Summary
Offers a classic pre-New 52 Superman with a hyper-realistic sculpt and fabric costume emphasizing a "real world" look rather than a specific comic artist’s style. Unique accessories include the bottled City of Kandor, posable bendable chains referencing iconic comic covers, magnetized ricocheting bullet effects on the raised chest emblem, and a Kryptonite piece. The figure's articulation supports dynamic flight poses, though the stiff vinyl-like trunks and thick chest emblem slightly restrict movement and detract from the classic aesthetic, while its somewhat smaller scale compared to other characters may affect display coherence.

- Extensive accessories including bottled City of Kandor, Kryptonite meteorite, bendable posable chains, and magnetic ricocheting bullet effects
- Realistic fabric uniform and cape with sculpted chest logo and belt
- Over 32 points of articulation with double-jointed elbows and knees, rotating hinge shoulders, pin elbows, rotating hinge wrists, and ball-jointed ankles
- Hyper-realistic facial paint and sculpt, including soft shading and distinct hair curl

- Bendable metal-wire chains allow multiple posing options, including wrapping or breaking poses

Cons
- Thick, hard chest emblem with magnets does not sit flush and can catch or feel fragile when posing
- Vinyl-like, stiff trunks limit hip articulation and range of motion
- Limited ankle pivot and torso articulation partly due to costume restrictions
- Heat vision head lacks eyebrows, which some find visually odd
- Figure height is shorter than expected, smaller than comparable Mezco figures like Flash and Shazam
- Cape posing clip system is fragile and difficult to use without risking damage to cape fabric
- Slight paint imperfections visible on close inspection, especially around chest emblem edges
Original Announcement and Product Info
Product Description
The sole survivor of his dying home planet Krypton, Superman was raised by his adoptive parents Martha and Jonathan Kent as their son Clark on a modest farm in Kansas.
Having developed powers far beyond those of mortal men and imbued with a strong moral compass, Clark takes up the fight for truth and justice as Superman. Although he is based in the big city of Metropolis, Superman is a global hero — righting wrongs worldwide. He is arguably the greatest and most powerful hero in the DC Universe.
Our One:12 Collective Superman figure is digitally modeled to craft a hyper-realistic “real world” look. This fully posable figure is assembled on a signature One:12 body with over 32 points of articulation. Additionally, this figure features meticulously-crafted cloth costuming with sculpted details to create an amazing collectible.
