00:00the man of steel has to make the ultimate sacrifice here's a look at the
00:04DC multiverse Batman V Superman and Doomsday and Superman
00:30Gotham City's formidable forceful vigilante takes a metropolis's most
00:35revered modern-day Savior while a new threat quickly arises putting mankind in
00:39greater danger than it's ever known before okay who's gonna go in there and
00:44clean up the mess that Luther left in the lab before we actually find that out
00:47we're gonna draw straws I think that's the best way to decide let's take first
00:51the tape measure and see how tall the Batman V Superman Doomsday and Superman
00:54actually stand one rather apparent observation I noticed about Superman is
00:59gonna involve me bringing in the original Superman we got from the Snyder
01:02cut first things first though let's grab the tape measure measure the biggest boy
01:05doomsday is gonna stand at 10 inches in height see that's 10 inches right there
01:10that's translating though to a figure that's about 25 and a half centimeters
01:13tall then to a shorter supes and I mean a shorter supes he's actually only gonna
01:18stand at seven and a quarter inches in height or about 18 and a half
01:21centimeters tall for comparisons before we actually look at suits let's bring in
01:26both Batman and Wonder Woman that also appeared in Batman V Superman and I
01:30think the reason why I feel they actually shorten the size of Superman by
01:33the way though in case you are wondering here's what he looks like with a Snyder
01:36cut release Superman so clearly he is shorter than though the original one
01:40that we got before it isn't just though the case that they changed out to a
01:44cloth cape if you put the boots side to side and you look at the height of
01:47Superman in the Batman V Superman over here to the Snyder cut clearly though
01:52the Snyder cut of Superman is a little bit taller but I think though the reason
01:56why they chose to do that dwarf the size of Superman that is probably had more to
02:00do with the fact that they wanted to make him at least more closer in size to
02:03both Wonder Woman and Batman that's the only thought I could think of because if
02:06not for that if you were to say compare him along with the Snyder cut Superman I
02:09think then he would be a little bit too tall and probably out of scale as for
02:14the accessories though that come in clear with the pair the figure first of
02:17all come with a pair of display stands both the stands are no different from
02:20one another they got the DC logo branded down below they've got one peg off to
02:23the far corner that can plug into either one of the figures feats they have one
02:27they have one and they have one peg so obviously you can't put both feet on
02:30both pegs unless maybe you decide you want to use both display stands for
02:33doomsday I think that would be a little excessive myself one thing that's kind
02:37of a little excessive too is the fact that figures do come in clear with
02:39trading cards not the fact that they get two of them you get one for Superman you
02:43get one for doomsday but though what's interesting is on the back of the card
02:46the readups are exactly the same I could probably get away with the idea
02:50that maybe Superman would have a read up and in fact this is the same read up
02:53but also got on the back of Wonder Woman's card and Batman but then to have
02:57that also on doomsday it would have made better sense I feel to have a read up
03:01that's a little bit more relating to of course the character the fact that Lex
03:05is meddling around with Kryptonian DNA I don't I just feel like they probably
03:09could have done something a little bit different on the back of the card so
03:11that the readups weren't exactly the same let's move those off to the side
03:15though the figure does come included at least for Superman he's really the only
03:18figure that actually out of the two come include with accessories Batman first
03:21of all comes included with four pairs of integral four separate swappable hands
03:26he comes with a gripping hand first of all to hold the kryptonite spear he also
03:29comes include with a relaxed hand he does also have a gestured hand or flight
03:34hand and also a pointing hand to change out the hands on soups it's just a case
03:38of obviously just pulling the hand off the peg and then find the hand that you
03:42want to use I'm gonna put on right now the gripping hand because I want to
03:45have the Kryptonian spear in his hand although not long that's gonna kill
03:47Superman after all hands again are super easy to change put Superman down here
03:52for a second the figure also does come include the kryptonite spear does answer
03:56already one question I had when we looked at the armored Batman not too
03:59long ago in fact I mentioned though that the armored Batman didn't come include
04:02really much in the way of accessories not only does Superman have and I think
04:06there's a little piece of tape left behind here let's just peel it off not
04:09only did Superman have the Kryptonian spear but I think also the armored
