More crap on the way. With IM and Superman, the pegs will be very warm this summer.

Edit: Sorry folks, that site was asked by Mattel to remove the pictures from their site.

Mod Edit: Found new link + posts below

Hehe.

It's funny because Mattel's movie toys are now officially more poseable than Hasbro's.

Seriously, ball-jointed shoulders AND elbow articulation.

I'm not seeing the pix, just a big red 'S' and a bunch of French dialogue (and I don't speak French). Have the pix been removed, or am I missing something?

The update on the page says that Mattel asked them to take down the pics and they've complied.

They asked to take them down due to embarassment; but they were exactly as we expected, crap.

Still, less to be embarassed about than Iron Man 3 toys.... Not that that counts for much but considering the competition, you'd think Mattel would want to publicize the elbow articulation as much as possible.

Here's another site showing the photos - check 'em before they're gone!

I kinda like the Superman with the breakable motorcycle.

If they'd just have knee articulation added, this could be decent. As it is... it's better than Hasbro's Iron Man offerings, but still quite subpar.

I do still think the Superman with the breakable motorcycle is sorta neat, though.

Superman needs to be able to bend his knees and ankles to get into the iconic flying pose. plus have swappable flat-palm hand(s)

No. Sale.

Why is Superman destroying private property now? Shouldn't that be Zod's doing?
I expect this behavior from the Hulk not Superman! :-D

Is it just me or is Mattel hiding the Man of Steel line?
Many pictures came out of Mattel's booth yet not much was shown... unless the whole line is only two figures...
