yeah doesn't count. you can't frankenstein figures together and call it the winner. i'm just gonna wait for the mafex death/return of superman classic figure. their cyborg supes is amazing.
@@Toygains still looks like a janky mctodd figure. the hands are just as big as that mafex supes you pointed out and it doesn't have the S on the cape.
I disagree with you at the end. It is an okay figure, but it’s still a custom, so it doesn’t count. I don’t want to have to kitbash parts just to have a simple classic Superman figure. I prefer just stock figure where I don’t have to pay extra $$$ for parts to make the figure better. So far, the best Superman figure is the one that came in a two pack with a xenomorph from NECA. No mod of any kind. It’s exactly how he is supposed to look, he can pose, has perfect colors, and has cloth cape with yellow S on the back. Mafex made some really good Superman figs, like Hush and DKR, but the colors look off, and body type and faces look wrong. Mezco is nice, but for accessories only, but the figure needs serious swap of the entire blue suit to make it better and it’s not worth the headache. So the very best one so far is Superman/Alien 2-pack from Neca.
You had me at SUPERMAN, lol! Another spot on video, Brother. Superman is my most favorite superhero of all time. DC overall is my favorite. I know I’ve commented to you before that you clearly like a lot of other lines and characters, but to me, your passion comes out more for DC. Maybe it’s just my own bias, but in any case, I’m enjoying your videos, man. Keep it up. I can already see it. “DC Toy Gains”…That’s the ticket!! Lol! God bless you, Brother.
@@Toygains Heck yeah! Classic Hal Jordan GL and a classic Arthur head sculpt Aquaman. I’m kinda “meh” on the unmasked rebirth Bats, though. Did you hear the rumor going around that this wave might be higher priced because a code for a digital build a figure piece is being included? I don’t know how I feel about that or who asked for that, but I guess we’ll see what the final look and price is in a couple of hours.
Also, can’t really say the McFarlane Superman is as good as all the others if you had to customize it to be ideal to you and considering that the customize said you had to buy a two pack and a single release, which all adds up to about 60 to 70+ shipping and tax depending on where you’re from basically makes it just as expensive as either of the mafex Superman which are straight up better
Dawg. 20 bucks a figure many characters to choose from with different body bucks and molds or 100 a figure that doesn’t scale with anything beside trash hasbro and same body bucks for everything…
@@fistfoo dude what are you talking about? Mefix figures scale with pretty much anything that is 6 inch that includes marble legends, G.I. Joe’s, Power Ranger, lightning collection, old DCUC figures, arts, and dignas Meanwhile, McFarlane figures don’t even skill with each other we have characters like wonder, wonder woman being taller than both Batman and Superman characters like Tim being as tall as Batman yet Batman, being shorter than Nightwing talking about the character selection of the DC Multiverse line it’s Batman and Superman
@@fistfoo there’s a reason why the hush mafex Batman was going for $200 on the aftermarket even though it’s been re-released a total of six times by most is considered best representation of the character in that scale
@@gabrielmorenomartinez3137 you just named like 8 different brands under the hasbro umbrella lol… and guess what every single one of them figures all share the same body lmaoo it’s no wonder their stocks are down. People seeing through their business practices. I once wanted the mafex hush Batman you are talking about…I own hush Jason Todd as hush from mafex as a matter of fact it sits in storage and I have no real use for it other then looking at it from time to time. It’s a great figure yeah but, if I want to get figures that scale with it from dc imma have to spend over 400 dollars… the Mattel dc essentials are not better sculpt wise, accessory wise or valuable wise…then Mcfarlane it’s just that simple. Like I said dawg… you collect mafex or mezco ? You’ll have 20 figures in your collection that costs over 1500 dollars and then you got Mcfarlane you’ll get 50+ figures for 1500 probably…it’s really not a competition especially considering the characters Mcfarlane is putting out. Scale can be an issue with Mcfarlane but there are fixes you can do that are FREE and they’ll be taller or you can exacto knife a piece and boom better than before… there’s none of that with opposing companies. It’s just the truth. Hasbro now charging 40 for garbage figures it’s a joke to collect that ish. Love marvel tho but hasbro only care about one thing $$$. I do appreciate mafex and mezco but, no one buys 10 of their figures for $1000+ and feels good about it meanwhile someone can order 40 figures from Mcfarlane for 1000+ like c’mon now ! And quantity isn’t over quality but Mcfarlane at least gives you new body bucks from time to time and tries to give you figures of characters you are never gonna see…
I like the Superman you put together… well done For $20 McFarlane is goid choice I have the others mentioned and they are nice … but certainly expensive
I have the Mezco Superman and he's an awesome figure with amazing accessories. He's my only "definitive" Superman but I don't feel the need to get any more Superman figures for the forseeable future due to him being so great. The main issue I notice is his neck being weird looking but that can be hidden pretty well with posing. I'm surprised more companies don't do heat vision accessories because that's what sold me on the Mezco.
I think the McF Supes looks better than the others for sure. Agree with you there. But my favorite Superman figure is from the Neca DC/Darkhorse 2 pack.
Totally disagree with you on the Mafex Superman. It’s objectively one of the best 6inch classic looking Superman. Yes he’s the dark knight Superman, but he still has the classic Superman colors. We don’t have another 6inch classic Superman with that much articulation, that much presence, that many accessories, and that much paint. Put the hush Superman against the 20th anniversary cap and he gets dwarfed. I want my supes to be beefier than my Batman, not the same size. There’s not another classic colored Superman in six inch scale that compares. To say that it’s not any better than anything McFarlane has done is absurd. Especially when McFarlane’s darknight Superman looks like a burn victim (nothing against burn victims). Stand both of them next to each other and it’s night and day. Also kitbash doesn’t count. And even with your kitbash, somehow your Superman is still shorter than Wonder Woman.