04:13Batman that comes well the armored Batman that is the platinum edition is
04:16also gonna come include the kryptonite spear as well so you get a couple of
04:20spears off it around so if you're a little disappointed the fact that the
04:23original armored Batman doesn't have that you get it with this pack get it
04:26also as well with the platinum edition armored Batman to the spear though oh
04:30don't want to drop the spear the spear though can be held in his hand although
04:35again you don't want to probably have this in his hand too long Superman
04:38doesn't really like the idea him and kryptonite don't go really hand in hand
04:41peanut butter and jelly not not at all the case when you have a Kryptonian and
04:45kryptonite but again just pry the hands they're a little harder I find like the
04:50grip that is it's a little harder to get that get the spear in there I would
04:53certainly recommend though heating this first with hot water did I heat this
04:56with hot water in preparation for this review absolutely not but anyways though
05:02you can't get the spear also in his hand I'm gonna I'm gonna fiddle around with
05:05that and get that all prepped for final looks in the meantime though let's get a
05:08closer look at Superman now I already established the fact that if you look at
05:12them back-to-back this I'm trying to get this as leveled as I possibly can get
05:16this I don't know if can you see yeah not only though and maybe it's also his
05:20neck to the Snyder cut Superman maybe I've had a longer neck and maybe Matt
05:24may have added then to the extra height that he has but if you look at them it
05:28almost does seem like he's also got a smaller Superman emblem the one that was
05:32on the Snyder cut visibly at least I feel has a little bit bigger of a
05:36Superman S the one that we get here now with a Batman V Superman release seems
05:40though like the S is a little bit smaller is it just me maybe it's just my
05:43eyes my eyes don't deceive me though clearly though you got a nice warmer
05:47color here for Superman's face and his neck it a little is a little bit more
05:50paler though when we looked at the original Snyder release of him the
05:53biggest changes though obviously are that in the cape the original Snyder cut
05:57would have had a plastic cape and now with following the format of most DC
06:00multiverse figures the new Superman has this glorious cape I first of all love
06:04the color I also like that they added a wire built into the side of the frame so
06:08of course if you want to put a dynamic pose into Supes you can easily pull that
06:11off you can maybe even have it off to the side like this oh that looks good
06:15very stoic so I love the fact that first of all he even if they were exactly the
06:20same figure and there wasn't a height difference at all being that just having
06:23a fabricate being introduced this figure is more than enough for me want to get
06:26this set now of course I can have this guy displayed very nicely with my
06:30Batman and my Wonder Woman head sculpt wise it very much still looks like
06:33Cavill I don't think the original head sculpt was questionable at all either
06:36but I do think that the warmer tones work a lot better now for Superman's
06:39head I don't think much has really been changed here for the Superman costume
06:43pretty much the same color maybe you could say it's just a little bit
06:46bluish a little more blue in color the lower belt is about the same the boots
06:51also are different I should say the same except for the bottom of the soles one
06:56couldn't help but notice though that the original Superman from the Snyder cut
06:58had textured soles now the Superman that we get here in this two-pack actually
07:02just has regular flat feet the articulation on this guy's gonna be
07:06retained the same of course his head's gonna be on a ball joint very tight
07:09though getting this guy the packaging head looks up head looks down head moves
07:13also back and forth the upper torso is gonna be on a ball joint the lower
07:16abdomen is also the same the arms rotate all the way around you can get this guy
07:20in almost a T pose little on the tighter side there we go there's a T pose right
07:25there the arms do have a bicep swivel they also possess as well a double hinge
07:29on the elbow and hands do swivel all the way around whether you want to use these
07:32hands or other pairs of hands as for his legs the legs do easily split out
07:37ratcheted joints working of course behind the scenes legs go forward legs
07:41go back there's a swivel at the top of the thigh double hinge on the knee again
07:45you're not gonna have any articulation here for the boot because it's just a
07:47continued sculpt for the rest of the calf but he does still in fact have
07:50ankle articulation not only moves up and down it does rock back and forth and yes
07:54Superman still retains toe articulation though it's he has different those soles
07:58he still manages to have a foot articulation at least toe articulation
