Such a tough choice. It’s a tie for me. I like them both for different reasons. All your points are solid. I didn’t think about not being able to use a wire stand with the soft goods. A draw is the way🙂
Slightly biased because I have the Mezco, but I prefer it more than the Mafex, it just looks friendlier and is what comes to mind when I think Superman
Does the mezco figure look strange next to other Mafex figures or does he still fit in well? I want the mezco one but I’m worried he won’t fit in with my other Mafex
Sirdork, your video was the one that me decide to go for this figure. Just bought it yesterday, I'm hoping to get it before the 30th. Great analysis and comparison, dude. Thanks!
This is absolutely amazing figure! I thought it was going to be a doll (not a fan figure with soft material, except for the capes) but after getting it in my hand... just wow, perfect! Probably the best Superman figure after the Mafex one.
The new Popmart Kingdom Come Superman is the best. The cloth goods on it is so much better than the Mezco soft goods, no stiching seen on it. I have both. If you want to get it, look for the exclusive version with the alternate head. Base version only has one head. But if you want to save $30, then get the base version for $70.
Hi Mr Jared. I 'm A Superman Fan Too. I also Have A Few Superman Figures Myself. I Don't Have Any New Ones, Just Recent Ones. I've Done Some Toy Photos Also.
Just bought the Mezco Superman today! Now my Mezco Batman will no longer be alone Also, I 100% agree on the whole 'Superman Smiling Headsculpt' thing. It’s Superman, you gotta have him smilin! He’s a wholesome Boy Scout! That’s part of the charm!
The Mafex is still my favourite but the accessories on the Mezco is phenomenal. But I know you complain that the Hush Superman doesn’t have a smiling face… look at the Hush comics, he didn’t smile in it. There wouldn’t be a smiling head sculpt because he never smiled in that storyline.
My biggest gripes with this fig are the legs and the height. Mine and others had uneven legs, one longer than the other. In terms of height, it's a tad bit shorter than most mezcos. I'm lucky I had some experience modding so I was able to adjust those parts. Other than that, this is the definitive Supes
I guess it's a matter of taste but ii grew up with Mego & GiJoe cloth figures so for ME PERSONALLY I really appreciate cloth figures ESPECIALLY in my preferred 1/12 scale figures...BuuuuT, I get how some don't like it bc of the hassle w/keeping clean, misshapeness, fading, fraying etc.
I think Mezco is better (except wire in cape) thing is its much harder to pose, its also very stubborn as new for small details. To avoid bubbles under suit in neck area U must bend wire under suit to back side, if it goes with direction of cape itself is less visible as cape lies on it. Second thing is superbutt. To get sup shape needs ass up, chest up, buterflies to the back, its important to watch anatomy with photos, the body language, most of figures are made to keep some expressions, intentions, here we have to take them out, check for hip joints, supes should put legs closer to each other, becomes optical longer. Before we take the spirit out of them they easy get mego vibe. But overall nice job with this movie. Especially montage, nice collection too.
As Dope as that MaFex Superman (Hush) is, I'm going to have to put it at 3rd place for me. No. 1 would be the Mezco Superman (Man Of Steel), followed by the Amazing Yamaguci Revoltech Superman (New 52) at No. 2. And of course, 3rd place would be the MaFex Supes. Excellent video, by the way.
I like the Mezco figure more, because I feel it does a batter job at capturing how I personally see superman. Such as him having a less chiseled jawline, less buff body, and a homemade look to his suit. It's just what I see more in superman.
What do you think about the BLACK around the S? That's my only real problem. I'd buy it, if not for that. I HATE when I see black around the S, and diamond. It should be just yellow, and red.
My favourite Superman 1/12 is the one from Mafex, the Dark Knight Returns one, that is one magnificent Superman to me, and they nailed it for making Frank Miller’s art look good irl 😂😂
This 2 are great figures but looking for the photographer eyes and looking for realistic, the one with the soft goods suits ( think is the Mezco) looks more realistic with out the joints. That’s, for me, is a + 😉
I have the Mafex. Absolutely love it. And I just got the Mezco. Both are great. Mafex is just better all around. As a figure brand. Better posing. Not as fragile. More affordable. Relatively. And I think the proportions look better. I think Mezco has been hyped up too much. Most of the figures look good on the surface, but there's really not much you can do with them. Not worth the price overall.
