Packaging - *1/2
This figure comes in one of those open box deals, leaving your figure vulnerable to the elements and the kids running through the toy aisle. The box has several motifs similar to the 5" figure backing: the drawing of Superman, and the white crystals backing to name a few. On the back, there are two pictures of other products, but Mattel didn't even bother to label them.

Sculpting - **1/2
The sculpt is very similar to the 5" figures, which has already been covered on two previous reviews, so I'll just give a few highlights. This figure has that same cloth "pattern" on his body like the smaller versions.

I like the new belt design, and with a larger sculpt, we're able to get a better look at it. I was amazed at the amount of details that was sculpted into the 5" version's boots. Those details don't seem to stick out as much in the 10" version. The "S" on his heels also seemed a little less protruding than on the smaller versions.

There are two improvements that the 10" version has over its smaller cousins. First of all, I generally prefer this face sculpt to the 5" version. It's still not a dead ringer for the actor, and pretty similar to the smaller sized one, but I think this one looks nicer. Also, I like the ability to tilt the head down, allowing Supes to look like he's using one of his supervision abilities.

The other improvement is the cape. It's still cloth and made from the same material that's used with the 5" figures, but it's actually placed all around Supes' neck, letting it rest on his shoulders. It looks a lot better than the awkward looking 5" versions.

Paint - **1/2
This mainly depends on who you get. After going through 4 guys, I found this one with pretty decent paint ops. The face is very well done with sharp looking eyes and eyebrows and no bleeding with the hair. Others I saw had messy work on belt and chest emblem. My figure seems to be one of the luckier ones, where sloppiness was kept to a minimum.

Articulation - **
This figure shares many of the same articulation: ball socket head, cut waist, leg and knee joints. But he also has ankle joints! Unfortunately, the movement was very limited, allowing Supes to only move his feet forward not backward. He also has a primitive ball socket joint at the shoulders, which are also pretty limited compared to the ball joints used in the Clark to Superman figure. But what I'm mostly frustrated with is that there's no arm articulation at all. Every 5" figure at least has elbow joints. Why not him? I'd even be happy with wrist joints, but Mattel really has something against articulation, I guess.

I also wanted to note that the figure's head joint was very loose on mine, as well as his knee joints although to a lesser extent. It's just makes poising this guy a little more frustrating.

Does the box count?

Action Feature - Bupkis
Finally, some good news.

Fun Factor - ***
He's a 10" figure of Superman. What he lacks in accessories or action features I'm sure your kid can make up with imagination. That is if television didn't suck the last remains of it out of your kids yet.

Value - **1/2
I got him for $9.99. That isn't too bad, seeing that a 5" figures goes for $6 to $7. But on the other hand, for a couple bucks more I could have gotten a 12" super-articulated figure from Toy Biz.

Things to Watch Out For - 
Pretty much check out the paint ops and make sure that some rabid kid didn't rip off a limb or something.

Overall - **1/2
This was a pretty hard call. I really like him over the 5" figure that I have, but I'm also really bummed about the articulation. Also, this figure's a bit of an oddball, since I don't recall there being a Batman Begins 10" figure, and Action Cape Batman is a lot taller.I was going to complain more about what Mattel could have done with this figure, but then I saw a picture of another one of Mattel's new Superman figures, "Ultimate Powers" Superman with his misshapen arms and bloated with action features, and I started to think to myself, "My guy ain't so bad after all."
