Comic Statues & Busts: Cyborg Superman from DC Heroes Villains

From Mattel and the DC Universe, this exciting 7-inch scale action figure features brilliant colors, tons of detail, and plenty of articulation. Don't miss out on this exceptional figure!

Hank Henshaw AKA Cyborg Superman AKA The Cyborg has a pretty convoluted back story but to really simplify he's a dude who's been changed into an energy consciousness and can control/inhabit machines. At one point he took the form of Superman (with a dash of super DNA and Kryptonian tech) and fooled a lot of people into thinking he was the real Superman made into a cyborg (shortly after Superman's "death" at the hands of Doomsday). He's taken many forms but these days has an altered version of the Super suit and is a member of the Sinestro Corps and herald to the Anti-Monitor.... OK, that's still pretty convoluted. As a dude who's made of energy, is a cyborg, has Super-DNA and all the powers of a Sinestro Corps member (similar to Green Lantern powers) he's quite powerful as you might imagine.

For kids:
As usual these DCU Classics are great toys sturdy and well made for play but with good sculpt and paint quality too. I think there may actually be a few who may know who Cyborg Superman is too since he was part of such a big "event" in the 90's - of course that excludes real young kids. Even not knowing who it is the figure is obviously a Superman Cyborg and that should be pretty cool as well.

For adults:
The body is the basic DCU super body so looks good and strong but there are several key points in the sculpt that bring it above. One is the right arm which is cybernetic and has a pretty good amount of detail in it and ditto for the cybernetic portion of his chest which also has an extra piece added on. Even better the right fist sports a Quardian (yellow) power ring on each finger and they are not all identical. His head is the standout though with his terminator like skull face having great little details and touches like the individual teeth. And don't forget the creepy one quarter of his face that has skin and hair on it *brrr*. He also sports a nice looking long cape.

All the silver looks good and his costume is a clean red and black affair. His eyes are an intimidating solid red. And lastly his Sinestro Corps symbol is white on black in his chest (in the S shield shape). There really isn't a spot of worry in paint on this one.

If you're familiar with the DCU bodies you won't be surprised in articulation. As always a good amount for plenty of poses without getting in the way: ball neck and shoulders, pin elbows, cut wrists, ab crunch, cut waist, the really groovy (yeah I said it) hip joints that allow front, back and out motion without being balls so not hurting the look, cut thighs, pin knees and pin ankles.

This guy is probably my favorite from Wave 11.

The collect and connect (CC) is Green Lantern Kilowog and color me impressed. I didn't know what to expect but they went with the huge and intimidating Kilowog here. He's several inches taller than the standard figures and is simply massive. He of course also has all the standard joints and the head pops on to a cool slider pin/ball joint. There is lots of detail in his face and he's very determined looking like he's about to whip a recruit into shape. He is certainly a 5 star CC.

These classically styled DC Universe Comics action figures feature characters from the entire DC Universe. Each figure stands approximately 6 inches tall and features highly detailed authentic sculpts and superior articulation. The action figure 2-packs are perfect for fans of all ages to build out their collections.

This is a great package deal! Especially if you can find it for less than $100.00. Despite the high on line prices any good collector has to ask himself why he wouldn't shell out the money for this must have to any superman or DC collection. Great figures, both of them. Some slight color issues as the new DCU Classics superman figures have more brillant blues and reds, for this cyborg however the deeper red, closer to burgundy, is more acceptable as it denotes his more secret and sinister intentions.

The popular Green Lantern action figure line continues with a brand-new third series! The series features Cyborg Superman, Batman as a Green Lantern, Sinestro and Star Sapphire, all from Geoff Johns' historic run on GREEN LANTERN and featured prominently in the popular "Sinestro Corps War" story arc!