The yellow on the mafex one frustrates me too much. I canceled my order on this one when it came out. I like the mezco one better. My one complaint with that one is howthe cape is bunched up in the suit.
Personally, the way I see the Mesko is a better Superman action figure it represents the character in every way he smiles. He’s angry. He has laser, vision and cool accessories. They are specific to him. On the other hand would be the best generic. Superman is the best one to use for any display, and the one that can combine with most lines good with legends, DCC, DC icons he’s more versatile.
For my money the Mafex Hush Superman is much better than the Mezco. I strongly dislike the soft goods costume, except for the cape. It just looks bulky and weird at that scale. The Mezco's accessories are super cool, and I like that there's a smiling head, but the Mafex looks more comic accurate (mainly because it's directly modeled after Jim Lee's artwork from Batman: Hush). Granted, that's just my personal opinion, and I certainly don't begrudge anyone that prefers the Mezco.
Personally I think NECA's Superman from the 2-pack is the best Superman figure in the 1/12th scale to-date (even though it's a more like 7 inches). I feel like Mezco is too chunky/ugly and cloth goods at that scale aren't the best, also too many accessories that I just don't need. Not a fan of the thick black outlining on the front logo either. I loved MAFEX Hush Supes, but the lack of a "normal" head sculpt, plus the small-ish size and the looseness of my figure has bumped it down a notch for me.
@@sirdork730 I also wanted to ask. How does the Mezco figure look next to other non cloth goods figures? For example one of my favorite figures is my Mafex homelander. Does mezco superman look funny next to other figures who aren’t mezco? I hope this wasn’t too confusing lol.
yea i hate when people get free shit, and then whine for added function to the line they dont even collect personally. i mean the second mezco adds toe articulation to their figures and shit on all the looks of their pervious figures because of it, is the time i stop collecting them.
The hush one is amazing but gawt damn the accessories make the Mezco one the definitive Superman if you don’t care about any of that and store accessories away mafex is the go to but the led laser eyes , metal box and amazing accessories are hard to beat if you like taking pics the Mezco is a dream fig
mafex quality sucks really bad great looking figures but the quality is trash and over priced i got so mad because few months ago i got a man of steel black suit figure and it was already broken smh
No, I I think the best person to live your life by is Jesus Christ but that’s just my opinion.❤ amazing figure, and amazing photography. God bless.❤️🤟 4:09
I preferred how the Mezco pic came out, it’s so natural looking with the fabrics, and the smile just helps a lot more lol
I think in the photo you took the mezco one look sweeter and the smiling head just adds to the Superman of it all but for articulation the Mafex wins
For articulation the amazing Yamaguchi easily wins
@@phantomgauntlet yea I agree I just meant from the two pictures
Even with the little that was done with the mezco's cape, it still looked much better. I bought it a few months ago, and its the best thing i own.
Man, your photography is on another level!!!
Such a tough choice. It’s a tie for me. I like them both for different reasons. All your points are solid. I didn’t think about not being able to use a wire stand with the soft goods. A draw is the way🙂
its a tie for me too
Definitely mezco and soft goods sir!! I do own both versions and many others and soft goods always looks better!! Great review sir ✌🏻👍🏻👌🏻🫡
Hey I appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching!
Slightly biased because I have the Mezco, but I prefer it more than the Mafex, it just looks friendlier and is what comes to mind when I think Superman
Mezco One12 Man of Steel and Medicom mafex Hush Superman are my Favorite Superman figures of all time
Does the mezco figure look strange next to other Mafex figures or does he still fit in well? I want the mezco one but I’m worried he won’t fit in with my other Mafex
Sirdork, your video was the one that me decide to go for this figure. Just bought it yesterday, I'm hoping to get it before the 30th. Great analysis and comparison, dude. Thanks!
Woah that is awesome! So glad the video was helpful! I hope you love the figure!
Exactly the video I was looking for :) Thanks for making this one
It's still Hush version for me. Soft goods on this scale looks funky.
I really like the look and all the stuff the mezco comes with, I may have to pick that and the recovery suit ones up at some point
This is absolutely amazing figure! I thought it was going to be a doll (not a fan figure with soft material, except for the capes) but after getting it in my hand... just wow, perfect! Probably the best Superman figure after the Mafex one.
