This review is from: SUPERMAN RETURNS SUPER BREATH SUPERMAN Figure (Toy)

I am pretty sure that Superman is "the" biggest pop-icon of our era.
That being said here's my next point:

You would think that toy companies (especially ones as long-lived as Mattel) would have plastic molding down to a precise science or at least tolerable art.
Well, they don't.

Saying that this whole line of Superman Returns action figures is sub-par is being nice. What is with Supe's head? The purpose of a comic-book-chiseled-chin is to define the strength of the one's posture and a sense of confidence. Superman Returns action figures appear as though Clark Kent's only real super power is super-constipation and an acute case of kryptonian-scoliosis.

The Spiderman fully-poseable figure from the first movie was amazing; articulate, well-matted, and nearly perfectly painted. Moreover, the Superman and other figure molds coming out of DC Direct are artistic and produced beautifully.
Can you try a little harder?

Action Figures are as collectable as antiques and shrunken heads. The market for Superman toys seems to be growing and the originality of these figures seems to be holding strong.

I collect Superman Action Figures. However, I am particular. I admit, I'm a dork. But I think my collection is beautiful. I was hoping to extend my compendium with a proper representation of the newest installment into the Superman Universe with the new movie's release. I only hope the Superman Returns "Ultra" Series is better than these 5" plastic punch lines.
