McFarlane ToysDC Multiverse Superman: Unchained Armor Action Figure

Filling another hole in the collection. Happy to find this figure for retail after missing out on it early in McFarlane's production. Pretty cool looking figure and the articulation and quality you'd expect. Nice to fill a hole too.

This figure gets an 11 for the way it looks but like a 6 for its pose-ability.First the way it looks, I have never had a more beautiful looking Superman toy. The amount of textures and detail in the sculpting is amazing. It almost feels like Superman is wearing MJolnir armor from Halo as it has these platinum colored blue and red armored parts over some kind of composite looking black. The wings are an added bonus to his look. Be careful with the wings as they are not round pegs on round holes and need to be placed a certain way. They extend and rotate giving the impression of a cape. This figure is loosely based on the armor Superman wore in the new 52 limited series Superman Unchained but in my opinion this figure adds more color to it and improves on it. It looks like a Superman mecha suit. But in a good way.Then there's the problems. The figure is heavy like most in this line and he suffers for it. It comes with a stand too small to hold him well without posing the other leg in a certain way. My figure does not stand straight like the one pictured here. It almost feels like a slight design flaw on mine made the right leg just slightly longer than the left. Don't know if it was done on purpose because of the stand. That said, the figure still looks great once you figure out how to pose it. There is no double jointed elbow or swivel arm. But he doesn't need this as this is more of a collectors item than a toy as a well as larger figure more fit to fight Darkseid or the Hulk in a brawl than to hold guns or weapons.Overall a fantastic looking figure that will stand out on any toy collectors shelves.

Great item

This figure was wave 1 of McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse.I have my doubts, but in the end this figure is so great, fantastic painting.

Great design and color for size of item.

This figure is based on a comic book version of Superman where he dons armor. The look of this figure is very cool. It actually looks like a Shogun Warrior or Voltron that has the Superman crest on it. I’m always looking for something different to add to my Superman collection and this definitely fit the bill. Not sure as to playability with the figure. It’s heavy and the articulation points are a little stiff. I’d worry that with constant play it could break. But as a display piece, this figure is top notch.

Love this figure because of its detail. Heavy and sturdy and awesome to display.

For the design, detail, and the hefty weight of this it is at the very least the best value for the money on any MacFarlane I've bought. This thing is so much heavier than expected and so sturdy I think only kryptonite could bring it down. Definitely a good buy.
