McFarlane Toys Super Powers Classic Superman

There is just something toyetic about this new Super Powers Classic Superman by McFarlane Toys- appealing to kids of all ages. I haven't purchased but a handful of these new Super Powers figures, 'cause you can't just have everything you like, but I could not pass on this. While I had outgrown toys by the time the original Kenner Super Powers figures dropped in 1984, I am fond of their classic depictions of the heroes featured in DC Comics of the Bronze-Age -my sweet spot. Their seven points of articulation severely limit their poseability, and purists lament the absence of their former action features, but I do like their styling. This classic Superman looks so appealing on his cardback that I have just been displaying him like that.

Marvel Legends Dracula

 

I preordered this Marvel Legends Dracula loose from Nerdzoic awhile back, forgoing the BAF figure piece to build Blackheart as part of the recent "Strange Tales" Wave. A few others interested me, but you can't have everything. I'd love to see a '70s Gene Colan Tomb of Dracula figure from Hasbro, but I liked the sculpt on this newer version in medieval armor. I really appreciate the alternate head accessory with a neutral facial expression and love the sword. That ponytail is articulated/has a swivel. I've not seen this version of Dracula in Marvel Comics, but I purchased it based purely on its merits as an action figure.
