00:00New logo, new Superman, same company. Here's a look at the brand new McFarlane toys, DC Multiverse, the Superman movie, Superman.
00:07Superman, Superman, same company.
00:37Superman will soon see the last of Earth, and Earthlings will rejoice.
00:41Well, I still don't think I like this suit. The S is supposed to stand for hope.
00:44So I'm going to be hopeful, though, that when the new Superman movie drops this summer, it's actually going to convince me that he's fit for this role.
00:51David Corners, by the way, though, I think looks the part. It's just really, though, the Superman costume that he's wearing really hasn't had me sold.
00:59Either way, though, we're going to take the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands.
01:02He's looking to be at about seven inches in height.
01:05It's going to be a bit questionable when we're going to be bringing in Cavill's Superman in a second.
01:09That's going to translate, though, to a figure that's 18 centimeters tall.
01:13Yeah, when I'm bringing Henry Cavill's Superman, there is a very visible size difference, and the size difference is going the wrong way.
01:18Henry Cavill stands at only 6'1".
01:20David Corn's sweat, on the other hand, stands at towering 6'4".
01:24So he really should be the size of Henry Cavill.
01:26Henry Cavill should then be the size of David's Superman.
01:29Now, there isn't really a whole lot that gets included with Superman here.
01:32You don't get his pal, Crypto.
01:34You don't get some swappable faceplates.
01:36However, though, if you do pick up the deluxe theatrical edition of Superman, you're going to get all those things.
01:40You're also going to get a fabric cape.
01:42Reasons unknown, they chose to release this DC multiverse version of David Corn's sweat Superman without a fabric cape.
01:49We're going to discuss those things, though, in a second.
01:51First things first, the figure does, of course, include it with a display stand.
01:55The circular black display stand maybe changes colors from time to time a little bit darker in some instances.
02:00Some lighter instances like this one right here.
02:03It still has, though, the DC logo branded down below right here.
02:07The far corner, though, there is a peg that can plug into either one of David's Superman's boots.
02:12Now, again, you only have...
02:12Ooh, don't drop it.
02:13You only have one peg.
02:14You have two boots.
02:16Choose wisely, my friend.
02:17And you don't probably have to choose wisely when it comes to the trading card.
02:20You only get one offer available.
02:21Now, this actually does have an illustration of David's Superman as opposed to actually source material.
02:27Kind of at least gives you an idea of what the Superman suit would look like.
02:30I still don't love it myself.
02:31I think it's overly complicated.
02:32It looks kind of really baggy as well.
02:34It doesn't really look like it fits to his form.
02:37Some prefer that, though, over the very tight outfit that Cavill wore for Superman.
02:41Which version of Superman do you prefer costume-wise?
02:43Let me know down below.
02:44In the meantime, though, it's a nice-looking card for what it is.
02:47On the back, though, of the card, his real name is Clark Kent.
02:50So it doesn't actually tell us that it's Kal-El, but everybody knows by now who Superman's real name is.
02:55There's a paragraph read.
02:56I've already taken the liberty of reading that at the beginning of the review.
02:58I've saved you the time.
02:59If you have other things you need to be doing, this guy behind the camera is more than happy to accommodate you.
03:06Let's move that card off to the side.
03:07Yeah, the only other offerings that come included with this version of Superman is some flight hands.
03:11That's it.
03:13The deluxe theatrical version, by the way, seems to have, though, the exact same hands.
03:18It's also going to include with three different swappable faceplates.
03:21And it's also going to come included with Crypto 2.
03:24By the way, though, if you didn't want to swap out the hands.
03:26Strange, though, that what the hands they offered him, though, is one grabbing hand.
03:30I don't know really what exactly he's grabbing.
03:32And then he also comes included with a closed fist hand.
03:35Mind you, if you want to do away with either one of those, you just easily pop the hand out.
03:40Find that hand that you want to then use.
03:41So we're going to go ahead with this one.
