I'd swore off Imaginext figures because it's too easy to collect too many of them, but caved in on this Kingdom Come version of Superman, a favorite version of the caped, Kryptonian. Kingdom Come (1996) is one of my all-time favorite DC Comics stories, making a very big impact on me, returning to reading comics and collecting action figures seven years ago. For awhile now, Imaginext have been delivering some really fun action figures among their line of blind bag offerings, and have dug deep into the DC mythos with some fan favorites like Martian Manhunter, Plastic Man, and Red Tornado.
Series Two continues this trend with characters like Emperor Aquaman form the Flashpoint storyline, and Sinestro in his traditional black and blue outfit. Wonderful!
Kingdom Come Superman comes with kryptonite chains accessory, which is appropriate, but does not seem to fit onto him all that well. Perhaps I don't have the arms properly situated...
Below, Imaginext Kingdom Come Superman with New 52 Superman, who shares the same body sculpt. See my 2011 post on the DC Direct JSA Series Kingdom Come Superman for a more conventional look at this incarnation of Superman!
More Later- Make It FUN!
So cool! We love Imaginext!