08:03so nice looking Superman if this guy was just released alone I would probably
08:07still picked him up even though again I already have the other Superman from
08:09before and just get him to stand here let's move our focus now over to
08:14doomsday now I know the big issue really with doomsday was the fact that they
08:18rushed this guy so quickly into the movie oh there goes Superman you know
08:21what let's grab a display stand display stands are there for the reasons of
08:24obviously keeping these guys from falling over so let's get him on the
08:27display stand make sure he's not gonna be going anywhere while I'm getting
08:31Superman actually on his display stand I know again one of the big issues really
08:34with doomsday was the fact that they everybody really kind of felt that
08:37Snyder rushed this guy too soon into the movie that they could have easily pushed
08:41doomsday into an appearance later on into the franchise well we all we all
08:45already know that Snyder's franchise didn't pursue any further than the
08:47Snyder cut the thing that's interesting though is that Snyder's already gone on
08:51record and saying that this isn't the real doomsday in fact actually they kind
08:55of even teased this in the movie too when the computer in the Kryptonians a
08:59ship says that they had outlawed such experiments indicating though that
09:04doomsday the real doomsday is still existing somewhere out in space and that
09:08this is basically just another version of doomsday even though by the namesake
09:13alone you would you would think that he's the same character I still think
09:16though the original doomsday is still somewhere out in space not that it
09:19really matters anymore one real issue I have though with the figure is not
09:23necessarily his size he's also very hollow too you'll kind of really notice
09:28this right away when you start kind of move his arms around that his torso
09:31feels knock knock who's that actually that did hurt that his torso does feel
09:36like it's a little more hollow side you got hard plastic though for his arms and
09:40also you got that down below for his legs the only thing again that's a
09:42little hollow is doomsday's torso one real issue though I have kind of with
09:47him is more the color the only thing I really have like as a comparison right
09:50now we'll go back to the card if you look at doomsday's card and then you
09:54look at the figure here I feel like there's a lot more grays on the movie
09:57version of the character than what we actually get here he has all this now
10:01welcomed green on here that I don't think really need to be on there in the
10:04first place I think if anything I would have kept the colors really more of a
10:07darker gray added maybe some browns more darker colors like that I think though
10:12the colors don't quite match the way that he should look in the movie let's
10:15go for what it is as ugly as it is doesn't look pretty good though it's kind
10:19of really hard to make out his eyes though because they're so incredibly
10:21small I do like the grimace that they've sculpted on his face they painted in the
10:25teeth really well and even though I don't think that the colors match 100%
10:29they've done a really nice job of sculpting this guy he looks finished
10:32from all the sides I love the way they've also sculpted his spinal cord on
10:36the back here there's his behind not that yet if everybody wants to really
10:40see what doomsday's behind looks like but again like a really well sculpted
10:43figure visibly you can kind of see like in his joints what the plastic would
10:46have originally started at it's more of like a like a very bright blue plastic
10:50and clearly they would have gone in there and painted everything else as
10:53well now as doomsday suffers damage in the movie he starts to develop these
10:57spikes in the beginning though this is kind of like the early stages of him so
11:01he doesn't have much in the way of spikes sticking out of his of his noggin
11:03certainly doesn't have much spikes sticking out of his body but as of course
11:07as he continues to progress and charge up and power up spikes start to protrude
11:11out from his body so he's got a few of them here but not nearly enough I feel
11:14like this guy probably could be getting released again I mean this guy would
11:18have been tooled from scratch cost involved of just producing this mold
11:21from scratch I would like to think that they're probably gonna get some more
11:24mileage out of this so you never know we might get ourselves a platinum edition
11:27doomsday down the road for the figures articulation though doomsday's head is
11:31gonna be again on that ball joint so it allows the head to rotate all the way
11:34around heads gonna look up well if you blinked it you may have missed it heads
11:38only gonna go up about that far but the heads gonna look down a little bit
11:41better heads gonna also rock back and forth but only just a little bit now the
11:45upper torso and like his lower abdomen are all essentially one mold so when
11:49you're rotating the one you're rotating the both they're only on a single single