03:43And we'll just plug it on the peg.
03:44That's all you really need to do.
03:46And, of course, now Superman has a means to fly.
03:48Being that he has so many stripped down accessories, having, though, it included a flight stand would have been an ideal touch.
03:55But, like I said, this figure is pretty basic when it comes to his accessories.
03:59Getting, though, a closer look at this version of Superman.
04:02I will say one thing.
04:03Even though I don't love the costume, I think David Cornswit is still going to be an ideal Superman.
04:09I think the head sculpt looks quite good, too.
04:11The theatrical, I would imagine, is going to have a very similar style of face.
04:15I don't think they're going to be changing the sculpt much at all.
04:17Though the theatrical is going to have two expressions.
04:20And it's going to also have the heat ray vision eyes.
04:23So that's one thing, of course, this figure doesn't have.
04:25But it's weird, really, though, that you're looking at a figure like this and it has a fabric.
04:28It has a plastic cape.
04:30Theatrical is going to have a fabric cape.
04:32And it's also going to be using, I'm guessing, the same torso.
04:36The weird thing, though, about this is it attaches here and here.
04:39So it basically sits inside this sort of creased-in area of his torso.
04:42So when we look at the theatrical version, it looks like it only seems to attach right here.
04:46So it's going to have more visibility, more visible areas on the tops of his torso.
04:52While the head sculpt, I think, is looking really good.
04:54I don't really have any complaints from a standpoint of that.
04:57I don't want to bog down this review with my personal opinions of what the costume is.
05:01If you like the costume, that's on you.
05:03I'm not going to say you're right or you're wrong for that matter.
05:06I will say, though, one thing about the costume is I think the color isn't quite right.
05:10The red looks pretty close.
05:12But I think, though, the coloring of this costume is a little bit more of a lighter blue than this.
05:17Not the dark navy blue that we're getting here.
05:19The chest emblem is also something I think is a little bit darker in the film.
05:23This is sort of a combination between, like, Kingdom Come.
05:26I guess maybe a little bit like the Ruby Spears Superman.
05:29Or not the Ruby Spears.
05:30Max Fleischer Superman, where it's got the outline in the yellow.
05:33It pulls from a lot of different source materials.
05:35All-Star Superman is also one of the big things that James Gunn really took the inspiration from.
05:40And, of course, New 52.
05:42I couldn't help but also notice, though, when it comes to this outfit, that his color doesn't seem as high.
05:46It does look like it's a little higher in the film.
05:49He does have, of course, the panel lining here all across the torso, down his arms, down his forearms.
05:54It isn't as obvious here because they're just only sculpting in the blue plastic.
05:58I guess they probably could have gone in there and painted this a different shade of a blue,
06:02just so it would have stood out a little bit more.
06:05I think that probably would have made me like the figure a lot less.
06:08I think even the fact that there is as much panel lining here not using the paint that they maybe needed in the first place
06:13makes me feel a little bit more uniformed.
06:17It doesn't look like it has to be overly complicated and distracting.
06:20Though in the film, I feel like it's a little bit more of that.
06:23Of course, he does also have the trunks.
06:24Now, I know a lot of people maybe don't like the idea of Superman having trunks.
06:27I like the trunks.
06:28I do think that they're a little wide.
06:30They're a little long sitting, especially from the images that we've seen.
06:33Now, granted, this review is coming up before the movie actually drops.
06:38Some would then say, okay, well, Superman does get a costume change later on in the film.
06:42This is basically all we have really to work with right now.
06:44I like the trunks.
06:45I do think the trunks appear in the movie to be a little too long.
06:48I do actually kind of like the idea that Superman has a strong guy circus costume.
06:53That's kind of where the inspiration came from.
06:56Of course, this Superman does also have the Superman emblem there on the back.
06:58That's one thing I really think that I'm happy with, James Gunn including that.
07:02But again, it has a plastic cape.
