Justice League Superman has finally been announced by Hot Toys. Coming late 2018/early 2019, he will feature over 30 pints of articulation and many interchangeable parts including hands and a heat vision head sculpt. We have been waiting for this announcement for a while now; I guess it was to protect the "secret" that he was in the film. Regardless, here he is in all his glory, and he looks awesome.

Justice League was released in last fall and went on to break numerous box-office records around the world! As a direct continuation to the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Son of Krypton, Superman returned from dead and battled against the formidable super villain intruder Steppenwolf and his hordes of Parademons to prevent an invasion of the Earth.

Everything about this release feels right. One thing I enjoyed about the film is that Henry Cavill finally felt like Superman. Not that I didn't enjoy him in the part before, but in Justice League he has the perfect blend of sly humor and gravitas that I need in my Clark. The figure could have a little more of a peppy vibe to be perfect, but that's okay. I will take it.
