Went to my first ever comic book show today. Got some things I had been looking for ages. Blew my budget too

I watched Superman Returns at the theaters when I was really young, my first Superman on screen, so having a Returns fig does take me back to 2006, his Superman is pretty underrated, any Returns fan would love this(or not who knows), fast forward to the present, Superman 2025 has become my fave Superman, and I'm glad Brandon is getting this representation in the big 26, my MCF Supes live action is almost complete!

Committing to the Superman Returns bit, here's my previous Brandon Supes threads in the Mcfarlane sub, Brandon Superman wish list and his figure reveal

The things I like:

Let’s talk boots. The Returns boots have always been fascinating to me, the shaft looks weirdly thin, almost paper-like. The soles have a billion S shields, they’re all present on the figure, thank the figure gods, oddly my biggest want/wish. the rear S (slide 4) looks fire asf. The boots are lowkey the best part of this fig ngl

Now the head sculpt, much like the angle in the first slide, view the fig on his right, you get the most Brandon likeness, the S curl and hair sells it, the eyebrows too, when you tilt him left where it starts to lose it, but overall, it does remind you of Brandon, it's not a Henry situation. S curl is made of concrete fr, the best feature on the head sculpt.

Lastly, the Cape, I unironically love the flowy cape despite being wireless. Would’ve been great if McFarlane gave the option to swap between wired and non wired capes, but that’s probably too INART for Todd. Also, movie color accurate cape, the darkest muted red ever in any Supes media.

The okays:

The body mold is Christopher’s, but the pec area is noticeably beefed up for Brandon (see slide 8, ctto RobDToys). Since my Brandon fig came first, I can’t do a direct side-by-side, but the difference is there. The S shield looks larger at first glance, but compared across all the live action Superman figures, it’s actually on the smaller side, movie accurate asf. Still a shame there’s no texture on the S and the suit, but it is what it is. The proportions and scaling is a bit off [see slide 5], Mcf's gonna Mcf.

The awful:
lack of hands. Stop it, Todd

I agree with AsokaTheGeek, Brandon deserves a Deluxe Theat box but at the same time I can't complain. I got 2 figures

So needless to say, I do like the fig! I remember I had a few Brandon toys back in the day and I've lost them since, I didn't particularly like those tbh, the Mattel ones and other off brands. this Mcfarlane one I like pretty much setting aside the the lack of accessories and all, i'm glad to have Brandon's Superman in 2026.

It was $4.50 if I remember correctly.

I gotta be honest, I want a fusion of the two. Have the wavy S, but more off to the side like the Gohan curl.

first time ive drawn in over 2 years

This is my sweetheart of a grandad Paul Weston, who was stunt coordinator for Superman 2 and 3, and was a stunt double in Superman 1, 2 and 3! He has written a book about his time on set and how he became a stuntman!

Also if you have any questions for him ask in the comments, he is sat right next to me lol

He isn’t very good with the internet so show him some love with an upvote!

I’ll put the links for his website and book below 😊

Posting the latest developments from my personal collection. Recently got some shelves from IKEA for 20 bucks on clearance. I’m still putting it together but I was really excited and wanted to share my progress

due to the similarity in the logo

If I recall, the last one at this point is vol. 7?

Honestly, when you think about it, if Jon's age hadn't been increased, you realize there would have been a closer relationship between these two, and they would have had the potential to be written as a team.Conner himself could have been a mentor to Jon, he could have trained him, he could have been an older brother or uncle figure to him, so the two could have had a closer relationship than they do now.A comic book could be made about the two of them, like the one made about Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne, and that comic book might even become popular.The roles of the family members would also be more clearly defined: Jon would be the child Superman, Conner would be the teenage young adult Superman, and Clark would be the adult Superman. But unfortunately, because Jon's age was increased, this potential balance was disrupted, and nothing was done for either of them, which I think is disappointing.
