It was.
There's really nothing overly complicated about the original costume, the most complex of which is essentially a raised circle in the center of the chest. But I guess that's too much of a challenge for McFarlane these days, opting instead to go with a set of costumes that have only seen a handful of appearances.

Is the original costume ever worn in DC or was it pre-DC? If it was pre-DC then maybe it's a rights issue. The line typically leans more modern, and the original costume looks like it would cost more to make, so I'm sure it's all part of it. I think the old costume looks silly, so I'm fine with the modern, DC version.

Shown below via robdtoys is an in-hand look at the new DC Multiverse Platinum Edition Icon 7-inch Figure from McFarlane Toys.
I know its accurate to the source but I wish Superman had an alternate head included with eyes. ?

I'm tempted to get the Digital Superman. I still think the best Superman from McFarlane is going to be Henry Cavill, but he's way too short to pair with Power Girl in a display.
Yes I have Power Girl and personally, I'd forget about pairing her with any figure. It's not the other figures' fault, it's her's. She is way too tall. Your best bet is put her on a flight stand.
Just now, yojoebro82 said:I picked up the Fleischer Superman yesterday from Best Buy. Honestly, it's darn near perfect. The buck is great. It's got the extra height to it that Todd's original Superman was lacking and the proportions are just tweaked to perfection. Two fist hands and two flying hands (no useless trigger hand), good wired cape, head sculpt captures the source material very well. There you go, it's just that easy to get a great Superman. I'll be getting the digital and the vs Godzilla figures that use this buck as well. Glad we got these options before the year's/license's end.
