Matty's fail strikes again with Superman movie figures

As with the GL & Batman movie toys I will be skipping the entire line.

The Batman movie ones went straight to discount retailers like Marshalls/TJ Maxx. They generally do not get items until after big box retail tries to sell them. I can only speculate that someone thought not even to try to put them on the sales floor.

I do not like the raised shield at all.

I think the sculpt and proportions are excellent. Shame about the articulation. Maybe Hell will freeze over and they'll put out a SP figure like they did with Spidey?

I was never gonna be interesting in the toy line without Supes classic underoos

 

[Monkeywrench]

That movie is gonna suck donkey cock anyway

 

[Falcone]

How can this company continue to get away with selling figures with such poor articulation for so long?

 

[K-Tiger]

Because apparently they have empirical data that children do NOT like articulation like collectors do.


Jesus H. Christ, it's like it's 1995 again.

I wonder why kids don't play with toys any longer?...hmmmm...(besides video games)

 

[K-Tiger]

They play with them, they just don't appreciate articulation.

Much like a hankerin' for quim it comes later in life?

Watching my nephews play with my joes, it's pretty much clutch them and bang them together. They don't pose or anything like that.

Good points...my nephews were over for thanksgiving playing with my toys (they were in heaven) and all they did was run them over with vehicles or mash them together in some kinda fighting style I've never seen before in my entire life...

of course i will have to get a superman. but damn, Now i will have to put work into him. Fucking mattell.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Looks like the head sculpt will be the only useful part

I can't wait to see Zod's Noggin. Zod is a definate must have for me since i had the old zod figure as a kid. Someday i will track that figure down at a fair price.

Last time they were up here was two years ago when they were 7 and 5.

Nah, he's talking about the mashing together part. I hope.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Lol, yup, mashing...

"I'm gonna mash your brains out when we get home!"
