Welcome to the Darkseid!

[samurainoir]

Has it been confirmed this is going into production as a stuffed costume and not a muscle body?





Part of me would love to see Darkseid with the old Super Powers action figure gimmick of the "Omega Effect" eyes.

[The Batman Professor]

Plush muscles = EPIC FAIL.

Cheetah looks great. I love her. Darkseid looks good but I don't like that he's not taller.

If those gloves come off--then I want all future figures to have gloves just like them!

[Meule]

The plush body really doesn't bother me

I agree. The essence of what it implies is apparent. And overall the figure looks quite good. Now whether the final production figure is stuffed or not remains to be seen. But I won't be put off if it is. I think he's a cool selection for a villain. Well done guys!

He looks great, but padding? I was hoping for a bigger sculpt, thopugh not necessarily Hulkish.

(Check out the new bodies that will be available via TZ.)

To me it looks like the gloves are part of the top (perhaps sewn to it)

Been waiting for this one,he was always a favorite of mine,stuffed body or not just glad to so him in all his megolike glory.

[Mikey]

I don't understand how it can be plush ...

Is there a real body under and he basically stuffed his bra ?

Or is he a full rag doll ?

What's the posability if it is indeed a stuffed suit?

[megalomaniac001]

Even with the stuffed suit, I can't say it is horrible. I may have to see the final version to really judge it. If it is stuffed, I hope the gloves and boots are removable. Then I may have to get one of Doc's new large bodies and make a custom using this head and the boots and gloves. (If they will fit, time will tell.) On the other hand, If Doc can make a Large body, why can't Mattel? Still, if stuffed suits is how Mattel will bring us some of these larger characters, I won't mind, better than not getting them! (Penguin anyone?)

[boynightwing]

Its the prototype. Maybe they didn't have a muscle body ready to go for Comic Con so they made the best of it by padding his suit?

[EMCEtoys]

These questions have been answered in the general SDCC thread.

As for the Hulk body, I believe I mentioned that we have one tooled that the guys at BBP are using, and unless Paul hasn't mentioned already, that body will be available for those who insist on having a larger muscled body. However, that's not in this year's plans for Mattel production. So, the suit is padded.

I rather like the stuffed suit idea - gives him a nice amount of bulk and mass, and looks like a cost effective solution (I'm curious how the extra padding will impact the figure's articulation). Actually, the bulky suit gives me some ideas for future customs. Can't wait to see the final product (ah, who'm I kidding? I'll likely order two of Darkseid regardless!).