11:53ball joint so they're gonna rotate all the way around yes he does have still
11:56sort of the softer figure diaper here but I think it's still pretty close the
12:00only thing that's a little jarring though is there's a lot more blue here
12:03and a lot less of that on the rest of his body his shoulders allow the arms
12:07rotate also all the way around when you bring the arms out at a T pose I can't
12:11help but feel like this one arm here has even though it hasn't yet done it
12:14I keep feeling like as I'm moving it this arm wants to like detach itself
12:18from the rest of his torso again it hasn't happened yet I know it's gonna
12:21probably happen at some point though so full rotation T pose on this guy he does
12:26have a swivel not in the bicep necessarily but he has a swivel here in
12:29the forearm he has a very very small hinge here for the elbow obviously
12:33loads probably not to disrupt much of the sculpt but it only allows the elbow
12:37to bend at a little less than 90 degrees hands also rotate all the way
12:41around there's a hinge back and forth there as well the legs split out nice
12:45ratcheted joints work in there as well legs go forward the legs go back there's
12:50a nice swivel there too single hinge allowed creaky hinge there for the lower
12:54leg and again you got yourself the ankle articulation an ankle rocker and toe
12:59articulation that's what he looks like I'm not that you would I get this close
13:02to doomsday's feet but he does have again the notable pegs on the bottoms I
13:06think there's enough again changes here that doomsday really realistically
13:10could have been released on his own I still would have picked him up but the
13:13fact that they give him now an updated Superman to battle I think was really a
13:16nice touch doomsday again like I think color wise is not really as close as it
13:21should be maybe in the movie but again what we do have at least though is a
13:24modern version of Superman not that the original Superman was all that bad
13:28before but of course now we got ourselves a fabric cape really nice he's
13:31also a little bit shorter too which might be a little bit jarring to
13:34collectors the first time you get this guy out of the packaging if you had
13:36planned for example to put him next to the regeneration black suit Superman
13:39which is using and borrowing the same mold as this guy you can notice there's
13:43also a size difference but again I think the size difference had more to do
13:47cleverly on their part to reduce the size of Superman so he would be a little
13:51bit more than in size with both Batman and Wonder Woman that's at least my
13:55thought because again if you take yourself the Kryptonian in the Snyder
13:59cut I think he's a little too tall I mean being the size of Ben Affleck and
14:03that Henry Cavill is a lot shorter of an actor I think though that one that we
14:06now get in the two pack makes a little bit more realistic sense if you're
14:10looking to display the three on your shelf I may have had to cheat a little
14:13bit here in final looks in order to have Superman looking like he's flying
14:15towards doomsday with a Kryptonian spear obviously he can't do that without a
14:19flight stand I would have liked though that a flight stand could have been
14:22included with this pack but considering how much plastic already got allotted
14:25for doomsday I can understand why they chose to leave it off the flight stands
14:29though are certainly something you can easily get a dime a dozen if you already
14:32are collecting DC multiverse figures I've got enough of these at least
14:35although I've noticed over time that the flight stand next start to develop
14:38looseness at least the one I'm using right now seems good and tight I
14:41couldn't help but also notice the way Superman's flying the Kryptonian spear
14:46that's probably not the best place Superman does be poking doomsday still
14:50that's as good as we're gonna get here at least with a small rotating rotisserie
14:54like this I'm chuckling to myself the figure though as a as a whole I do think
14:58that there's improvements made for Superman that even if he was sold on his
15:01own I would still want to pick him up doomsday though again is a nice
15:04inclusion because we didn't have a doomsday up to this point the only thing
15:08about it though is that doomsday's colors don't quite gel with the colors
15:11that he looks like in the movie more darker grays I feel should have been
15:14really given to this plastic but to have finally a doomsday that Superman can not
15:18only die but be resurrected finally get this guy as part of a two-pack not a bad
15:23thing at all what do you guys don't think of the Batman V Superman Superman
15:26versus doomsday overlooking of course the fact that looks like it's gonna be
15:31in the groin if you guys did enjoy this video though do it a song throw it a
15:36like you guys want stick around for more so I hope so hit that subscribe turn on
15:39that Bell and come back as always thanks for watching see you guys next time
