REVIEW: MAFEX BATMAN: HUSH - SUPERMAN!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

MAFEX BATMAN: HUSH - SUPERMAN!

It's Wednesday. You know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

MAFEX definitely delivered with what is already called ‘The perfect Superman figure’ by some. This action figure is AMAZING!

The packaging is quite sober, more or less the exact same as the MAFEX Batman Hush from last year, except instead of being Batman on it, it’s Superman (DUH!).

He comes with 4 extra pairs of hands (that’s 8 hands!), an alternative angry-red-eyed headsculpt, and some vines to recreate the scenes when he was being controlled by Poison Ivy in the comic book. The nice MAFEX touch this time, is the extra hand for the Batman figure, with the Kryptonite ring. I always liked when MAFEX does that, and adds an accessory for a previous figure to a new one, so that you can keep playing with them.

Well, what is there to say? The pictures speak for themselves. This is a very, very good Superman figure. It will be very difficult to top that one. MAFEX articulations (luckily, I didn’t have any QC issue), the colors are bright and flashy, with the only complain being the yellow on the chest logo and belt that could have been a bit more…yellow?

“It’s a bird! -It’s a plane! - It’s MAFEX Batman: Hush - Supermaaaan!”

Close up

The cape is also a great improvement from the MAFEX Batman Hush, which had way too much cape, sooo much cape. Superman has just the right amount, so the cape can still look awesome, thanks to the wires, while not being too invading. The ‘S’ shield on it is great too (see, more yellow!).

He comes with the usual MAFEX base, which can be use to make him fly (but not too high).

You, flying to check the latest ToyFarce article

Seriously, it is an amazing figure. It’s one of those figures that looks great, whatever you do with it. Even if you try silly poses, or weird stuff… Believe me, I tried:

“PUT YOUR HANDS UP!”

“Where are my peeps?”

“Up, up and away!”

And now, it’s time for the shameless copy of poses directly from the comic book! (oh, and please, don’t mention the animated movie. It’s still too soon :/ )

“Tickle tickle tickle… - Teeheehee!”

“I’m telling you, you look way better with some green…”

“Now, Superman, could you get rid of the bat for me?”

*FWOOOOSH* (nothing to do with Mr. Robo)

“Something something, not at what i do.”

The original (much love to Jim Lee)

The MAFEX version

“BAM!”

“Truce? - Truce.”

The 2 MAFEX Batman: Hush figures

Batman: Hush - Superman by DC Direct & MAFEX

Batman: Hush - Batman & Superman by DC Direct and MAFEX

There are 3 more Batman: Hush figures already announced by MAFEX (Catwoman, The Joker…without guns and Hush himself). Since there have been a few figures that came out on time lately, we can assume that those next 3 will be inevitably delayed, as is tradition with MAFEX.

More news at 11:00… Up, up and awaaaaay!
