Nice figure with one questionable choice and that's the paint.

Okay I get the blue in the hair in the comics but it serves no purpose in reality. The blue is too bright that it doesn't function as shading.

But the real sin is the face. So Lobo is a white alien. Of course in the comics he's colored with grays for shading or to make the skin less bright.

Why doesn't the color of the face match the skin on the arms and neck?
Either make the arms and chest white or make the face grey. I think they could have gotten away with making the face grey in my opinion.

I just don't understand why they did this.

Lex

Great sculpt and a great use of reuse. I think the difference in color and the different torsos all work.

Side eye, I don't know what happened but the designers fell in love with side eye and it's not good.

Superman Lex - technically a Darkseid Lex but I'm using it as Superman Lex. I get it but I would have preferred him with a cape and a normal Lex head.
Also they underpainted this guy. It's like the speed pursuit injustice flash. The Lexosuits dark parts should have been the dark parts for Superman suit as well.

----------

Also Mcfarlane needs to address the non existent articulation on the lower torso. It's not just this figure but all these latest batches of figures are starting to lose articulation even going backward. They can make new changes under the hood, I think it's time to catch up to Hasbro.

This Super Lex is great. That two tone / breaking of the blue really makes it work. I hope they produce something like that at some point.
