5.0 out of 5 stars
Probably the best figure in the Superman Returns line so far,
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Superman Returns Clark-To-Superman Superman (Toy)
why is it the best figure so far? because it's pretty much a no-frills figure. sure, it's got the Clark Kent disguise, but when it isn't wearing the disguise, it's just a normal figure. actions figures in the past have a reputation of coming with colorful costumes that don't match what the character would normally wear and special features to entertain little kids but also often succeed in making the figure look deformed. but with this figure, there are no buttons, levers, or special action features to make the figure look silly or deformed, and the costume looks exactly how the costume in the movie looks. plus, the size of this figure (as with the rest of the line) is the same as the Batman Begins figures, so they look good next to each other. i do wish this figure came with a little piece of Kryptonite though just for novelty's sake, but that's just me. i remember a Superman figure from the 80's that came with a Kryptonite ring with a magnet inside to knock down the Superman figure when the ring is held near it, and i wish they'd make a figure like that again. otherwise, this is a great figure.

This is the one to buy!,
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Superman Returns Clark-To-Superman Superman (Toy)
The last son of Krypton finally returns to the big screen, and Mattel does a fantastic job of capturing his likeness in action figure form with the "Cark to Superman" articulated figure. Of the currently available 5.5 inch "Superman Returns" action figures, "Clark to Superman" is the one to buy! It's the best "no frills" representation of the man of steel, with a suit made to resemble the one in the film exactly (it looks MUCH better than the oddly shiny representation in the Amazon image), and no levers, triggers, or anything else sticking out of his back or anywhere. It's just a great Superman figure, pure and simple! Kal-El's cape is fabric, his suit is highly detailed with textures and paints, and he has 10 points of articulation (knees, elbows, hips, shoulders, waist, and pivoting head). The overall design makes for some amazingly realistic poses taken right out of the film!
Now, unfortunately, I cannot give this figure the full 5 stars I'd like to, even though it is an outstanding Superman figure. The problem lies in the figure's special feature, the transformation into and from Clark Kent. As other reviewers have already mentioned, the cape is the source of the trouble. The pants and shoes work fine, the wig with attached glasses works great too (though it looks a little bulky and weird), but the shirt just doesn't look good simply because the cape must be stuffed into the back. This not only ruins the Clark Kent disguise effect, it also wrinkles the cape. It seems these secret identity transforming figures always lose out in one suit or the other, and I think the only ideal way to handle it (since a removable cape might hurt the Superman look), would be to make it an action figure two-pack. Nevertheless, fun can still be had with this figure, especially if you forget about transforming him into Clark Kent. And, for the collector's display shelf, this IS the one to get! I also recommend picking up the Missile Launching Lex Luthor figure, with its amazing likeness to Kevin Spacey, and seek out the Batman Begins "Battle Gear Batman" (see my review) for the most basic "Batman Begins" Batman figure.

This review is from: Superman Returns Clark-To-Superman Superman (Toy)
This figure is really neat in that you get a suit, shoes, and glasses and a hairpiece (attached) to transform Superman to Clark Kent and vice versa. The only quip I have is once he is in the suit, it looks bulky because it has to hide the cape and all those muscles. There's a reason in the pics on the site he's only half dressed. He looks slightly funny in full Clark Kent Mode.
But the SUPERMAN part of the figure is awesome. He's articulated well and can move in to countless positions. He looks authentic, and everything is well done. There are no gimmick buttons or anything else to distract from the action figure. He's fun to play with, or makes a great collector's item. Very fun, and probably the best figure in the line of toys so far!
