Solar Superman: My 2Cents




I like this figure and don’t regret buying it. I really don’t have any pains to say.
It’s the same Infected, Dark nights metal, Bizarro, and Rebirth body.


Comic Accuracy
This is the costume Superman wore in the Superman: Lois and Clark comic series.
It is not his Reign of the Supermen suit. Additionally, this is based on the cover and not what was used in the comic. DC was terrible with this as the suits design kept jumping all over the place between issues and comic covers despite still being the same suit. I won’t fault Mcfarlane for picking the look that’s on the first issue of the comic.


Aesthetics
This is the same man as above except Bizarro. So that they all match is good. Even the AC figure’s head is still similar to the Rebirth/Solar design.
Simple design that just works. The body in all black looks great. I’ve said it before, they need to stop gluing on the capes, they don’t need to do this. This demonstrates why.
The boots might be the “weakest component”. My boots have some marbling which I like but ymmv on that though.
I do wish they’d stop with the camel’s hump fold on the top of the S. Just leave it a curved straight line.

Articulation
Nothing new here. I still feel my Infected Superman has the best joint tightness. My rebirth suffers from having the head and torso pop off too easily but that could just be my own figure.
This guy is good. No weird looseness.
This body never had the best forward articulation, but it at least exists. It’s one of the things I would change about this body and that’s more under the hood.

Accessories
Comes with two closed fists and two flying hands. Perfect
Could there be some other props and such?
Yeah, but this is a good start at having basic features everyone else has.
