August 8, 2016: Square Enix Announces NYCC Exclusive Superman Figure
Posted by Neil Cole
SUPERMAN has established himself as a shining beacon of hope for humanity. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he faces off against BATMAN, the dark hero of the DC Comics universe.
Square Enix have highlighted the noble, classically heroic characteristics of SUPERMAN, in striking contrast with BATMAN’s complex dark aspect. The chest and cape utilize flexible materials, creating a wide range of motion. SUPERMAN’s iconic take-off and landing poses are easily recreated. Square Enix have also paid special attention to the fine details, keeping close accuracy to the design of the character in the film, such as the small Kryptonian insignia etched into the waist of his suit. The finishing touches are his accessories, including expressive interchangeable hands, and a face piece that features his powerful heat vision. All this and more make this figure a superb depiction of SUPERMAN.
This New York Comic Con 2016 Exclusive is rendered in grayscale, a long-requested paint variant from fans of the PLAY ARTS KAI line. The black and white coloring evokes Superman’s black and white film serials, while still highlighting the sleekness and dynamism of his modern design in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