@@TCC62for 2-3 thousand dollars if you’re lucky you may own 20 mafex figures. For that price you can own 80+ Mcfarlane’s. For one mafex compared to one Mcfarlane figure.. you can order the figure, a wired cape, a new head sculpt, some more figures a vehicle even or even a new bookshelf to display your figures. You can edit the legs to scale better, customize to your liking, add and remove pieces of other figures to another. Quantity is not ever over quality though and you can say Mcfarlane has made new body bucks, sculpted so many figures, released characters you’ll never see mafex drop… my argument isn’t necessarily about just Superman but the companies as a whole..I own mafex Jason Todd hush ab there’s no way I’m shoveling out $1000 for the rest of the wave that’s simply ridiculous. They are cool figs but not worth the price point. If you want Batman and Spider-Man to be the same height tho go ahead… I hope Mcfarlane gets the marvel license and makes all the hasbronies quak in their boots tbh…
@@fistfoothe title of the video is, “Which is my best Superman figure.” It’s not “which line is easier / more fun to collect and how easily can I go buy third party accessories and kit bash my figures.” The discussion is about which Superman offering is objectively better straight out of the box. Price is certainly a factor in that. The price needs to justify what you get in the box from the manufacturer, of course. But all the other things you brought up are irrelevant. They are relevant in creating a subjective preference, which if you prefer McFarlane supermen over Mafex supermen, that’s fine. It’s totally a preference. But when we’re talking about OBJECTIVELY which product by offering is better dollar per dollar, most of the things you brought up are completely irrelevant.
completely agree with McF. Aside from having the freedom/choice to enhance your figures since mostly the parts are interchangeble, McF feels good in hand. Sure Mafex is poseable, but like SHF it feels wonky and feels very fragile (even if they probably actually aren't). Like when i spend time with my action figure, the inner child in me feels good playing around with McF figs.
Great points! I'm not blown away by Mafex. And Mezco has their faults and looks weird sometimes. I feel like they may more sense at that price point. Where as Mafex just feels like a slightly upgraded Marvel Legend.
I don’t know, man you seem to be reviewing an artist specific Superman that is made to look like Frank Miller’s artwork which is stupidly, wide, big hands as if it’s supposed to be a standard classic Superman, which it’s not the hush, Superman is closer to that
At first I disagreed with your choice of best Supes, but after watching the whole thing I can see where your coming from. Mcfarlane lets you customize and make the figure you want. Nothing wrong with that.
It definitely is all subjective... When I look at a Superman 1000... I see a very good representation of a classic Superman... You can change the cape or the legs but in its original form it's still a damn good basic Superman... So many comments trying to convince you that Maffex is better .. Yet in my eyes that overpriced , small headed , bloated , big man strangler hands having freak just doesn't do it for me.... but that's the beauty of it... No one is forced to like what anyone else likes... We should just agree to disagree and leave it at that... Great open minded vid...👍💀
I like the kit bash and agree that Superman 1000 is mcfarlanes best. How has he made so many Supermen after the first one and they’ve always just been so off and often worse than the original?? Also what do you think of this new wave going up for preorder tomorrow. I actually think I like the 2 pack green lantern more than the new release…
Yeah you got the wrong Superman, Mafex Superman Hush is the best for 6 inch figure line, for me personally having DC icons it fits well, really well with the DC icons.
Real and crazy are 2 different things. Even with the mods still cheaper than any of the other 3 you mention. Mcfarlane is not perfect, but God's sake you can't beat the sculpts for the price. Don't worry you're ok in my book.
Mcfarlane is easily better than rest even having to customize it… 60 bucks for a perfect McFarlane Superman that comes with more figures …meanwhile Mezco and mafex’s price point is 100+ For one mezco especially a rare one you are looking way over 200. However, with that same amount you can start a sick McFarlane collection…wired capes and all it’s just not enough to beat what McFarlane is doing. Nobody collects mafex or mezco collects over 20+ of them and feels good about it let’s be honest. That’s 2000 dollars in figures and maybe you’ll have 20 if you’re lucky and the other option maybe 70 Mcfarlane figures….but, spend your money how you want lol
You guys are getting mafex from the wrong place, if you get it from Japanese stores the figure is only 60 USD and shipping would be 10 or 15 USD maximum
If you have to not only buy 200 dollars of plastic, customize and then buy a custom cape just to make a half decent Superman(because he isnt amazing enough to warrant a customizing job) jmight as well buy either a mezco or mafex and call it a day. This is an entertaining vid, but yea, I vehemently disagree with your take.
Supes 1000 as a base figure is nice. But the single joints are dated. Thanks for watching and thanks for disagreeing in a normal manner. I actually like disagreements when handled like this. People get is crazy sometimes.
So you’re saying mcfarlane is like the legos of action figures to mix and match. I never got the expensive brands. Mcfarlane is a great bang for your buck! Rebirth Superman with the red trunks and a wired cloth goods cape would be my optimal one. Three Jokers Batman is my fav version of standard Batman.
I'm really excited to see that Clark Kent figure by Muff Toys. The pictures look fantastic
Me too. Not enough Clark figures.
Awesome custom Superman, well done. Looking forward to this evening 🤘
Thanks man
That Superman came out killer! Nice work bro 🤙🏻
Thanks! He's really fun. Colors pop.

Of those I’m going mafex. I’m biased and believe mafex produces the best 1/12 dc figures
