- Accurately scaled real fabric costume capturing the classic heroic look with detailed sculpted costume accents
- Poseable cape with wire along the outer edge for dynamic, flowing display options
- Extensive accessories including multiple interchangeable hands (fists, flying, grabbing), attachable lightning bolt effect, Mr. Mind figure, and Mr. Atom’s damaged head
- Over 32 points of articulation supporting fluid and natural poses, including double-jointed elbows and knees, torso tilt, and enhanced ankle rocker
- Collector-friendly deluxe packaging with a translucent acetate slipcover allowing for easy display or removal
- Neat, clean, and precise paintwork on eyes and facial features, with subtle golden fabric accents matching belt and chest lightning bolt
Cons
- Costume sash sewn on too high, limiting adjustment and causing odd fit in poses
- Sagging crotch area in pants affecting the fitted look of the costume, requiring manual adjustment
- Cape collar difficult to shape properly, may require ironing or extra effort to achieve desired look
- Bulky eyebrows on all head sculpts detract slightly from face authenticity
- Some minor paint imperfections noted on teeth and cheeks of smiling head
- Small, delicate accessory parts (Mr. Mind and wires) are fragile and require careful handling
