Medicom Superman Returns Figures

[Matt Murdock]

Has anyone purchased either of them yet?

I'm thinking of getting them, but I'd like to know how they look.

I bought their Superman figure and was so disappointed I didn't even consider buying the Clark figure, preferring the HotToys Clark instead. They used one of their smaller bodies so it doesn't fit that well with other 12" figures you may have. It also has cartoon proportions with shoulders far too wide and waist far too small. The suit is lacking in detail. You'd be much better to find the HotToys figures if you can. Their Superman is infinitely superior and from the pictures I've seen of the Medicom Clark, the HotToys figure also beats it hands down.

I personally prefer Hot Toys versions, but the HT Superman might be abit hard to hunt down. You get an extra trenchcoat, inner costume and head with Hot Toys and can pull off a custom Smallville Clark Kent if you want to.
