It's not that common that a review gets me to completely change my mind on a figure. Most of the time the video will either be the final push for me to get something I was considering but hesitant on, or the final nail in the coffin vindicating a decision to avoid the purchase. This time, however, I went from thinking "Eh, if I see it in person I might, but even then probably not," to "Oh wow, I NEED this!" You did a fantastic job with this video, Jason!

I'm particularly obsessed with the S-shield on this Cyborg Superman 😂 It ticks all the boxes for me in terms of shape, size and general execution. Reminds me a lot of how it was drawn in the 90s, especially by Jon Bogdanove :) Thanks for going the extra mile with all those part swaps! 👍👍👍

🎉 Hi Jason, I'm really happy to see your video and got a really nice surprise to see that you follow my suggestion to have the height of the figures in cms. I know it's a little detail but it really help collectors outside of the states to know the product. For this I give you 10 points 😁

I love this figure and was able to find the platinum version as well. I prefer the platinum look better. The only gripes I have is I think his normal arm is too short/small and his legs are way too long. Proportions are off just enough to mildly annoy me every time I look at him. Thank you for another awesome review!

Honestly, I could care less about pinless joints. Since I like to customize, going pinless makes it harder to parts swap. Unless the elbow joint itself can pop on and off. I kind of want to see that head with a fully armored Ghost of Krypton Superman.

Why have you not reviewed the eradicator to go with superboy, steel or cyborg superman jason and when are you gonna review the black and white hush batman to compare him next to TDKR Superman and 1st appearance Batman?
@5POAFigureReviews2 ай бұрын
Black and White Batman *should* be my next video. If not next, then the one after it. As for Eradicator, like I said it's a version I don't like, and at this point only available on the aftermarket. For me to review a figure that has been around so long, that I do not like, and is so expensive I will never even break even on it does not make sense. If and when McFarlane makes a 90s version, I will. But otherwise, I will not be reviewing it. Sorry. If all you want is to see how it scales, it's just Hush Superman with a new head, cape, and trunks.

Does anyone know the height of Cyborg Superman Zor-El in the comics? Superman is 6'3", is Cyborg Supes supposed to be taller? I got mine just a week ago and before opening it I immediately could tell his legs were longer than the usual figure. I'm happy I collected him, but disappointed in the scaling. I wish McFarlane gave more of a damn for us collectors.
