I couldn't believe my luck when stumbling upon this McFarlane DC Multiverse Cyborg Superman a couple weeks ago. Wow! I've never had a Cyborg Superman, but did enjoy the villain in the Sinestro Corps War book (2008). There is a McFarlane Target Exclusive variant of that Sinestro Corps Cyborg Superman in darker colors that I will buy if I see it in the wild. Hank Henshaw first appeared in The Adventures of Superman #466 (1990), but not as Cyborg Superman in issue #500 (1993). The sculpt and presentation of this figure is top notch and appears to be nearly all new tooling aside from the left arm and belt/trunks. Impressive!
Cyborg Superman alongside some other recent McFarlane Superman additions to my collection; World At War Superman, Christopher Reeve '78 Superman, and Gold Label Action Comics 1,000 Superman ...
And finally, Cyborg Superman with some of my other McFarlane "dark Supermen"; Red Son Superman, DC Vs. Vampires Superman, Superboy Prime, and God of Apokolips...
I can't say enough good things about this Cyborg Superman- being my first action figure of the character, I doubt you could do any better, really. My only gripe is a longstanding omission of a flight stand in a considerable percentage of characters that should include one. Regardless, it's a shame McFarlane is losing the licensing when producing figures of this caliber. Recommended!
More Later- Make It FUN!
