These things are like miniature Hot Toys. I love how the light plays on the fabric to show the outline of the muscles underneath. It's like straight out of the comics. Gong Studios knocked it out of the park!
Kingdom Come is such a landmark story, it’s amazing to get such a fantastic rendition of this version of Superman in plastic form! It’s an absolutely gorgeous figure. I’d honestly go as far as to say that it’s the best-looking Superman figure ever made at this scale (IMO at least; it’s totally cool if others disagree) I have always adored the color composition of the Kingdom Come Superman costume! It’s such a spectacular tribute to the Fleischer Superman costume from the 1940s. On a meta level, given that Superman represents the old guard/bygone era of traditional superheroes in the story, I think it was absolutely an intentional choice to give him such a retro-inspired costume As for the story itself, ogling the artwork is essential seeing a mast at work; Alex Ross is an artistic genius. Mark Waid also absolutely nailed the writing in a manner that successfully criticizes the proliferation of needlessly and self-indulgent edgy 90s comic themes while also serving as a love letter to traditional heroics Kingdom Come is a seminal work and an absolute must-read. I highly recommend it!
Have both Supes and Shazam. Prefer Shazam more but both are no slouches. The thigh joint showing may throw some off but after a while imo its a non issue. Def not a deal breaker least for me unless u REALLY are bothered by things like that. Would love for them to put out a Kingdom Come Bats and Wonder Woman. Thanks for vid!
This is an impressive figure. You did an excellent job showcasing the amazing details, especially that remarkable head sculpt. The body proportions are very "superhero"! This looks better then a Mezco. I think I may need to head over to 5K and get this guy.
Great figure i might get it. Maybey if the diaper was sculpted soft plastic , and a ball joint in the waists it would have been better. I think the upcoming dark knight Superman has a sculpted diaper and it looks fantastic. I’ll probably get this kingdom come Superman great vid !
I wonder why to this day, Mezco can't get the proportions right with bulky figures. We see a lot of these third party figures looking a lot better than theirs. Anyway, I just got this and I pre-ordered the National Defender from chaos toys. That one I'm really excited about.
Thanks for the review and the pics, Wade. I'll have to pass on it and Shazam, though it's my favorite DC run. Budget is a B!TV# Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Yeah, this figure has a presence. A whole line of Alex Ross inspired articulated figures with this type of aesthetic? I'd happily surrender a direct line to my bank account. Dope review, yo. I especially like the full body teeth gritting shot at the end. 👌
I just got the standard version. Pics/videos don't do it justice. 1 of the best head sculpts of the year IMO. I just wish it came with more than just 1 set of extra hands and a wired cape. Other than that it's great. I'd say it's better than most mezco figures
Excellent figure, but I would like to know if this shine in some parts of the clothes is from the fabric or if it is painted a silver color like Superman Transcend.

Oh yeah man! Really impressive for their first figures in 1:12 Scale!
Amazing figure. Definitely on the list. Thanks for showing it off
I just got the exclusive SHAZAM! I'm still saving up for this Superman. At the moment I have the BMS version as a stand-in.

Thanks for vid!
Awesome vid as usual , you helped make me more excited for this thing thanks 🔥
Thanks man! Yeah this figure is amazing. Not the most posable thing ever but it looks beautiful haha
The body proportions n the draping of the cape are the things that throw me off with this fig but I'd pick it up
If it had a wired cape it would be an instant buy.
I got the Captain Marvel (Shazam!) and it's AMAZING! Get the deluxe if you can!

This is my figure of the year hands down. They did a stellar job. Only hiccup is no wired cape.
Great figure i might get it. Maybey if the diaper was sculpted soft plastic , and a ball joint in the waists it would have been better. I think the upcoming dark knight Superman has a sculpted diaper and it looks fantastic. I’ll probably get this kingdom come Superman great vid !
Great video I can't until your Captain Marvel video! If either is still available once I can afford them lol I will be ordering for sure!
Yo! Shazam review is up now!

Dope review, yo. I especially like the full body teeth gritting shot at the end. 👌
I think if i renege correctly this superman has drop down hips as well. Awesome review btw!
Old man Superman. Cool.
Can't wait to see your Shazam review! Been seeing these for a while now, if Shazam looks good then I'm gonna just snag them both
My gawdd. Got this guy a month ago.. annndd the only thing thats missing ia a wired cape and buttterfly joints Other than that hes perfect
I can’t wait for mine to arrive, I hope it’s soon as I still haven’t received an email from 5k.
You donot need wait , just find 2nd payment to pay , they will ship
@ you might have just saved me, the website is not very clear about this.
i thought it was 3rd party too when i 1st preorder... now i need to look for the batman kingdom come from mcfarlane..

I agree with all of your points here. The heads look amazing and yes, waaaay better than mezco's Shazam
Excellent figure, but I would like to know if this shine in some parts of the clothes is from the fabric or if it is painted a silver color like Superman Transcend.
I finally had to grab this one after your review. I had been holding out but it’s just slap booty nasty and I needed it.
🤣🤣🤣 slap booty nasty indeed!
Very nice
Yes!
Wish they had a head with the red eyes about to blast his heat ray
oh yeah, that would have been nice.
The deluxe version be sold out
His gead is a little small, but his height fits with ml since his actual height is 6'3
Definitely scales with legends
I don’t like that the extra head and hands are in the deluxe
I agree. That’s weak
Kingdom come Superman looks like Jack Reacher
Who agrees with me
Or
Who doesn’t agree
naahhh
Another comment!
Thank you sir! Hope you had a great thanksgiving!
