Well a few months ago I passed on getting this 12 inch Cyborg Superman while at my sister in-law’s house. They have a great comic/toy store in their town of Cranford, New Jersey(Hi Shannon). After knowing the figure was out, but only seeing it at that small store for $40 I passed, hoping that would not come back to bite me. Well after being in a little bit of a toy lull I found him while not even looking for him and I had a coupon too boot.
While this figure is incredible, it is at the same time plain. I think the great thing about the 12 inch figures from DC you get a great scuplt but you also get a statue. While the Icons wait for me to get enough space to really pose them, these figures come with a base which keeps them standing still. The only thing missing is the glass cover to make it look like a museum piece.
With the static pose aside this is a great figure. He stands the same height as the other figures and has the superior sculpt of the 4 Horsemen. The colors are rich and bright and the intricacies of the cyborg parts is amazing.
I would say over all another great figure from Mattel, even with the $30 price tag. You can find these at your local Toys R Us, and if possible try to get one of those 10% off to get a deal on the toy.
