Awesome review Brad!!! Really appreciate all the comparisons and there's some gorgeous shots of the figure. I REALLY like the color shades on this figure, think they look really vivid and sharp. And as you said, reeeaaally clean!
LOL... I am LOVING the secondary head rant. I 'ughed' myself when I saw it before you even said anything. For God's sake, he actually smiled in JL!! :D
I once had some of the S.H. Figuarts Power Rangers, and I ended up deciding that they were too small for my collection preferences. I see that basically still holds true, here. Great review, tho!
@@cjchuaofficial5595 Purely subjective reasons. I prefer the build and accessories on the MAFEX one. I like the portraits also and the fact we get 3 instead of 2. It scales well with the other DC figures from MAFEX I have etc. Also MAFEX released the entire league. S.H. Figuarts abandoned Cyborg and Aquaman. I would rather support companies that dont do that to fans. Also I should add ALL of the MAFEX DC figures are general releases unlike this Bandai Superman which was a web exclusive. I also dont support that.
What a fantastic review! I agree, would it kill somebody to give us a smiling Henry Cavill? And whoa, that second head, what's *that* about? O_O Thanks for doing the comparison near the end there: I'm trying to find my mom a figure with the best likeness but so far nothing's felt quite right. May have to just keep holding out for another version down the line (with a smiling head, pleeeease). ;)
Some of the sculpts look OK but nobody has quite nailed it with the painted features. I once saw a repainted DC Films Cavill head that looked fantastic, but that’s in the hands of an awesome artist.
Hey Brad, awesome video as usual! Love your presentation and overall video design, looks great, please continue doing such great reviews! As far as the figure goes, it's a NOPE for me, really don't prefer either SHF or Mafex figures 😔 So will stick to DC and hold on to the hope that NECA may release its Alien 2 pack Superman next year? Cheers!
I bought this action figure last week it retailed for $65 they're more expensive here up in Massachusetts I haven't taken out of the package yet it will be soon
I wish Mafex of SHF would do a Man of Steel figure line or a Justice League Superman 2.0 and REALLY get it right. This is better than the Mafex one but not good enough to justify a purchase. I’m holding out. Some day, one of them will make a good Henry Cavill Superman fig Maybe if they finally do a Man of Steel 2 well finally get the Superman suit & figure that we deserve
Neck looks too long which is presumably due to too long of a neck to body peg. SHFA seems to have a problem with peg size on some of its fig.'s (a/k/a Batfleck Batman's mid section peg) which is annoying & results in a disappointing appearance. Cape seems a bit too long & body proportions could have a bit more bulk for a Superman IMO. While I prefer the skin tone & suit color on this one if I was ordering a Superman, I'd go with the latest Mafex version as all around it looks better IMO. Actually the Mattel version holds its own in the comparables part of your video & likely is the cheapest. Thanks for the review.
Which Cavil Superman is best, all factors included. I want to get a good Superman that can look kinda goo with my marvel legend movie figures (yes I know they’re not the same universe😑)
Sigh. Seen your sh and your maxfex reviews probably a good 6 Times and still can’t decide. Stuff I like about one and stuff I like about the other. I think I’m leaning toward figuarts but mostly because of price.
change023 I’m a big fan of not choosing and just getting both. They both have stuff to offer and they’re both pretty sweet. If I just had to choose I would choose the Mafex. It’s waaay better in-hand in my opinion. The upward quality jump is evident between the Figuarts and the Mafex. If it’s just price that’s keeping you from getting the Mafex but it’s the one you really want then I’d just pay the extra few bills for it and be completely satisfied. It’s a rule I try and live by. Never just “settle” for something when what you really want is within your grasp. The final option is order both from Amazon decide which one you want and then send the other back for a refund. Sounds like a dirty practice but that’s exactly how business used to be done in the days of catalogue ordering. 🙂👍
Do you know if they'll be doing Cyborg and Aquaman? In any case, interesting. Not fond of the secondary head, either. A smile head would be nice, or a heat vision face where it's more stern, and less "RAWWWWWR"
Hmmm.... I have a limited version of Beast Kingdom's Superman (the black suit one)and it looks miles better than this and IMO way better than the other companies. The neck looks too long and the other head is just really wrong. The Figuarts body doesn't really look buffed up as he looks like IRL and gives me flashbacks of how odd he looked in that iphone footage at the start of the film
3:11 omg that pose
4:07 lololol
funniest video you've done!

Heaaaads..Shoulders..knees...and toes...Damn it Brad! Now that song is stuck in my head! LOL!!
This one looks the best out of the superman's shown.
Nope. *medicom mafex* is.
@@JKevz1 After looking through it with fresh eyes yes the mafex one is the best one.
@@Retr0Dedsec245 yes, it is.
LOL... I am LOVING the secondary head rant. I 'ughed' myself when I saw it before you even said anything. For God's sake, he actually smiled in JL!! :D
I think the likeness is spot on with this figure, compared to other superman figures.
Excelent review. I think is the best version.
Thank you! I think it’s pretty swift too. 👍
Great review Brad. This is the best Henry Cavill Superman action figure I've ever owned and it's a great figure.
Great review! I love your channel my friend, keep up the good work! I like the mafex a bit more but this seems to be pretty solid.
By far the funniest video I have ever seen in my entire life lol
love the new opening!!
Thanks for this review. Now I can get one. :)

Glad I got the MAFEX one instead.
Why is that

Deciding between this one and the mafex. the s.h one I can get for $46.00 and the mafex is between 70 and 80. still not sure on which one.

Brad The DC Universe Geek ah okay. Appreciate the feedback. That helps a lot
I want one but I can't find any 😭any ideas??
Do you know if they'll be doing Cyborg and Aquaman?
In any case, interesting. Not fond of the secondary head, either. A smile head would be nice, or a heat vision face where it's more stern, and less "RAWWWWWR"
oh nevermind, they are coming then
I'm ganna hold off till i have the money

Mezco's looks like he's wearing oversized pajamas.
This is a definite pass for me, I just ordered the Mafex one instead
I don't like the figure at all. But the video is awsome.
long as neck tho
Medicom Mafex is WAY *Better than* shfiguarts. For cheaper price, look for a knock off bootleg, it's quality is trash already anyway.
It's not that bad but I don't like Superman so I'm probably not going to get it
and cyborg and aquaman????????
