Action Figures



Figures

Series I

Power Flight Superman

Your basic model Superman. While many fans surely had hoped for a short-haired, classic rendition, Power Flight Superman wasn't too shabby. This figure was one of the few that came with a built-in action feature. When the figure's arms were raised (as if in flight), the figure's head tilted back accordingly (albeit almost imperceptibly so). The action feature did limit the poseability to some degree. It also came with a superfluous "chain" accessory.



Laser Superman

After being killed by Doomsday, Superman was brought back to life through a series of events (and a touch of Kryptonian technology). However, when he returned, he was not back to his old self. His powers did not completely return immediately. This figure is a fairly accurate representation of the suit Superman wore while recovering (and fighting along side the likes of Steel, Superboy, and Supergirl). The huge gun is of course a product of the toy company imagination.



Steel

John Henry Irons was a construction worker whose life was once saved by the real Superman. The Man of Steel told him to make his life count for something, and with the apparent death of the real Superman, Irons decided to do just that. By fashioning a suit of armor (equipped with high tech weaponry and jet boots for flight), Steel became the guardian of Metropolis. The figure came with a hammer, swung with one arm.



Superboy

Thought at one time to be a clone of the real Superman, Superboy was a product of the Cadmus Project. His powers differed somewhat from the original Superman and his personality was a radical departure. Superboy's tactile telekinesis is represented in the action feature accessories of this figure. The accessories were spring loaded and could be launched from the figure's arm. Superboy was one of the best sculpted pieces from either of the SMOS releases.



Conduit

With the pantheon of Superman villains available to choose from, Conduit seems an unlikely choice to say the least. Conduit was the shortpack of the series, but in contrast to so many other shortpacks, he was the slowest seller of the entire line. However, the figure itself is actually a nice representation of the character. The action feature allows you to spin the energy tendrils on one hand using a wheel on the figure's back.