So glad you think so! I love this figure!
I’ve meet Jared a few weeks ago at a toy convention, and I’ve never seen a video on that before. (next year I hope)
Phenomenal video dude. You and I share a deep love for the man of steel 👊😁
You are the man Sully! So glad we agree on that! 🇺🇸
Wow Tons accessories and head sculpt Man U sold me I NEED one now 😩
The new Popmart Kingdom Come Superman is the best. The cloth goods on it is so much better than the Mezco soft goods, no stiching seen on it. I have both. If you want to get it, look for the exclusive version with the alternate head. Base version only has one head. But if you want to save $30, then get the base version for $70.
Figures with soft goods look real nice but those without are better to play with.
I like the hush version and I was looking for the best superman action fig...thank you for this...
Thanks for watching!!
I know I'm 3 months late to this party but, does the Mezco head fit on the Mafex?
Hi Mr Jared. I 'm A Superman Fan Too. I also Have A Few Superman Figures Myself. I Don't Have Any New Ones, Just Recent Ones. I've Done Some Toy Photos Also.
Just bought the Mezco Superman today!
Now my Mezco Batman will no longer be alone
Also, I 100% agree on the whole 'Superman Smiling Headsculpt' thing. It’s Superman, you gotta have him smilin!
He’s a wholesome Boy Scout! That’s part of the charm!
That’s awesome! Glad you agree! Thanks for checking it out 🙏
Does the mezco superman fit with other non mezco figures?
@@Keolas_multiverse yeah
@@jacobw618 thank you
wow that looks amazing, coolest figure ever for sure. I got to get me one.
Thanks a ton Snap!!!

Yes that make’s perfect sense!! +1 for accuracy, -1 for being the best Superman figure in my opinion 😅
Actually he did smile in “man for tomorrow” which is essentially the same Superman
@@fadidabban yes but the figure is from Batman Hush, not Superman Man of Tomorrow.
In a word mate, yes 👍🏼🤝
My biggest gripes with this fig are the legs and the height. Mine and others had uneven legs, one longer than the other. In terms of height, it's a tad bit shorter than most mezcos. I'm lucky I had some experience modding so I was able to adjust those parts. Other than that, this is the definitive Supes
Good video. I like the comparison. I really liked, the mafex hush superman, until I took this photo...

Your photos are amazing! Your very talented mate 👍🔥
The figure is awesome, but my favorite part is hearing you laugh with excitement 🤘
Ah thanks for the love man!

What a beautiful figure!
Well, in the composition that you put, I think that the Mezco wins...! Feel more natural with the textile suit and the smiling face. 😃
As Dope as that MaFex Superman (Hush) is, I'm going to have to put it at 3rd place for me.
No. 1 would be the Mezco Superman (Man Of Steel), followed by the Amazing Yamaguci Revoltech Superman (New 52) at No. 2. And of course, 3rd place would be the MaFex Supes.
Excellent video, by the way.
Interesting! The Yamaguchi is definitely an awesome figure, cool to see it as your #1. Thanks for watching!
@sirdork730 Actually, the Mezco is number 1 for me, followed by the Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech at number 2.
Thank you. 😊
Both of them look great. Have you ever checked the Beast Kingdom Superman?
I like the Mezco figure more, because I feel it does a batter job at capturing how I personally see superman. Such as him having a less chiseled jawline, less buff body, and a homemade look to his suit. It's just what I see more in superman.
What do you think about the BLACK around the S? That's my only real problem. I'd buy it, if not for that. I HATE when I see black around the S, and diamond. It should be just yellow, and red.
It’s currently 140$ worth every dollar

This 2 are great figures but looking for the photographer eyes and looking for realistic, the one with the soft goods suits ( think is the Mezco) looks more realistic with out the joints. That’s, for me, is a + 😉
The Mezco picture was just way more organic. It wins the photo op in my opinion.
TRY SUPERMAN BLUE
All about the Mezco Superman!
wicked review mate
entertainment earth added this video to the images of the mezco superman
Pretty cool right? 😆 I’m very grateful!

I got this Psertoys Superman, very great version for an ok price. I needed a Superman, Mafex is hard to get and Mezco one is too expensive.
