If you have the Hush Batman, some dude on YT showed the swap. You have to swap the neck too because of the skin tone difference, but it looks pretty cool to have smiley Bruce on Clarkie's ripped bod.
fr like its my ideal superman design its just so perfect to me i wish we really got a friendly smile head like no smirk no smug all we want is a smiling happy symbol of hope face
I can’t wait for mine to arrive next month, this is exactly everything I had ever wanted in what I consider to be my definitive 6 inch Superman figure for my DC-Justice League display
Just incase this helps anyone: It seems pretty common amongst these (from articulation segments on reviews anyway) that the should joint is a little frozen out of the box. The socket for the shoulder connects to a ball joint in the torso which, if you get out, you can sand it down a little and give him more of a butterfly joint. You can see the intended effect more on Batman who has a ton more shoulder range since the joint has a better socket in the torso there. The only reason I realised is because my Carnage and black Hush Batman both had a shoulder joint frozen in a similar method, and it confused me that Supes' range was so little despite using the same mechanism.
I'm just super happy haha that they brought back the yellow symbol on the back of the cape I think they originally took it off during the animated episodes because it took too much work to draw it but I always missed it
Due to the pandemic I had to sell a few figures which wasn't a very good feeling...luckily I am doing much better and I just ordered this and the hush Batman figure.
That 1:25 bear joke is one of the many reasons I love watching Robo and the Fwoosh. Such genuine, light hearted, and hilarious moments that come out of the blue.
I waited anxiously for your review to confirm what everybody was saying but I got the figure two weeks ago. And it is PERFECT. I've been longing for a perfect Superman and it sure checks all the boxes and sweet spots. He looks good with the Mafex Batman. He looks good with the Figuarts Hulk. He looks good with the Figurise Goku (closer in size). He's the real deal and your review just highlighted it all. That's 3/3 perfect figures for Mafex. Spider-man, Batman and Superman are pretty much the ultimate comic figures of those 3. 60-70€ isn't that expensive for definitive figures of the best and most popular heroes of pop culture. I am now praying for a comiv Wonder Woman or a comic Captain America.
Nice review. This figure is good 👍. The cape is just right as the yellow symbol on the back reminds me of the George Reaves, TV series Superman. Thanks again for sharing your treasure.
This review gets me excited for their AzBats! And also the possibility that they might do the 4 "Reign of the Supermen" Supermans... Superboy, Steel, Eradicator and CYBORG SUPES!
I recommend you to pop off his torso and look for imperfections inside the plastic. Try to shave them to avoid scratching your figure. Mine came with stuff inside and it has a nasty scratch on his abs now :( I think the same happened to D-Amazing on his review. Oh, also mine didn't pass the arm test lol, but it only happens if you rotate the bicep too much.
By the time there were five reviews on RUclips it was sold out everywhere, and I decided to wait to see if there’d be some common QC issues before I bought it. I’m so mad I missed out on this. I really hope they restock but I doubt it.
Probably won't get restocked, but Mafex is pretty good about reissues. They even fix QC issues or improve them with 1.5 or 2.0 versions. They just reissued a bunch of figures that came out years ago. I am sure this will get reissued again. Also, with how well this sold, I am 99.9% sure they will drop a variant up for pre-order this year. They wasted no time giving us a black/gray Hush Batman.
Love mine due to the design, despite the qc issues. Sorry yours came with a badly painted S, visible glue and mark on the 1st head. I guess I got lucky.
Would love a repaint with a smiling head. I need a happy, confident Superman in my display; Batman already occupies the "brooding" slot. I hope it'll come soon because the hips in my DCUC Superman has not aged well.
Does anyone know what color red is used on the figure. I just got the re-issue and he’s got a paint chip on the trunks. Looking for a good match to fix it.
The left arm of mine would definitely fail the intro test. And the small head compared to Batman kinda irks me but all in all I am happy with it especially since I got it at half price.
Noticed the yellow "S" shield is missing the triangle at the upper part forming the serif and the lower part forming the reverse apex. Mafex should have included a fine tipped Sharpie to remedy that. Lol!
Oh Robo, you can't do me like that with the MAFEX arm test at the beginning, I literally spent yesterday being driven mad by their Carnage figure due to the loose left arm, which sucks since the rest is so good on that figure. Also at 11:19, damn that's a good looking figure, looks ripped straight out of Jim lee's art.
