January 30, 2013: More "Man of Steel" Toys Revealed

Jor-El Action Figure The LA Times has given fans their first look at Mattel's Movie Masters Jor-El action figure set for release ahead of the "Man of Steel" movie.

Additional images have been released of other "Man of Steel" toys, including Mattel's Movie Masters, LEGO playsets, and Funko's Pop! Vinyls.

    Mattel is releasing a Movie Masters line (US$14.99, arriving in June) featuring Zod, Supes and detailed versions of the movie's main characters that look just like Shannon, Cavill and the rest. Plus, Mattel's also putting out Man of Steel QuickShots, a new wave of figures harnessing two of Superman's best traits: flight and strength.

    Those looking for cuter versions of those two dudes - including the goateed Zod - can get the Funko Pop! vinyl figures ($8.99-$10.99, May) of each, with oversized heads perfect for one's office desk or toy box.

    LEGO has quite a few play sets spotlighting scenes in the movie, including "Metropolis Showdown" ($12.99, May) with mini-figures of Superman and Zod and a car just waiting to be thrown at one of those superhuman comic-book characters. (Heat vision sold separately.)
