I really do like the NECA Superman, even with exaggerated sculpting but my favorite is still the McFarlane Action Comics 1,000. It looks amazing with the Knightfall Batman as a classic Superman. I'm hoping to get one from the 2-pack coming up because I really like the colors on that release. The blue is lighter and they painted the S in more flat tones which I think I like over the metallic colors.

Action Comics #1000 is the best. The face sculpt and head strongly remind me of Dan Jurgens' features and slightly of John Byrne's. The uniform colors and the shields are sensational. Honestly, among the ones in the video, I chose Action Comics #1000, but truth be told, with mine, I did a Kitbash to make it exactly as I needed: I merged the chest, head, and cape with the remaining pieces from the Superman Hush figure. To me, it turned out fantastic!!! The best 7'' Superman - 1/10.

All the MEZCO heads I got came with neck pegs. So I replaced the McFArlane peg with the MEZCO one. Some people think the head looks too small on the body, but I think it gives it those 1990s heroic proportions.
