EARTH-2 SUPERMAN HEAD SWAPS! McFarlane DC Multiverse Crisis on Infinite Earths Action Figure Review

[@irvingdomenech4187]

Thats a great take on this figure Jason. Love the 0 points for pricing 😆but you are 100%correct. I bought the entire wave and $40 for a figure with so many issues a is a RIPOFF.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I feel your pain! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Reach008]

This Superman is actually a lot nicer than I give it credit for. I can’t wait to see the body be reused later on.

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I do surprisingly have 4 McFarlane Toys Superman figures and this particular Superman from Crisis on Infinite Earth's may look old but I like him as a good but old badass Kal El especially that head sculpt more than the older dark gritty Kingdom Come Superman, I may not have him but Great review on him Jason.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks Fernando!

[@luigiperp]

I’m glad I canceled my preorder on this. The body sculpt is really nice but forty five dollars for a figure with a belt that isn’t even painted all the way around is ridiculous. I’m sure they’ll use this body again and hopefully next time they actually paint it.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed! Happy to help.

[@WestonMuse1]

this has sooo much potential. i hope that if they reuse this for a classic supes, he keeps the cape.

[@santicollectionprime7128]

6:24 maaaan they actually did it, that's the Superman mold that they use for Christopher Reeve Superman.

I will not be succumbing to this wave and keeping my head above water rather than drowning in debt.

3/5 still seems extremely generous honestly

The new sculpted body and wired cape is what saved it for me, but I do see your point

[@zeroyagami7753]

[@tomfin-wo5vc]

I think you absolutely nailed it. Are we really at the point with mass market retail lines where painting the back of a best is going to break the budget? I have the full wave coming, but I think this one will be hitting eBay. As you suggested, I’ll wait for a better version on this body.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks! Much appreciated

[@0kdevv_]

He’s so close but so far. I don’t like 7 in figures, but the next Superman with this body will probably be a must buy.

[@Pravuss]

Great review! They did a much better job painting the belt on your figure than they did with mine. I might put the Earth - 2 Superman head on the Return of Superman figure. Might need a longer neck peg.

[@DarkDekicDuka]

More like Prices on Infinite Earths... inexcusable to not paint the belt on a $20, let alone a $40 toy.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

“Rotator Cuff” lmao that got me

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Not sure if there is a more technical term for it, but that's what I call it lol

[@rbruce89]

I head swapped mine with the first appearance as my go-to. The Hush trunks fit well but they're comparatively a little stiff. Hopefully the future figures with this buck will have the kinks worked out.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah that Action Comics 1 swap really took me by surprise. I love it.

[@PowerChordEPS]

I was curious about this one the most. I know the wired cape was a selling point but I agree that maybe this should've been the buck for a classic Supes. $40 is a ripoff for what you get though, especially if you have no plans on completing the set. That said, I think this was meant to be a Target exclusive wave first, but they said no.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That's my suspicion as well.

[@patriciomendoza19]

I really think this sculpt if the added a sculpted logo, could make a great Kingdom Come Superman

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It wouldn't be hard to clip the logo off of World of War Superman and make that custom, but I do totally see them using this body for that

[@reduxmidasbrother7679]

I intend on swapping the head with a custom Brandon Routh one.

[@JasonLopezII]

I really do hope this body mold is used for Superman figures going forward. Definitely refreshing from the Infected buck fatigue and it scales pretty well with other JL members.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Oh I'm sure they will

[@azeraph20]

I was looking forward to Warworld at 7:53, only to find his head was too small. Sigh... Really hope his reuse sometime down the line (that's not Christopher Reeve related) would be the definitive Superman. Fingers crossed.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

For sure!

[@joelamel8056]

Yayyy 😮 I love the DC videos... Rigamarole done 👍

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks!

[@pmgerard]

Earth-2 Superman is one of my favorite characters so I had to. That said, while I'll be on the longterm hunt for a new head, I may be giving him a trunks swap fresh out of packaging. Painting the back doesn't fix the tiny belt loops. I'm thinking I need to track down another Hush Superman. I hope you address this wave's issue with unadvertised Platinum variants. Paying $40 for these is unreasonable. But paying $40 for something when they might substitute an item is infuriating.

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Action Comics #1 Supes' head sculpt on this Earth 2 Supes' body is a perfect combination!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It really is!

[@OmniTrix15]

[@noble9531]

I'd just found myself searching for more information on this guy last night, hoping you'd cover him - lo and behold! I think this is their best Superman buck yet, for my liking at least, but that price is too steep for me considering the baffling unpainted belt, among other odds and ends. Instead I'll hope for a sale, or the surely inevitable (Reeves?) reuse.

@5POAFigureReviews Gibbs as supes is a underrated casting

[@dogwheeze]

I think the price is kinda ok, cos if you buy a wired soft goods cape somewhere then you have to fit it yourself, risks involved etc then it's worth it. I used to like buying soft goods and new heads for legends and others..but.. £25 for the figure. £25 each for a new head and cape. £75 so not good for what is basically a figure to have fun with.😬

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Fair point!

[@dogwheeze]

@@5POAFigureReviews don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy a price hike. But that £70-80 price I'd sometimes pay, though it can be worth it, got to remember they're things to have fun with (for me). So I'd rather spend that kinda cash on other things.🙂👍

[@daleksec4636]

I think a single cape lands on posability unless a figure includes multiple capes, which makes it a playability factor.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I can see that. And I tend to agree

[@landonron9380]

I noticed how the trunks and belt of Brandon Routh's Superman from the 7 inch scale Page Punchers Superman figure match, This Crisis on Infinite Earth's Superman suit, S symbol and trunks give me George Reeves Superman vibes because the symbol matches Reeves suit so McFarlane can try to do a 1950s in color and maybe a non painted George Reeves Superman figure wirh a George Reeves head sculpt but I guess the rights to Reeves is difficult to use on.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I agree, this is very George Reeves!

[@searcher7478]

The PROPORTIONS are excellent!! If only McFarlane always did proportions this good. Absolutely love the lack of muscle definition combined with the sculpted creases in trunks etc. Just looks so much more real and appealing. Cape is exceptional!

OK so I think I have figured out the reason why that and the new Ben Affleck Batman both do not have the backs painted probably because they have cloth capes and there’s probably something to do with the paint and it’s probably applied at the same time as the Cape, so it probably would get all over the Cape if they painted the back because they didn’t paint that belt they didn’t paint the back of Ben Affleck Batman, so maybe that’s one reason I don’t know
