Is he perfect? No.
Does he compare to the Hot Toys figures? No.
Is he worth $60? Yes!
I like him! He's very obviously Terrence Stamp, and his costume design is accurate. The marron is much deeper in person than the prototype pics. Maybe still a bit too red, but it doesn't honestly hurt the figure. It screams "ZOD!".
As you can see, he's actually in scale with the 12 1/2 Mego figures, which surprised me. I guess most of the current 1/6th scale stuff is going a bit larger. I didn't bother with pics of the DCD 13", as they dwarf everyone.
His extra hands are cool, but the guns seem a bit out of scale. The stand is sturdy and well-made, but the fixture that is supposed to attach to his waist seems way too small. I got it on him in the first pic, but I was afraid I was going to hurt the red pleather, so I put it around his leg to display him flying.
The box is a great design, but a pain to get the the figure out of! I had to work for quite a while to do it without cutting the blister tray (which he rests in and is glued to the backer).
If you are fan of the character and the Superman films, I highly recommend him. I can't wait till Mattel officially announces the Superman figure!
