Each figure in this Super Powers line comes on a blister card that closely resembles the iconic Super Powers card from the 80s. At the top, we find the DC and Superman logos. The Super Powers logo is positioned below them. Superman himself is depicted in the blister bubble, accompanied by some artwork of the Man of Steel. The bottom section features a nostalgic McFarlane logo. Turning the card over, we get a great view of Superman from the side. On the back of the card, we find a cross-section of the other figures in this line. On the opposite side, we receive a brief description of Superman, Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive...The Man of Steelâ„¢ fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way. Turning the card once more, we are treated to another side view of the Man of Steel.

RATING:
What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?
PAINT JOB 5/5 - The paint on this guy is well done and the reds and yellows pop on this new lighter blue-suited Superman.
FIGURE SCULPT 5/5 -Â This is the Superman figure I was praying for when McFaralne announced this line a few years ago.
POSING 3.5/5 - This is a challenge to rate because it’s based on the 80s style and includes all the features a figure would have had back then. However, it would have been great to see elbow bends added.
ACCESSORIES: 0/5 - None!
DURABILITY 3.5/5 - The plastic is a little softer than I would like, it does make Superman hard to stand without using a stand. I worry about the legs warping over time.
OVERALL SCORE 3.4/5 - If you had the classic Superman from the 80s that this guy is based on then i say pick him and relive your childhood.
RETAIL COST: $9.99
