SUPER MULLET HEAD SWAPS! DC Multiverse McFarlane Collector Edition Superman and Krypto Figure Review

[@jinzin1]

Idk if the people at McFarlane meant to do this, but super-buff mullet Supes *is a thing* that happened in comics. When Superman came back from his fight with Doomsday, his powers were practically completely nerfed (while he was running around with his black solar suit and giant guns). Cyborg tried to fry Clark with Kryptonite a infused energy blast but Eradicator got in the way, the energy filtered through Eradicator and was altered as a result, the impact of the blast actually ended up having a reverse effect on Supes and restored his powers, but traces of that altered Kryptonite chemical (Kryptonite X) where left in his body, and as such, Supes began to steadily absorb more solar energy than normal, getting stronger and developing amplified versions of his previous powers. Towards the end of that story, Supes' body couldn't manage the solar absorption and it made his body swell up like crazy. For a comic or two he looks like this figure, and before the end of that plot point, he's basically the size of the Hulk. Parasite eventually feeds on Supes and it wipes out the Kryptonite X chemical, restoring Superman back to normal (-ish; A lot of his powers stayed elevated afterwards). I can't remember the issues off the top of my head but if you look into "Superman: Man of Steel" comics from the 90's that story starts coming to a head around issues #30-#35 or so. So if anyone ever wanted a Krytonite X mullet Supes, here he is... (Though I also wouldn't be surprised if McFarlane simply and incidentally fell ass-backwards into that since the box art doesn't lead me to think it's an intentional doing.)

Damn so you need to buy 4 figures to make one 85% perfect Superman. Well played Todd, well played

[@5POAFigureReviews]

For real tho

[@theguardian3431]

That laugh at the end was genuinely how I giggle at all of the jokes in your videos, man! Love your content!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@LochNessHamster]

9:55 That's actually a really good likeness to Tim Sale's Superman.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Great observation!

[@barq6994]

I just want Krypto. THERE ARE MULLET SUPERMAN AND KRYPTO PICTURES THEY COULD HAVE USED!!!!

[@MrGrandure]

Timber from gi joe classified snake eyes 2 pack is way nicer than krypto keeper

[@barq6994]

@@MrGrandure Yes I agree with the articulation, but Timber has scratches on his face and looks to wolf for my mind's eye of Krypto

[@pmgerard]

Not really. Krypto the Super Dog never existed during the mullet period. He was retconned out in Crisis and not brought back until a decade after the mullet.

[@barq6994]

@@pmgerard I found a picture. Superman is hair drying the mullet and Krypto's behind him getting a face full of air.

[@muhimenrahman6235]

dont know why..everytime I see that superboy prime sculpt ...it feels so fresh and unique...I think its the best looking one

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's a great figure

[@nocturnaldreamzz]

Honestly I’d probably order the head itself. It’s cool. Great review, as usual!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you!

[@jsmith1095]

Well....lets hope the next Superman will look better. Fingers crossed for a decent classic version.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Here's hoping!

[@christhornton8219]

I like the Atomic skull version. I use that as my classic version right now.

[@jsmith1095]

@@christhornton8219Nice choice. I started my collection late, so I'm trying to get a decent Superman and Flash figure.

[@DougUnfunny]

That custom combo at the end is perfect. Mcfarlane what were they thinking? That Dark Knight superman body would only be good for a Ed McGuinness style head and fix the S on the chest.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yes for McGinnis absolutely!

[@herringstheseries]

1:48 So WTH are you complaining, if it looks like the comic book version? 🙄

[@giovaniangel3]

11:21 I recently got both the supermen for that recipe and I might have to try this because it looks really good, maybe even better than the upcoming classic one. Always love your kitbashes. One figure you really gotta try making kitbashes with is the Deadly Duo joker

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I've been back and forth on pulling the trigger on that Joker, just because of the $30 price tag for so much reuse. But it looks so good.

[@giovaniangel3]

@@5POAFigureReviews I hear ya, but the kitbash potential is real good due to the reuse, take a look at my kitbash on my own review

[@breadlover302]

9:55 this actually looks real good

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah honestly I was pretty pleasantly surprised by that one

[@ShadowCommanderOne]

I just the chase variant but now I want to do a headswap with dnm superman 10:04. Dang it😅

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Lol yeah that one took me by surprise

[@motor1841]

Happy New Year to you Jason, great review as always. I like the DKR body but I have a few of that figure at this point but I wouldn't mind that mullet head sculpt :)

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@FanaticMitchell1]

7:35 I was hoping you would have thrown Rogue in there as a mullet sister Also, I just came from a New Orleans Convention and I got to meet Tara Strong (she voiced Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in The New Batman Adventures), the original 1987 TMNT voice actors for the turtles including Rob Paulsen and he even gave me a free autograph, Maurice lamarche, Peter Collins and Frank Welker 🤩

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I am so jealous!!! What a line up! As for the Mullet Bros, don't worry. I am sure we will see them again

[@FanaticMitchell1]

@@5POAFigureReviews Yeah, I even got Tara Strong's autograph on a picture of Twilight Sparkle and a picture of Batgirl from Batman: The Animated Series season 4

[@edrianraneses5864]

I hoped soon enough you review the new classic superman and the bizarro/batzarro 2 pack figures soon.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

If they ship!