The yellow on the mafex one frustrates me too much. I canceled my order on this one when it came out. I like the mezco one better. My one complaint with that one is howthe cape is bunched up in the suit.
Can you do a full review of the amazing yamaguchi superman. He's pretty underrated.
And the biggest bummer over the Mafex is the S curl in his hair is backwards!!
Do you make your own cape ???
I call it a tie ❤❤
I may be biased I have the Mezco it’s true about the feet articulation Mezco Wins
Hush Superman is top notch
Personally, the way I see the Mesko is a better Superman action figure it represents the character in every way he smiles. He’s angry. He has laser, vision and cool accessories. They are specific to him.
On the other hand would be the best generic. Superman is the best one to use for any display, and the one that can combine with most lines good with legends, DCC, DC icons he’s more versatile.
both are great but I adore the mezco one. He does look a little robot chickeny but it doesn't bother me
Tbh I like the mafex better sculpted wise cause the Mezco look kinda old tbh and does not look like has muscle
For Revoltech Superman Figure
This video is good I was here at the premiere
Mezco!!!!!
For my money the Mafex Hush Superman is much better than the Mezco. I strongly dislike the soft goods costume, except for the cape. It just looks bulky and weird at that scale. The Mezco's accessories are super cool, and I like that there's a smiling head, but the Mafex looks more comic accurate (mainly because it's directly modeled after Jim Lee's artwork from Batman: Hush). Granted, that's just my personal opinion, and I certainly don't begrudge anyone that prefers the Mezco.
All great points! And I can’t disagree with you 🤔 thanks for watching!
Muff toys making one too
Do you have Superman from Injustice 2 I heard he's a great figure
The Mezco.
Personally I think NECA's Superman from the 2-pack is the best Superman figure in the 1/12th scale to-date (even though it's a more like 7 inches).
I feel like Mezco is too chunky/ugly and cloth goods at that scale aren't the best, also too many accessories that I just don't need. Not a fan of the thick black outlining on the front logo either.
I loved MAFEX Hush Supes, but the lack of a "normal" head sculpt, plus the small-ish size and the looseness of my figure has bumped it down a notch for me.
You forgot the dark night returns super man to compare to
I like both of the figures but personally I like the new one just because of how much extra stuff it has which just makes it that much better
Mezco or Mafex I need Help!!!
It’s a tough decision!!!! Hopefully this video helped! 🙇♂️
@@sirdork730 thank you for your help your an amazing content creator your an inspiration to us fellow nerds! 🤙🏼

NECA Christopher Reeve Superman
Pls check Kingdom Come Return of the king Superman :)
Bello
yea i hate when people get free shit, and then whine for added function to the line they dont even collect personally. i mean the second mezco adds toe articulation to their figures and shit on all the looks of their pervious figures because of it, is the time i stop collecting them.
yamaguchi's is the best
The mafex looks kinda bad in the photo but idk i guess mezco wins
Both Mezco man of steel and Mezco 1978 beat the shit out of Mafex and all the others out there
The black around the S made me not want to buy it. I mean, WHY put the black around it?
Christopher Reeves is the best Superman
Mezco Superman figure is definitely better. Come on
The soft goods just make him look chunky. Not a good look
Nah, Mafex is still the definitive 1/12 Superman figure and will be for a while.
The hush one is amazing but gawt damn the accessories make the Mezco one the definitive Superman if you don’t care about any of that and store accessories away mafex is the go to but the led laser eyes , metal box and amazing accessories are hard to beat if you like taking pics the Mezco is a dream fig
Nah Mezco has soft goods which makes it more realistic and feels like ur holding superman
This one kicks it’s ass, if only it were plastic, I don’t really like cloth, making my figures look like barbie dolls
Agreed but they need to do a deluxe version with more accessories and a happy face sculpt
Mafex hush with mezco accessories would be peak, I would like cloth but idk but cloth on the mezco supermen doesn’t look super good to me
Mezco is better than mafex it has a lot of stuff and soft good and mafex is just not as good without soft goods
mafex quality sucks really bad great looking figures but the quality is trash and over priced i got so mad because few months ago i got a man of steel black suit figure and it was already broken smh
You're kidding right The cape coming out looks disgusting
No, I I think the best person to live your life by is Jesus Christ but that’s just my opinion.❤ amazing figure, and amazing photography. God bless.❤️🤟 4:09
