Superman – One:12 Batman v Superman Photo Review

Posted on April 8, 2017 at 11:23 am by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Mezco’s One:12 Collective continues to produce top tier figures at the 6 inch scale. Their Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice figures have been some of the best executed so far. Today we are taking a look at Superman from BvS: DoJ. Superman features a stunning likeness to Henry Cavil, and is the best execution of his suit in this scale yet. The fabric suit features the ornate pattern with a layered super symbol, and lays tight on the figure. Coupled with Batman from the line, it’s a perfect pair for the shelves. Let’s take a closer look after the break courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

Mezco One:12 Collective Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice Superman

Overall

Another winner from Mezco. The Batman v Superman figures have all been fantastic, and Superman caps it off. The likeness on his standard head is crazy, almost every angle nails the Cavil look. The open mouth ones, standard and heat vision ones, not so much. On this one and the standard Batman, the open mouth ones don’t do it for me. Look very doofus-like, like they are making a fart noise or something. But the resting faces are perfect. Fabric is tight and complicated, perfect execution. I don’t dig the One:12 figures with noticeably large fabric, where it looks doll like, or Mego like. These work though, as do the ones with significant leather like Daredevil. That’s personal opinion though, I know some are down with the style.

Cape construction – not bad. Pretty much no cape I’ve run across in the last year or so on any figure, from any company, is great. This one works well if you flip it back onto itself. It can’t really lay flat in a single layer and come down in front of the figure without a big poof over the shoulders. It doesn’t really keep any dimension either, it lays straight down the back or bunches up unnaturally. However, in a straight-down setup, it looks great.

Alternate hands, great, no problems. Accessory – Gotham City sewer cover that breaks apart – cool but nothing epic. Alt heads – discussed above. Stand – as usual with One:12, great.

Bottom line, best DCEU Superman to date. Worth a pick up!

    Honestly, I think it depends on the angle and lighting. In some shots, it really genuinely looks a lot like Henry Cavill. I think this specific examples' eyes aren't painted as well as usual, in addition.

    There are some angles where the figure does indeed look Cavill-ish, yes. But there's a big difference between the things you're saying and the hyperbole in this review.

    Not to mention the the figure overall is just ugly to me. The colors are way too vibrant and the dude looks like he's wearing a bulky, oversized oven mitt.

    I get where you are coming from, but when I say this I don't mean its a 3d scan at master sculptor levels. It's within the scope of a 6 inch figure's expectations. This is the closest to Cavil at every angle of any of the figures so far, and I'd even argue better than Hot Toys. Of course some angles will be better than others, and lighting plays a part. The pic you chose from my set is the softest light of them all, cuts and details of the face sculpt are less present.

    I can't tell these horrible Cavil Superman movies apart, but you do have a point. But after looking at some pics, I'd say he looks pretty much the same now, except maybe his face is a tad bit fuller.

    I get where you're coming from, but when you're writing a review and you're saying things like "stunning likeness" and "likeness on his standard head is crazy" and "almost every angle nails the Cavil look," you DO set an expectation of a certain level quality.

    Yes, as has already been said, the head generally resembles Cavil from certain angles and in certain lighting conditions, but it's more realistic to say it's an overall decent but not outstanding likeness. But - in my opinion - it doesn't qualify as "stunning," or "crazy." But perhaps the figure looks better in-hand?

    That pic of the Hot Toys Superman you posted looks way closer to Cavil and the Mezco one, IMO.

    Fair enough, but it's a picture you obviously chose as good enough to represent how the figure looks in a close-up. I mean, you even included it in the batch of pics you have to scroll through to get to the full gallery, and typically those pics are the best of the bunch.

    Listen, we'll agree to disagree, that's all.

    Oh, and so I don't come across as a totally critical wanker, I do have to say that even though I don't like the figure, I DO think your photo shoot for it was totally kick-ass! Great camera angles, fantastic lighting, excellent backgrounds, and I really dig the Photoshop effects you did with the eyes and all.

    It's all good man, just discussing back and forth, like the good old days when people chatted without going into flamewars

    I do actually think it is stunning, and, I do think it's better than Hot Toys, especially what's shown there. Def disagree with your opinion on that one.

    My thing, Hot Toys is more of the "hit it at one angle, perfect, rest looks like a Cavil impersonator". With many of their figures. With this figure, in hand, almost all angles produce a situation where you recognize it as Cavil, even if not perfect. To me, mixed with the great dead on shots, it warrants the "stunning". That was my logic behind it.

    Wow, you mean people on the internet can actually have a difference of opinion without resorting to name-calling? Amazing!
