Jollibee Kiddie Meal Man of Steel

And Jollibee has done it again! after their DC related Kiddie Meals featuring The Brave and the Bold Batman and Green Lantern the animated series, Philippines' Fast Food Giant Jollibee is riding on the coattails of the Man of Steel movie by offering Man of Steel related toys for their Kiddie Meals. There are three toys to choose from, a disc shooter, a picture viewer, and a Superman figurine. I had no interest for the first two toys, so I skipped them. What I chose to get however is the Superman figurine. To know more about the figurine, read on.

The Superman Figure

Man of Steel

The Superman figure stands at approximately 4 inches and is composed of hard plastics. The figure has some good amount of detail, I think impressive enough for a fast food toy. It only has swivel arms as an articulation, which springs up once Superman flies. (See Photo Below)

Flight Pose

The Figure comes with a base that has a switch/lever that would simulate Superman flying up. I hated this action feature however because Superman does not actually fly up, but he just falls down. The base also has Superman marked on it which can also serve as the figure's display base. (See Photos Below)

The figure's likeness to Henry Cavill is not as defined, but that is to be expected for a Fast Food toy. In fact this Fast Food Toy can serve as a great substitute for the basic Man of Steel figures from Mattel. I think those figures are too overpriced for their size and quality as they are selling here in the Philippines at approximately $20 (800 Pesos) per figure. I practically skipped on those figures and opted instead for the Movie Masters Superman (which I think is also overpriced at around $40 or 1,700 Pesos). This fast food toy meal however will be my substitute. (See Photos Below)

For scale comparison, I took a quick photo of the figure with a McDOnald's Happy Meal Young Justice Superman and a Mattel DC Infinite Heroes Public Enemies Superman. The figure looks good when standing side by side with those figures. The figure can be a good compliment to DC Infinite heroes collectors.

Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern from Jollibee

I also took a photo of the figure along with other past Jollibee DC Related fast food toys. And I must say, they look good together. Superman I must note shares the same plastic material with that of the Green Lantern figure. Hard play will result to paint chips as the skin colors were painted on the figure. (More photos below)

Up Up and Away

Overall this is a great figure to have if you are looking for a 4 inch Man of Steel Superman action figure. If you don't have the money to spend for an overpriced Mattel Man of Steel Superman, then this figure is a great substitute. Hurry up though as I predict this figure will sell out fast.
