post crisis", tho, 80s I remember more longer capes. All-Star's aint particularly good imo, looks like a weird blanket put over his shoulders. TAS was also fairly inconsistent due to animation variation, but by the JL/JLU time it was drawn ankle-long fairly consistently. Long cape ftw
@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 considering they are so popular its silly that they dont make characters like superman batman spiderman etc in perpetual abundance for ppl to buy
@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 so, if they are popular, why not make more? And to put thing in perspective, rarity is judged by how difficult is to find, not by being popular nor the price. They are out there so it's not rare unless they were numbered and limited to for example 250pcs.
@@jedistreaming4006 When I said rare I was more so referring to there not being a lot of Superman figures made in this scale in general, add to that the few that were for awhile before more recently that were considered good like Neca's Superman was SDCC.
This is definitely an amazing figure. One of Mafex’s best. But I still out hush and cyborg Superman over him tbh. This supes is spot on with Frank millers artwork in TDKR. But the hush Superman is my definitive Superman in 6 inch form. And cyborg Superman is just a phenomenal reuse of that base body.
Best Supes Ever?- Of course not........but yes it is. Personally I prefer more cape in this instance. Posing him in flight with a large wired cape looks very good.
Nice review! that being said though this is how much figures will actually cost you though if you need brand new molding, multible swap hands, head, premium deco and cloth capes and accessories. $100
As nice as these Mafex offerings are I will always and forever be itching for a proper domestically made 6inch DC line of consistent quality. A Marvel Legends kinda thing but for DC characters. If we could finally get that then I’d die happy.
I have the Mafex Superman from Hush which I love. This Superman looks good but isn't for me. I did order Cyborg Superman though so I guess I'll mix them.
I don’t know if you’ll respond, but I hope you get the 1:12 Amazing Spider-man that’s gonna be released this month. I preordered last month and I’m stoked!
It's weird how mafex Dark Knight Returns Batman is not only taller than his respective superman but his head is way bigger than Supes as well. The scale is a little off to me.
Looks good for what it is, but not my thing. I don’t like the Dark Knight Returns at all, so I’m only complimenting it purely by accuracy. I know I sound pompous, but I think my own custom is the best. I put the best of everything in the pot and made an ultimate Superman.
I'm not a fan of the Frank Miller art style. He always picks two or three features and over exaggerates them. I'm also not a fan of soft good on my action figures. And, as always, MAFEX is very gappy when you pose them. I know, I'm bitching and complaining. Should I not comment if I don't like a figure?

Superman Fleischer,60s-70s,80s and Tas has short cape plus all star Superman comics and cartoons personally I prefer long

Long cape ftw
Glad to see you doing different reviews besides legends, love this channel
Excellent review and amazing figure. I think you'd love Cyborg Superman too. The spiderman rant at Superman in the end was glorious. 🤣
Mafex is 3 for 3 making top-tier Superman figures 1st with Hush, Black suit and now TDKR. If only we could get one with a smiling face.
This is probably my favorite big time spider-man bits so far! Granted I haven’t seen all of them but this one really made me laugh.
Big Time Spidey being escorted away, LOL. @7:30 Great review!
Lol it was done so well
dug the new intro and loved the big time let down stop motion today!
I can not get enough of the Superman figures. Great review as always
Literally just picked this figure up today and I LOVE it!
I always liked the look of this Superman you really get that *Man Of Steel* vibe in the best way
I liked the new intro. Nice lil tease of the figure and a sick fill 🥁
He looks awesome!
Why are Spider Man and Superman so hard to find? I understand Spidey being expensive but damn, i can't find a Superman in stores.
Because popularity and good Superman figures/figures in general from this scale being pretty rare.
@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 considering they are so popular its silly that they dont make characters like superman batman spiderman etc in perpetual abundance for ppl to buy
@Pixol Jef They'd rather do mutiple releases of a similar figure than increase stock for some reason.

I like this Superman I have this one but just like you I like the Mafex hush Superman better the one I wanted

I really do like the new intro with the images and drums :)
Did you hear mcfarlane is making a dark knight trilogy line of figures?
Man, I wish this Superman was based off a different art style. As a figure though, yes it is top quality.
The stop motion segment was hilarious 😂 But cmon man, that articulation segment… I couldn’t see squat!
This would blend really well with Jada's Street Fighter figures due to the wide body types they got going on.
That was my favorite spiderman bit
Love the intro format
Lol, the stop motion segment got me.
Okay, drums and photo reel at the start was dope. I dig it. Hope it's a staple.
The Mafex chunky Superman and Batman's are my favorites. bought doubles of them all. Also love the hush and Cyber Superman.
I think you should have a mafex homelander and Billy butcher
I like the hush 1 better but missed out on it I'm hoping they put out a good 1 in the superman line their doing the cyborg superman is great
Now that's a better intro BUT keep the theme PLEASE !!!!
Very funny stop-motion segment, shartimus! Lol
That was cool seeing the ACBA at the start of the video
serious gigachad mug on this figure
hi, have you ever done a mafex triumphant batman review? i cannot find one in your list of videos.
Fan of the new format
Sweet figure!
I like it when you change it up
Hasbro and McFarlane, watch and learn. So many set of different hands!
Head with a smiling face would be nice. I mean this is Superman we are talking abut here..
I have the Mafex Superman from Hush which I love. This Superman looks good but isn't for me. I did order Cyborg Superman though so I guess I'll mix them.
Cool new intro
Does this look good with the hush Batman? Because hush Superman is worth my soul
Look up "Bones and the Necro Zoo". He does an incredible custom job on that McFarlane Superman. I'd argue his looks better than the Mafex.
Love it
This looks like giga chad
I don’t know if you’ll respond, but I hope you get the 1:12 Amazing Spider-man that’s gonna be released this month. I preordered last month and I’m stoked!
Looking for a really good Superman figure this might be it
Giga chad superman
Best ever!
If only Mafex will release a Mutant Leader, I'll be a happy man!
If I have one issue with mafex is that non of their Superman’s have a smiling head sculpt :/
It's weird how mafex Dark Knight Returns Batman is not only taller than his respective superman but his head is way bigger than Supes as well. The scale is a little off to me.
The best supes is the MAFEX Hush Superman
Good but the Hush version is better.
Looks good for what it is, but not my thing. I don’t like the Dark Knight Returns at all, so I’m only complimenting it purely by accuracy.
I know I sound pompous, but I think my own custom is the best. I put the best of everything in the pot and made an ultimate Superman.
