DC Icons Superman Doomsday 2 Pack Photo Review

Posted on December 7, 2017 at 12:31 pm by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

DC Icons is fading into the sunset, but they are going out with a bang for their (maybe) last release. The Superman Doomsday 2 Pack is a box set that relives the epic moment that Superman died at the hands of the unstoppable force Doomsday in the comics. The set features Doomsday in his final form, and Superman in his tattered costume along with a slew of awesome accessories. You get a rocky base and individual rocks so you can recreate the iconic last scene, the shredded cape on a stick pops into that base too, also molded to match the epic cover. Superman gets 2 blast effects – a heat vision ray that attaches to his eyes and a punch effect. Doomsday has a smaller shredded cape that fits onto his spiked knuckles also recreating pages from the comic. It’s all wrapped up in an inner box that gives you a mini diorama of the street in front of the Daily Planet where the final battle took place.

All in all it’s a superbly done set, the figures, accessories and box all hit the right notes. If these are indeed the last DC Icons figures, it’s a good way to go out. Read on to check out some additional thoughts and almost 100 HD shots including the epic battle between Superman and Doomsday!

It is in stock now and shipping from site sponsor Entertainment Earth.

Overall Thoughts:

Well done DC, well done. This was a super fun set to play around with. The figures are sculpted and painted well. Quite possibly the best of the Icons run. Superman has an emotive expression that works perfectly in fight scenes. Doomsday captures his raw power. The only negative is range of articulation. The cut points are there, but on Doomsday his muscles limit arm range. Feet are pretty good but the ankle rock isn’t really there. Superman has full range, but the Icons style of legs can produce some goofy poses if you don’t pay attention. Supes also doesn’t have open hands, so he’s punching forever. The “dead head” for Superman is also well done, he looks peacefully asleep. Blood and body hair on Superman is a nice touch.

The accessories are top notch. A mini dio of the street, the cape flag, heat blast, punch blast – all perfect. The blasts in particular should make their way into future Superman releases. These are the things that put this set over the top in terms of awesomeness. The cardboard inner of the Daily Planet street is a nice touch, great for close up photography.

All in all, if they were going to do this set, this is how it should be done, and they did it. Hopefully down the road, if Essentials catches on, we can get a similar version at the larger scale.

    Supes is about 6 Inches. Doomsday bigger, didn't measure exactly. I consider all ICONS on the "small 6 inch scale". They will not work well with Marvel Legends etc.

    Solicitation has them at:

    DOOMSDAY—7.1″
    SUPERMAN—6.1”

    Was about to order this beauty when I realized just how many Doomsday figures I have that I never, ever display.

    Spent my money on Mezco's GitD Space Ghost instead.

    I get the feeling that if Icons had been doing sets like this from the beginning, we wouldn't be talking about the line coming to an end.

    It sounds bad to say, but I hope Essentials isn't that successful, and that we go back to Icons. The scale doesn't matter much to me, because we got such an amazingly diverse cast of characters and accessories. The fact that we aren't getting more is a disservice, because now not many of these figures have others in-continuity to go with them. This is why I like the two-pack so much; hopefully they keep doing this sort of thing if Icons comes back. I'll keep supporting the line until it does.

    I haven't stopped to count, but I seem to have an abundant plethora of Super & Spider Man figures on my shelves. I did not set out for this milestone, but I don't think I need to augment this collection with a hairy Kryptonian.

    DC Icons COULD have been a decent line, but DCU Classics did the job sooner & better. Icons seemed puny and brittle. And any New52 versions left me cold.

    While there are good things about this set, the fact that Doomsday's elbow joints are engineered perpendicular to the way they ought to be really irked me about this set. I tend to like the bigger, bulkier characters best as toys, so I was really looking forward to the variety this unique bulky-built Doomsday was going to offer to my Hulk and other BAF displays until I saw I couldn't bend his arms properly. Since then the figure was returned to his place in the box and I'm not sure what to do with him now. This was the first thing I noticed with this set, and yet it isn't even mentioned in the review. Am I the only one who believes it isn't too hard to engineer an elbow joint correctly? This is the sort of thing that will forever keep DC Direct from really impacting the toy industry, because they just won't get their quality up there to match those companies that can engineer elbows correctly, each and every time.

    What about dremeling the bicep piece on the Doomsday figure to accept more of a bend? Has anyone done this? I know it sucks having to correct something like this. I saw photos of someone who did this to the Suicide Squad Katana figure and it made a huge difference.

    I've been considering correcting it to salvage this toy, given that I've dropped $65 or so on it. I imagine heating the arms, separating them, then dremeling/sawing out a crevice into the arm so it properly supports correct anatomical movement, and then trying to fill in the gap left from the original cut with epoxy putty that is pigmented to the exact same shade of gray of Doomsday... It'll be a bit of a chore. I suspect I will attempt it eventually, but I've too many other non-hobby urgent tasks I need to attend to first. When I have time... I just wish people would do their jobs correctly. How hard is it to get an elbow joint correct?
