Good review! I have both the regular and this platinum versions and to me while neither is a perfect representation of Action #1 or Superman #1, they look damn cool. In regard to the flight hands though, and for that matter the flight stands, I do find it funny that they were included in these given that Superman couldn't fly in either Action #1 or Superman #1. He didn't gain the ability to fly until the Fleischer cartoons and the radio series, and wasn't adapted into the comics themselves until 1943.
Nice review as always, dude! I have the regular version of the Action Comics Superman and I plan to get the chase version as well (if I can find him). I keep the regular version displayed with the card stand and I'll display him with First Appearance Batman eventually, which I think they will get to pretty soon. Despite the boots being painted over I really like the regular version. I love the blue they chose for him. I plan to display the Platinum version with Jay Garrick and Alan Scott for a really old school Justice League/JSA. Hopefully, I'll be able to get him eventually.
Todd being cheap with using old body bulk but it's still better than the regular variant and that's just sad. Feels like Todd hates Superman and just trolling the fans.
A flight stand for Superman before he could fly but they don't give flight stands for figures that could fly lol
Holy shit
Blew my mind XD
I wanna see one of these with a cloth cape or a fleischer superman custom

The light blue looks great on the regular version. And yes, I would say it’s very likely we will get a first appearance Batman at some stage 😉
Would throw money for the Max Fleischer animated superman
So would I!
Would like to have this...but hesitant about paying double or triple for him... So that makes it not a priority for me... Oh well ..🤷♂️👍💀

the Platinum should come with a Superman Comics #1 card. Not the Action Comics #1 card.
EXACTLY!! Nice to see you caught that too. I guess Mcfarlane was in too much of a hurry to notice.
