Superman

Red Son
Star

Summary

Hmm…Significant for its unique take on the Superman character, the Red Son variant presents a Soviet-themed interpretation of the iconic hero, reflecting an alternate reality where he champions communism instead of American ideals. This figure stands out with its distinctive color scheme and accessories, including a Soviet flag and Brainiac's severed head, which emphasize its roots in the celebrated Elseworlds storyline. Additionally, the exclusive tin packaging adds a collector's flair, making it a notable addition for fans of the series and the character.

Pros!

  • Unique Red Son Superman design with Soviet-era theme, including high collar, Soviet stars, and tactical gloves
  • Tailored, stretchy bodysuit with permanently attached belt, chest emblem, trunks, and cape
  • Over 30 points of articulation with double-hinged knees, rotating hinge wrists, and good ankle pivot for dynamic posing
  • High-quality paint applications with improved natural flesh tone, detailed eyes, lips, and eyebrows
  • Accessories include multiple interchangeable hands (fists, grips, flying, salute), Soviet flag with gold pole, severed Brainiac head with holding hand, and display base with articulated stand and cape clips
  • Bulky muscular body sculpt fitting the character’s imposing presence
  • Swappable head sculpt compatible with classic Superman figure body for customization
  • Improved neck articulation compared to the classic Superman figure despite the collar restrictions

Cons!

  • Severely restricted neck articulation due to high collar, limiting head movement especially side to side and downward looking
  • Cape posing system uses awkward cables and clips that are difficult to conceal and do not work well for dynamic flying poses
  • Raised applique chest emblem looks slightly off and not flush with the costume surface
  • Only one head sculpt included, no alternate portraits or effects heads (e.g. heat vision)
  • Flag is single-sided only, limiting display options
  • Display stand foot peg often fits poorly in the figure’s heel holes
  • Thin, fragile flagpole prone to snapping
  • Higher price point ($80) with relatively few accessories compared to other exclusives