[@willienatal]

My Superman mullet has a very wide face... wondering if it's a defective superman

[@mar-z6l]

Fair review! As Always great video!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you Mario!

[@MrLourie]

I bought this Superman monstrosity for the head and Krypto. I also bought two additional Hush Supermen which I'm going to repaint and use the mullet head on one and another for a Mezco Superman head with light-up heat vision eyes.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Good plan!

[@legogeneralgrievous3958]

page puncher supes with the mullet reminds me of the nic cage supes

[@dsmara-y8f]

I fear McFarlane will reuse this body to make an All-Star Superman figure. Also you really made me buy the Superman vs. Ultraman 2-pack because of that kitbash so thanks for that.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Look at it this way. You get a great kitbash, all the hand options you could want, and a great Daily Planet in rubble base, and a whole extra figure all for the price of just one of the new Crisis on Infinite Earths Build A figures!

[@Velvet_Intrigue]

Krypto and the mullet head are the only reason i bought this. I'll be trading out the trunks to use the classic superman to really make him actually classic.

[@speedsterjay]

RE: Trunks That's an awesome idea!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I'm sure it will be a lot better

[@fiercekrypton]

Rob Liefield DID draw him ridiculous. This is accurate.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

True lol

[@paolomongon6616]

Man...I just want a 90s/mullet Supes in ROYAL blue!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yes! For sure

[@Reach008]

Man, I was hoping the skin tone would match 1st appearance Superman for the hands. Any recommendations for that one to get two fists?

[@TrueBlueMajikDewd]

Would like to see the mullet head on the Injustice Superman.

[@garyt4556]

Hey man to make that “perfect Supes” to switch the trunks do you just pop the legs off?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah. The legs pop off easily, and most McFarlane diapers slide right off

[@speedsterjay]

My mullet head is currently riding on the HUSH Superman body (will attempt neck repaint soon) so it has the "S" on the cape. I was debating on picking up the pagepunchers Supes so thank you for making it so I know not to! PS: Do we know why McFarlane can't get skin tone or hands right 9 out of 10 times?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You're welcome! If only I knew! Lol

[@pants989]

I like this buck but I wish they'd put a wired cape on it!

[@scottmcclary594]

I baught a second mullet superman to put the head on a rebirth body with the a.c. 1000 chest and cloth cape that I kit bashed years ago... I originally baught a custom cast mullet head for that body but I fucked up the eyes royally and can't wait to use an official head!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@somarriba333]

I did a head swap with one of the regular Superman's head, either 1000 or Rebirth and then I gave the mullet head to the Dark Knight Superman body. Both look better to me now.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Glad you're happy with them!

[@megagrey]

Best superpet ever? Lockheed, with Doop as a close second.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Ooh, I was only thinking of DC but Lockheed is a great choice..and of course Lockjaw

[@megagrey]

@@5POAFigureReviews I honestly can't think of any DC pets outside of Krypto. Except maybe that Starro-Robin and Caru-Sil's recreations of her wolf pack.

[@Pravuss]

Man, they really did a crap job painting that figure. I bought it for Krypto, the best of the Superpets. Like everyone else I will be swapping out the head. Great review.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks l!

[@nostalgicotaku2977]

Funny enough, using the smaller heads on this sup's body gives you a pretty good pre-flash point, flash point movie superman

[@rickwj324]

My mullet head will be going on the Black Solar Suit body..just have to match the neck paint.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Luckily that's not much to paint.

[@keithwhite394]

I like this superman body its a nice change. Another head swap that works really well is the head from the red son superman

[@YEAR-1-RELICS]

I customized this Superman To look more like the classic death and returns adaptation. Comment if you like or dislike. Link below 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHXKmaiHZpaenposi=q0OJ2IVIHiOJ7L31

Great job 👍

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

2:04 Eeeeeh this proportions are pretty silly, his little legs and bloated torso look crazy.

[@tryksta7247]

I bought this figure only for a head swap with the Action Comics 1000 figure. Although his cape looks like it could make a good use on the new "Classic" Superman.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Interesting idea.

[@timothylewis2527]

I was most excited for the Solar Superman head swap. Not sure how I feel about it...

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed

I like the insanity of mullet supes

[@peacemaker3538]

Too bad we didn’t see the mullet head on the custom Superman you did a while ago

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Look for my Red Tornado video. I put it in there for ya

[@1one6sixth]

same you don't mention how he doesn't stand on his own very well in most standing poses.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Honestly I didn't notice mine having a worser problem standing than any other DC Multiverse figure generally does, but if yours is particularly bad I'm sorry to hear that!

[@lexispapi]

Reeve Superman was leaked on a list on Reddit and McFarlane made them take it down.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Interesting I hadn't heard that! I hope it's true. The last I saw anybody ask them about it, they replied that they couldn't do a review because of likeness rights. I guess they were able to come to a deal.

Man imagine being a bad guy and you turn around and just see a straight up *YOKED UP* Superman right in front of you…..not only is he jacked he’s sporting a mullet id just ask him to take me to jail and to be gentle

Amazon is having this figure released again and Superman is fully green translucent. McFarlane is really messing up with production.

That's the Platinum Chase edition. I don't know why they are doing it, but it's on purpose
