Super Friends Superman PIC

[The Toyroom]

Doesn't look like SF Superman....looks like one if those Put-Your-Face-On-A-Figure that they do...

Pass, pass, pass!

I'm not totally in love with it. They got elements of it right, but I think they should have looked to the DC Direct figure and maquette for translating these into 3D. They nailed the SF look. I agree the teeth are what's really throwing it off for me.

Arrrg! I was so looking forward to the SF line. But that head sculpt is terrible! I don't like it at all. The costume is nice. I like the details. I would be willing to reserve judgement on the boots and head size until we see the actual production version. But to me, SF Superman should have a grin, not a grimace! I hope that it will look better in final form, otherwise it may get it for the costume but not the head.

Good observation. Why can a figure line from 12+ years ago pretty much nail it, and this one be so off?

The teeth are throwing the head sculpt off for me. I like the suit though.

^^^What he said^^^

I'm not sure that I would be able to identify the line inspiration for this figure (Super Friends) if I stumbled across this by itself.

I also think the chest emblem is too small.

[thunderbolt]

^^ didn't even notice the chest emblem, the goofy head killed it for me.

I would be willing to reserve judgement on the boots and head size until we see the actual production version.

The prototypes (or early photos) and the production versions have always been exactly the same with FTC. What we will get will be exactly like this. So yep it's a dud.

I'm loving those boots! I really hope they sell those in the store as well.

Oversized head again. Counting Bizarro, that's two figures I definitely would have bought that I'm going to have to skip now.

If Batman wave 4 has the melon heads I'm done with FTC. Modern Batman and Scarecrow are figures I've wanted for years and if FTC screws them up there's really no point in me bothering with FTC anymore.

[CrimsonGhost]

I think the sculpt probably started out looking pretty good, but the head got squeezed during the hollow casting process. I'm assuming, I have no idea really.

It does look like SuperFriends.

I was thinking a smiling Superman as well. Even the Mattel version looks more cartoon like than this one.

I was expecting a smiling superman but I don't hate this. I look forward to a better photo.

[Toycade]

I think the Robin was so impressive, anything that followed was going to feel like a let down. Adding teeth is tough. They almost always make a figure look British or constipated. Overall, I think it is good but not great. I am sure we will sell a gazillion of them regardless. Going to be a great line.

How is it that after 40 vears these companies Emce and FTC are making these huge doll heads (Bizarro, Alfred , Salt vampire, Pike, SMDM).
This is making me wan't to quit collecting remegos and move on to something else