07:05It almost really feels like...
07:06I don't know if I would say pass on this one altogether.
07:09Just choose to go with the theatrical version because the theatrical is in fact going to have the fabric cape,
07:14not the plastic cape.
07:15The body and the build seems to be the same.
07:17It also looks like, yeah, they're probably using the exact same head.
07:20But the cape is going to attach differently.
07:22I like a fabric cape.
07:23I don't know if I really love the way, though, the theatrical is going to have that attached.
07:27You'll see what I mean when we look at that guy in an upcoming review.
07:30Down below, of course, you've got the Superman boots there.
07:32They're a little more squared off the top.
07:34They're not as quite the points as Christopher Reeve's Superman.
07:37But again, like the feet look okay.
07:38And again, you've got the pegs on the bottoms of the feet,
07:40so you can plug them into the display stand if you so wish.
07:44For the figure's articulation, David's Superman is going to have a head rotation.
07:48It is very loud, though, as it moves all the way around.
07:52It squeaks and it creaks.
07:53You can have the head looking up only about that high.
07:56Wait, did I just miss it?
07:57No, no, it doesn't.
07:58I mean, it goes lower, a lot lower than it does looking up.
08:01Looking at higher up, that's as far as it really can go.
08:04I think a lot of it really has to do with how much sculpting is on the back of his hair.
08:08That really does, again, prevent much more movement than really about there.
08:12I mean, like, it would be nice, ideally, if maybe they could have put a ball joint right there.
08:15But it doesn't look like he's actually got a ball joint in his neck.
08:18If he does, it's really tight in this figure.
08:21Upper torso is on a ball joint.
08:22The lower abdomen, as you probably have already noticed, as I move one, it moves the other.
08:26So this also does have a ball joint.
08:28You can take the arms and rotate them all the way around.
08:30You can hinge them out comfortably.
08:33Not so comfortably, maybe on this side, but a lot more comfortable on this side.
08:36Add a T-pose or that 90-degree angle bend.
08:39Has a swivel in his bicep, a double hinge on the elbow.
08:43And whatever hands you want to use for this Superman, do rotate all the way around.
08:46And they hinge back and forth slightly.
08:48Moving further down from that, the legs do split out.
08:51The trunks being soft like this allows the legs to do a splits like this.
08:55And you can do a pretty good splits, too.
08:58Those legs, in fact, go forward.
08:59You can also move them back as well.
09:01There's a swivel at the top of the thigh.
09:02Right there.
09:03Right there.
09:04Double hinge on the knee.
09:05No articulation for the boots.
09:07The boot looks like, even though it has been a different color, obviously, it looks like
09:11it's one sculpting with the calf.
09:12So they've gone in there and probably just have painted this in red.
09:15And, of course, you've got your ankle pivot back and forth.
09:18Same.
09:18You've still got the ankle rocker.
09:20And, yeah, Superman does also have toe articulation as well.
09:23Now, we're going to be looking at Superman figures through McFarlane Toys and throughout
09:26this week.
09:27We started things more with kind of the basic Superman.
09:30Basic in the sense that, you know, you get the bare bones release of Corn Sweat.
09:35Corn Sweat's Superman.
09:37Not much really in the way of accessories.
09:38Not really much in the way of anything other than, really, when you think of it, just a
09:41display stand and a trading card.
09:44That's all you're really going to be getting other than a few flight hands.
09:47Someone maybe, again, I don't know if, again, I would say, like, pass on this guy altogether
09:51because, of course, the theatrical version, the deluxe version of Superman, is going to
09:55come and clue with Crypto.
09:56The same flight hands three swappable faceplates, including, of course, the one that he also
10:01has on his head.
10:01So, technically, he does have four.
10:03And he also has a fabric cape.
10:05I still don't think the fabric cape attaches really as well as this one.
10:08The trade-off, though, is, again, you have the plastic cape, you have the fabric cape.