My Carnage has the arm issue too, BUT, my figure came with TWO left arms 😂 For some reason one of the arms doesn't has this problem and thankfully AmiAmi sent me a right arm as I requested. Now my only problem with that figure is that my right butterfly joint is completely stuck, maybe glued :(
@@nhyar Yeah it's not a complete deal breaker, plus it can still hold a pose and it doesn't just fall off when on display, but at the same time I feel like I'm on a balance beam whenever I pose that figure, one wrong move and it all goes to hell, so it kind of sours the experience. Still though at least it looks incredible.
@@tomtudorweaver1078 Definitely. That Carnage figure is one of the best, if not THE best ever released. Sadly, the QC issues stop ne from saying it's perfect. I love and hate that figure 😂
I wish the QC issues weren't so common with Mafex, I can't justify spending that much on a pre-order without knowing if I'm going to get something that'll just fall apart.
Ocht the legs are still thin and don't quite fully straighten. Was hoping they'd have fixed that from Batman. Still looks great, just frustrating that it isn't perfect when it's so close
Great video. I love this figure and thank you for doing such a great job going over this MAFEX figure. Mine had some paint rub off the foot where the toe joint is located leaving a small blue area. Does anyone know how I could fix that?
Great looking figure, especially the colours. I just wish it came with another head that had a facial expression more along the lines of a traditional Superman. If not smiling, then at least a neutral expression. When I think of a traditional Superman, I don't think scowling or gritted teeth.
Cool looking figure! I’m not sure how I feel about all these companies using soft rubber parts like crotches. They look great but I’m not so sure about the longevity of these pieces
Dude, are you sure you've got a real one? I've had this figure since the first release and yours looks very different. The yellow is deeper, and you have lots of paint issues. Mine looks super crispy with no paint overlapping. And your green vines look like they're made with a cheaper, shinier plastic. I'm not sure if they made changes with the re-release, but I'm sorry to say that yours looks off. Did you get it from an official retailer?
Dude, look at the date of the video, it's right after the original release date of the official product. I got it from Amiami. MAFEX is just inconsistent figure to figure.
@@TheFwoosh Sorry dude, it just popped up on my feed. As I'm subscribed to your channel, I assumed it was recent🤦🏼. Inconsistent is the perfect word. Mine actually has glue marks below the chest, and I've exchanged recent Mafex figs after receiving faulty ones. Shame because they look great. If you're ever stuck getting a figure from a Japanese company, let me know. I live in Tokyo, so they're often easier for me to get👍🏻
Oh, I was about to say, getting exchanges in the States is way harder, haha. I only go that route if I have something completely broken, not worth the hassle when it's a paint blemish or two.
@@TheFwoosh For me, it depends of there's still stock. I have an issue now with a Sentinel Peter B Parker. It arrived with duplicate parts (should have two different sized trunks), but I can't exchange as there's no more stock. Sentinel refuse to deal with defects, and their manufacturer/distributor have disabled their phone number and inquiry form due to the pandemic. I really want the figure, so I'm might have to just keep it. Anyway, thanks for the great reviews. You're always my go to guy when I'm considering figures.
Robo, I was hoping you could give me some direction. I have been looking forward to this figure more than anything else since it was announced. Then life happened and i missed the boat to pre-order. Now they're gone everywhere. I have never purchased a mafex figure, so I was wondering, does that company restock after the initial pre-orders? Anytime soon after the pre-orders went out? Just wondering what I should do at this point since I'm not familiar at all with theyre figures. Where should I be checking? Thank you for any help at all!
Gone man. Gone everywhere. Nah just kidding. Just keep looking through online retailers and if they truly are gone, you may be able to get someone else’s for a way higher price.
Man, why do Mafex keep having QC issues? For a $100 figure I expect them to be solid to pose and play with, not having to be careful to try not breaking it while playing with it.
I do wish he came with a friendlier face option, but otherwise he's perfect.
Yup, but then Hush was angsty. Cheery head would have been icing.
If you have the Hush Batman, some dude on YT showed the swap. You have to swap the neck too because of the skin tone difference, but it looks pretty cool to have smiley Bruce on Clarkie's ripped bod.
Never know what will pop up on the custom market :)
@@TheFwoosh Probably tried a Jim Lee smiling face for the figure, and thought "nnnahhhh"

