  • Today we unbox all 5 basic action figures from the 1995 Kenner Superman Man of Steel collection and also the Hasbro Toyfare Exclusive Eradicator. The 2-Packs from series one will be for a different day, as will the vehicles and other figures from subsequent waves.
    I've put Eradicator in this video because this figure originally was meant to be released as part of the Superman Man of Steel collection but never made it to release until Hasbro made it a Toyfare Exclusive.

    Children could actually play with them... what a concept! We need more of that

    This is such an underappreciated line. The Superboy and Steel figs, especially. (Way back when, I repainted Superboy to be Mike Allred's Madman. Actually turned out decent!)

    I got a superman from this line when I was 4 back in 96 and it started my decade long action-figure collection. Loved it so much but lost it later on. After looking at the packaging (which I hadn't seen in almost 25 years), it just hit me that THIS WAS THE ONE! (holding back tears)

  • @teacherangello1082

    I got alot of these action figures waaay back in 1995 to1997.
    Love them all

    @SasmakToy Pƙed 5 lety +7

    This toyline always reminded me of the Nicolas Cage Superman that never was. The costume test photos and concept art of Cage in character look just like these toys anatomically and aesthetically w/ the hairstyle and such!

  • @stonewars3224

    The first Superman figure will always be my favorite. I just think he it is so well made. Most fans were mad about his hair being long, but I am probably one of the few who thinks it looks cool on him. It makes him look less like Clark Kent. I didn't like how the cape wouldn't stay on, so I glued it with superglue just so it looks more attached.

  • @SeViLionCollectibles

    These figures were my favorite toys for a very long time. Seeing them again certainly brings back a lot of memories.

  • @andrewwise4877
    @andrewwise4877 Pƙed 3 lety +1

    These figures were awesome. As a kid I was too young to clect Super Powers collection figures so there was a long drought before this line gave us the first Superman figure in years.

    These are really nice figures. It's weird that they never made Cyborg Superman who would have probably been the most popular.

  • @Jag2045
    @Jag2045 Pƙed 5 lety +5

    Congrats on getting all these Brad! I remember finding still boxed Hunter/Prey 2 pack, Steel and Conduit at a thrift store in Spain several years after the line ended and they were really cool figures!

    • @BradTheDCUniverseGeek
      @BradTheDCUniverseGeek  Pƙed 5 lety +1

      Jag2045 Dude, speaking of Doomsday/Hunter Prey two pack, I’m so excited for that one. I really wanted it 24 years ago but couldn’t afford it. Now I’ve finally got it.

  • @brion0220
    @brion0220 Pƙed 3 lety +1

    Cyborg Superman instead of Conduit would have been awesome. Conduit was new and never really took off and Cyborg Superman is the only 1 of the 4 replacement Superman not here. I also love that Kenner made the black suit, also used in the Reign of the Superman when Clark returned.

  • @Arrowdodger
    @Arrowdodger Pƙed 5 lety +5

    I dig the sculpts. Superboy in particular looks great.

  • @PlumeNoir
    @PlumeNoir Pƙed 5 lety +1

  • @jesseperry9602
    @jesseperry9602 Pƙed 2 lety

    This may be an urban myth, but I remember reading somewhere that Kenner was hesitant to make a Cyborg Superman simply because the design was too horrific, and they feared kids would think Superman had been blown up and had all the robot parts attached. Not knowing it was actually Hank Henshaw. Strange if true I know.

  • @LouTheAsshole

    I think Superman toys never just sell quite as well as Batman. You can get a carded Capture Net Superman from the TAS line for the fraction of the cost of the Combat Belt Superman, and both are the "primary costume" variant in their respective lines.

  • @falleneldor
    @falleneldor Pƙed 5 lety

    Given that while wearing this suit, he wasn't yet at full power, makes sense Superman is struggling to hold such a large gun. As a kid I use to use that gun as Steel's "toastmaster" that White Rabbit was dealing on the streets.
