I was only talking about the Page Punchers Superman. The first promo pic has the cel shading missing on the side of the upper torso only. It is every where else on it. The newer images it looks like it might be there.

I see what you mean. The first promo image was likely an early production sample, while the new images are likely of a final production figure.

Does 6" or 7" even matter when it comes to Mcfarlane and their scaling issues ?

It kind of does when the 6" figure is a re-release of a DC Direct figure made before they went under. I hear ya on this, though. There are way too many 7" McFarlane DC Multiverse figures with 6" scale heads.

Both. One is based on Superman from the original 1978 movie and the other is based on the Superman '78 comic book series, which continues the story from the Reeve movies. They are two different figures sharing parts but with different paint and packaging.

I kinda figured the guns being at mass retail with the Walmart Jonah Hex figure cemented that. They just have to stick "not a toy" somewhere in the promo shots that feature guns and that apparently indemnifies them.

Also that Batfleck 2-pack has a bunch of guns.

Good point. I don't know, I just assumed two packs were special or something. Seeing a single release figure with a firearm just feels like we've fully left the woods

Why is no one talking about how Jason has a gun?! They're letting the cartoon toys have guns?! We're back! The guns are back!

Well, RH certainly looks significantly smaller that the other two in the pictures.

Yes, he does. It's particularly noticeable that Red Hood is a 6" figure in the photo of all three figures together.

(pay more attention to the figures in-package than the figures in front. I guarantee each was photographed seperately and shopped together by someone who may not have been told that these aren't the same scale)

I'm so confused on the Superman. The original promo pick was missing the cel shading on the side of the upper torso, but these new pics shows that it might actually be there. I wonder which Is correct?

Red Hood is 6-inches

He is? All the listings (such as Big Bad's) say he's 7.

Someone somewhere is off.
