In honor of DC's Superman '78, "Page Punchers," comic-book series, McFarlane Toys and DC Direct has produced a 7" representation of Christopher Reeve's Superman, based on the applauded, Robert Venditti/Wilfredo Torres/Gavin Guidry, "what if" saga; and I'm as proud as a peacock to declare, I own one!
The figure is detailed with distinct, comic-book "inking," with a "billowing," cloth cape and a striking, physique and facial resemblance to Reeve.
The figure also comes with twenty-two, moveable parts, giving the figure a dynamic flair far and beyond what one may find among comparable, action figures. As a further treat, the package includes eight, extra hands (one fingering a Krypton crystal); a circular base; an art card; and an actual, Superman '78 comic (enclosed at the packaging's rear), featuring not only Reeve's Kal-El, but Margot Kidder's Lois Lane, Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor and special, guest star, David Bowie's Brainiac.
This is, indeed, a super release and one that any Superman: The Movie/Reeve fan must own.
Get yours while the going's good. They're available at Amazon and any number of top-notch, novelty shops throughout this fine nation.
