Toy Sightings | Superman Movie by Spin Master

Hot Wheels 5-Pack | Justice League

07.20.2018 – These days when a film or animation is released chances are a plethora or merchandise gets produced. Most of them are based from what appears in the films, animation, or videogames. Sometimes this merchandise tends to overdo it in putting a product going beyond the original concept.

Hot Wheels is known for its weird and odd concepts, but also produce some of the interesting ones based from its source material. The recent Justice League movie produced vehicles that Batman uses to combat the Parademons led by Steppenwolf in the 2017 film and this five-pack bends that concept.

Action Comics #961 | Doomsday Protocol

08.16.2016 – The “Path of Doom” featuring Doomsday’s return when Superman, the one who died in the landmark 1992 series “Death of Superman” was about to settle in the new DC Universe after Rebirth is trying to balance life and being a true hero.

This is the fifth instalment of the story arc written by Dan Jurgens with three rotating artists and this is Stephen Segovia’s debut since DC Comics brought back the original numbering for Action Comics starting with issue number 957.

In this issue Dommsday continue his rampage all over Metropolis being protected by Lex Luthor proclaiming himself as this city’s ‘Superman” powered by the Mother Box alien technology, but was assisted by the Pre-Flashpoint Superman. Confused?

Just to make it short and brief for those who didn’t caught up with rebirth. The Superman from New 52 had died “in the last days of Superman” and this Clark Kent is from the world where ‘he died’ when DC Comics killed him through the appearance of Doomsday that was drawn by Dan Jurgens in 1992.

DC Unlimited: New 52 Superman!

06.14.2013 – The DC Universe Classic was the answer to Marvel’s popular toy line in Marvel Legends which is still coming out with new figures by Hasbro. The DCUC line was discontinued after Wave 20 which was available on retail.

The succeeding line was next known as DC All-Stars but it became unpopular with the fans that Mattel abandoned. It was re-branded as two series of figures in Batman Unlimited and DC Unlimited which by far is confusing for someone who is starting up with the collection.