"Mafex Superman Hush Batman" yes
No it's "Mafex Batman hush superman"
@@coolcatzach6784 I know, but read the title of the video
@@firatakyl6901 it says "Superman Hush DC comics Batman"
My definitive new Superman figure, Mafex 3 for 3 now making my favourite figures of Spider-man, Batman and Superman.
I agree I think this Superman is the difnative Comic book Superman!
I agree. Hasbro's newish retro Spidey is nice, but that MAFEX Spidey is superb.
Looking at your username, I can only dream... Imagine if they made a KINGDOM COME line...
I love mafex, but those are 80-100$ figs and some qc issues are unacceptable for me any more. Untill they sort thier shit out im out of pre orders.

The bootleg mafex superman hush should be called "Superman Shhh"... 🤫😁

Cool entrance, Supes passed the test.
I'm just super happy haha that they brought back the yellow symbol on the back of the cape I think they originally took it off during the animated episodes because it took too much work to draw it but I always missed it

The review/reviewer that I've been waiting for.👌🏻
Does the default head on yours have a mark on his cheek or is that intentional?
Best Superman figure atm and I'm definitely getting his Black suit variant. Only way it could be better is a smiling head.
Great figure and review! Looking forward to getting mine.
That figure looks dope! Great review!
Awesome review! Just ordered this figure and cant wait to get him
Really a cool figure i have 13 Years, and have this figure you are the best , AND the versión black Superman
This and the black Hush Batman are my grail rn
Great review this is the best 1/12 superman. Try yriel yellow mixed with white scar citadel paints takes some mixing but it worked for me 👍
Got mine yesterday, just in time for the Superman & Lois premiere. I love this figure, it’s terrific.
I can't wait for Mafex Comic accurate figure THE FLASH!!! Best seller for sure!!!
I love that they did the hush version. Imo its the classic look. I'd still like some chains or something instead as an accessory though.
Thanks for the review.✌🏾🔥
Mr Robo, solid review man.
Great review, Fwoosh!! I'll take an entire case. ❤️💯❤️
I love that intro
I recommend you to pop off his torso and look for imperfections inside the plastic. Try to shave them to avoid scratching your figure. Mine came with stuff inside and it has a nasty scratch on his abs now :(

I have one on preorder. I can't wait till you get the recently announced Marvel Legends Quasar
Love mine due to the design, despite the qc issues. Sorry yours came with a badly painted S, visible glue and mark on the 1st head. I guess I got lucky.
When does it come out on bigbadtoystore I pre ordered it in December
Should have better quality control for the price mafex charges.
Would love a repaint with a smiling head. I need a happy, confident Superman in my display; Batman already occupies the "brooding" slot. I hope it'll come soon because the hips in my DCUC Superman has not aged well.
I hear if you turn the neck peg backwards (it is angled), you can get him to look straight up when flying.
That's exactly what I did, and left it there. Still better forward than front.
@@TheFwoosh Damn. Too bad :(
Got mine 2 weeks ago and it’s my most favorite Superman figure ever! My only gripe is that the left side of the cape is an inch longer than the right.
I noticed the sides of the cape drape further than the middle but figured there was a reason.
Fwoosh is my shit. Much luv, Robo and other fella. 🖖🖖🖖
Does anyone know what color red is used on the figure. I just got the re-issue and he’s got a paint chip on the trunks. Looking for a good match to fix it.
Now we need a definitive true 1/12 scale Doomsday.
Nice shirt...
Love your reviews, Robo.
Can you make Mafex Miles and Petes.B soon!!? 🙏 I've been waiting for 'em forever
This might get me to start Collecting DC figures
The left arm of mine would definitely fail the intro test. And the small head compared to Batman kinda irks me but all in all I am happy with it especially since I got it at half price.
Hey Robo He's sold out everywhere do you think that they will come out with more of them?
They don't reissue a lot unless it's super popular, but seeing "Hush Ver" on the front makes me think they will make different versions.
@@TheFwoosh I missed out on it and I was hoping that they would reissue it.
@@TheFwoosh thanks for answering Robo.👍☺️
Test the paint on the belt under the cape to see how it holds.
Wow the NECA toys ones look awesome
Is there a way to put the ads at the end or beginning
Nice shirt, robo
I wish I'd preordered this.
Wish I preordered more than 1 for the prices I see him going for LOL
You said you didn't see like the stands I'm curious about which stands you prefer
Mezco makes them tough, and Figuarts seems a bit more fluid.
what is the green things for again???
Noticed the yellow "S" shield is missing the triangle at the upper part forming the serif and the lower part forming the reverse apex. Mafex should have included a fine tipped Sharpie to remedy that. Lol!
I want to sculpt a smiling face and a frost breath blowing face for this to make the definitive Superman
I really want to love this figure but the headsculpt really isn't working for me.
On the cape it’s missing a little part of the Superman symbol

I am looking to buy one on Amazon. But I can’t tell if it is the newer version or the original version? Does anyone know?
Missing the two "triangles" in the S on the cape
Awesome review im pretty sure he passed the test lol
Never seen one of these with so many issues, very strange! Where did it come from?
Mafex/Medicom has a history of horrible QC issues with most of the figures that they release.
I'm still waiting for my mafex far from home advanced suit spiderman to come out let alone get to my hous3
I expect more for spending 80 bucks on a figure. Better QC is needed.
I agree 100%
Well now you can’t get it at all it goes for 200$
I wish the QC issues weren't so common with Mafex, I can't justify spending that much on a pre-order without knowing if I'm going to get something that'll just fall apart.
Ocht the legs are still thin and don't quite fully straighten. Was hoping they'd have fixed that from Batman.
Still looks great, just frustrating that it isn't perfect when it's so close
I hope pre orders go up again for this Superman, I refuse to pay almost 300 bucks for this figure
Turn the ball peg around on the neck and you’ll get more head articulation
amazing figure, only got a few mafex, & theyre great, but not for a hundred bucks. if drops to $65 like Cyclops or Wolverine Id buy it.
Great video. I love this figure and thank you for doing such a great job going over this MAFEX figure. Mine had some paint rub off the foot where the toe joint is located leaving a small blue area. Does anyone know how I could fix that?

it should say toyhub instead
Great looking figure, especially the colours. I just wish it came with another head that had a facial expression more along the lines of a traditional Superman. If not smiling, then at least a neutral expression. When I think of a traditional Superman, I don't think scowling or gritted teeth.
Hey Robo Is this Superman a must buy?
For me it was, it's the exact scale and look I wanted, but some people prefer different versions. Oh, hey Owen!
@@TheFwoosh how are Robo and I really like this too bad it’s sold out everywhere
