How are they not doing Keaton and Reeve? I don’t care if they were in 3.75.

Maybe not, but how about this Spidey?

Mattel did make versions of these 2 already, but they were around 4” scale...maybe a little bigger. The prototypes looked good, but the final priduct was so-so.

This is probably only the first wave anyway. I really doubt they plan on making three figures and stopping.

Mattel has tried to start several lines now that died within their first of second wave :P

Sure, it's possible that if they think the sales aren't up to snuff that they'll cancel the line, but right now there's no reason to believe that will happen. If everyone gets all elitist and turns their noses up at the figures because they don't look as good as Figuarts, they'll probably cancel it.

I thought Mattel already had the rights to Reeve's likeness. I mean, they made a 3 3/4 inch version.


Also, what about Neca? They made a 7 inch version a little while back. Have problems risen since then?


Also, pushing back a Stamp Zod makes perfect sense if they can't get Reeve. I mean, we all know the horror stories of last time when NOBODY could find Superman.

Man, my R Us still has SIX of those 3.75" Zods on the pegs at full price haha

The statement about no Reeve or Nicholson is likely very true. Sounds about right. Honestly, no Reeve Superman is going to beat the NECA one. Just buy that one before it’s too late. Mattel already made a Reeve and it sucked. Not sure why they even paid for the likeness when the figure doesn’t even resemble him. They did use an image from the movie, that looked like him😉
Seriously not trying to be super negative about this line, but all I see is Mattel has found a way to end NECA’s DC movie line. So instead of shrunk down versions of 1/4 scale amazing sculpts, we get these Mattel Multiverse.

I blame DC for a really bad decisions in 2017, and 2018 has shown no promise. DC movies have struggled, all the figure companies are taking a bath in JL stuff. The only company right now that has the edge with DC (IMO) is MAFEX. They have a little bit of everything, and they are doing an excellent job with making QC changes. Now if only the prices weren’t so high.

I would also wager a not-insignificant amount of money that the reason NECA's DC vs. Preds and Aliens packs were delayes was due to Mattel sticking their nose into the business, though I have no proof haha

Honestly I'm kind of frustrated with NECA's quality control. The first Reeve figure I got broke when I tried to move the arm, then the replacements both had messed up legs(one sticks out of the hip joint too far and the other has one leg that's too long, making it stand awkwardly). If there's one plus about Mattel(at least in my experience) is the manufacturing process is a little more competent and they're more durable overall.