10:11I like the fabric a little bit more.
10:13I don't like the way it's attached.
10:14You'll see what I mean.
10:15You'll see what I mean when we look at that figure in the upcoming review.
10:18One thing I am happy about is that McFarlane Toys still had the DC Multiverse license at
10:23the time that the Superman film was going to be coming out, originally called, I think,
10:26Superman Legacy.
10:27Superman, though, I think now having a figure like this, it could be displayed on the shelf
10:31with the Christopher Reeve, one that we've got before.
10:33And, of course, it can go with Cavill's.
10:34Sizing, again, isn't going to be quite right, though.
10:37I mean, Corrin sweats Superman.
10:39Stand 6'4".
10:40I mean, Cavill's was only at 6'1".
10:42Christopher Reeve a little tad taller than that.
10:44So, the sizing isn't going to really work.
10:46Likelihood, though, you're probably not going to be picking up any of the new Superman film
10:50movie figures with the idea of having them displayed with the other previous Supermans.
10:54Maybe you are.
10:54Maybe you're a guy that only, or a girl, for that matter, is only going to be going out
10:58of your way to collect Supermans.
10:59You just really want to have a Superman shelf with all the movie Supermans.
11:02Then, of course, you would notice the size differences between those.
11:05Being that we have so many figures coming out, the robots, Lex Luthor, tons of characters
11:09that we're getting from the new Superman film from McFarlane Toys, likely, probably people
11:13are going to be buying all of those and having them displayed together.
11:16Things I do like about this figure, first of all, even though the colors maybe aren't
11:20quite jiving with the movie colors, again, we don't have the movie out yet.
11:23I think, though, by toning down the paint, whether it was intended that way or not, I
11:28think a lot of it probably had just to do with the budget, too.
11:30I mean, to go in there and paint all those parts, that's additional charging.
11:34Leaving it just really to the plastic alone kind of makes the suit look a little bit more
11:39subtler.
11:40I think in the movie, from what at least we've seen, all that panel line is more of
11:44a metallic blue, so it stands out a whole lot more.
11:47Whether you choose to go with this one, this, again, with the plastic cape, or you'd rather
11:51maybe hold off and get the theatrical version that's going to have the fabric cape, which,
11:55again, we will be looking at this review in an upcoming review.
11:58We're also going to be looking at Lex Luthor with the baby kaiju, and we're going to be
12:01looking at the robot as well.
12:03So this is going to be a...
12:04Oh, and Metamorphose.
12:04So there's going to be a ton of brand new Superman movie figures coming your way this week.
12:08Making sure you guys are going to be coming back for those.
12:10In the meantime, though, what do you guys think of David Koren's Sweat's Superman suits?
12:15I certainly hope I haven't butchered his name at all throughout this review.
12:19Do you like the look of the suit?
12:20Do you feel like it's a little too baggy?
12:22Do you like the look of Cavill's Superman suit a little bit more?
12:25Let me know what you think is the better movie suit down below.
12:27Now, again, I know it's maybe too early to say that.
12:30Some could maybe really make the valid argument.
12:33Wait.
12:33Let the movie come out first before you have an opinion.
12:36I think anybody's entitled to have an opinion, even if the movie hasn't come out yet.
12:40Based at least from what we've saw, do you like this look of the Superman suit or do you
12:44like Cavill's suit a little bit more?
12:46Some people are just screaming in the background, I like Christopher Reeve.
12:48Okay, there's Christopher Reeve as well.
12:50Nothing beats the classic.
12:51If you guys did enjoy this video, do it a solid throw and throw it a like.
12:54You guys want to stick around for more?
12:55So I hope so.
12:57Hit that subscribe, turn on that bell, and of course, come back.
12:59Well, of course, we are wrapping up things right now for David the Superman.
13:03There's going to be a lot more Superman reviews for the rest of this week.
13:05As always, thanks for watching.
13:07See you guys next time.
