Toying Around Reviews - Earth 23 Superman
DC Comics Multiverse Line
Justice Buster Series - Earth 23 Superman
Today we will be taking a look at the new Earth 23 Superman figure from the DC Comics Multiverse line. If you are not familiar with him, and I am not, his name is Kalel and he is also the President of the United States.

You have the DC comic’s logo in the upper left with The Multiverse logo right below it. Reverse Flash is clearly displayed in the box with a picture of Batman and the name of the figure listed below.
The back of the box lists a quick bio on what the line is all about, and the rest of the figures to come out in this 1st wave are listed on the left (Batman, The Joker, The Arrow, Superman (Earth 23), The Flash and Reverse-Flash). On the right of the box is an image of the COLLECT AND CONNECT Justice Buster.

Final Thoughts:
While it is nice to have a Superman from a different earth, I feel like Mattel really missed that mark on this one. They are re-using the body from the New 52 Superman and while that isn't a bad thing, it feels like they just tossed that cape on the back with no thought into it, it looks like a giant napkin just resting on his back. While the overall figure itself isn't bad the cape really takes it down a few pegs in my book
Time for some Toying Around!!!!
The retail cost $19.99
I give Earth 23 Superman a 5/10
