McFarlane Toys Unveils New Strange Lives Of Superman Figure

The DC Multiverse is not done just yet as McFarlane Toys continues to bring DC Comics to life including some new Supermen 



Article Summary

  • McFarlane Toys debuts the DC Multiverse Strange Lives Of Superman Collector Edition action figure.
  • The figure includes three head sculpts: standard Superman, lion-headed, and Ultra Superman versions.
  • Accessories feature swappable lion and human hands, a fabric cape, and a collector art card.
  • Inspired by Silver Age comics, this figure celebrates Superman’s unique and bizarre comic book adventures.

The Strange Times of Superman isn't a single series but a recurring theme in various comics in DC Comics. These come in one-shots or Elseworld stories that focus on different or multiversal tales of the Man of Steel. Whether he's split into Superman Red and Blue in Superman #162, acquiring new rainbow hands in #125, or transformed into a lion-headed alien in Action Comics #243. These "strange times" often explore the limits of the character's mythology and morality, especially during the Silver Age. McFarlane Toys is now bringing the Strange Times of Superman to life with a new DC Collector Edition figure. 

This new DC Collector's Edition figure comes with not one but three different heads, capturing the Man of Steel throughout these Strange Times. The lion head makes its return along with his Action Comics #256 Ultra Superman appearance, and a standard Kal-El head sculpt. Other accessories include swappable lion hands and an extra pair of human hands, as well as a fabric cape. Strange Times of Superman is starting to arrive in stores now (like Target) for $29.99, and listings are up but not live.

Superman is a founding member of the Justice League, and an inspiration to countless other heroes, continuing into the 31st century and beyond."
