November 12, 2014: Review - "Man of Steel" Superman Sixth Scale Figure

HotToys 1/6 Scale Man of Steel Superman Figure

Sideshow Collectibles is re-promoting the Hot Toys "Man of Steel" Superman Sixth Scale Figure, and was kind enough to send me out the figure to review. The movie-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Henry Cavill as Superman, featuring a highly detailed head sculpt, finely designed costume with embossed pattern and iconic red cape.

This Superman figure is easily one of the more striking in my personal collection. It stands in full view of anyone who enters my collection room, on my main desk. The cape is a vibrant red and gives a real flair to Superman's stance.

However, it's the maneuverability of the figure that allows you to truly make it your own. With over 30 points of articulation, you can position Superman in whatever stance (or flight) position you like, giving you a unique opportunity to create a different look to the same figure time and time again. The interchangeable hands add another dimension of personalization.
