My favorite Superman figures are the DC Direct Public Enemies Superman. An awesome Tim Bruckner sculpt of a Ed Mcguinness-style Superman. Also shoutout to the reissue from the JLA Classified Classic wave, in more traditional Superman deco.
And the Neca figure from those DC/Darkhorse sets. Unfortunately, passed on it a few times when the price was manageable so had to settle for the not so rare aliexpress variant when i was finally ready to pull the trigger.
Also, i see the Avon hairbrush in the header image. I had Batman, didn't know they made a Superman. I remember the batman one very well, it had these white sharp bristles that hurt like hell when I used it. -

Happy to see the Silver-Age set included, I loved those and the Batman ones, too.
My favorite Superman is probably the 12" Mego version, "movie" box but with the Parkdale head. (From Italy IIRC.)WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Those are all great! I don't know that I have a favorite Superman anything. There has been a lot of great Superman merchandise released over the decades though and I have more than I realized, being that I enjoyed Superboy (and The LOSH) more than I enjoyed Superman. But it has been really nice seeing Superman dominate with merchandise, with the new movie and all. And having Superman back in his red trunks is the cheery on top for me!
The one I missed though is the MEGO comic 12.5" Superman. I had the movie version which always bugged me as a kid because it didn't look like the comic or movie Superman. I wasn't aware of the comic version until I was well into my adult years. I finally saw one in person at a Comic-Con in 2018 or '19, boxed (not sure if it was new or used) for $200 and foolishly passed on it. I have been going back to this Comic-Con every year since hoping against hope to see it again.Comment
