I know the cel shading is accurate, but if the red and black on the trunks were reversed, I'd be a lot more apt to get this. Superman is my favorite superhero, I loved the '90s cartoon, and I think Mondo absolutely nailed it. Even the yellow (instead of red) heat vision is accurate to Bruce Timm's animated series.

I pick and choose my Mondo items......this is definitely getting pre-ordered.
It's a pretty good-looking figure overall. Lois's accessory is really creative. I would have preferred double-jointed elbows, although Batman had pretty horrible double joints that made single joints look good. They did make better ones with Spider-Man, but I also see the argument against it since it probably wouldn't work as well with Lois's accessory. My real issue with this figure is the head sculpt. It feels like it's almost there, but something is off. Translating 2D animation into 3D is never easy, so I can't be too harsh on Mondo.
Why can't McFarlane make such cool laser eyes, because it's so cool. (MAFEX does it well too.)
I guess if Lois is going to be an accessory for Superman, the chances of her getting her own figure are pretty slim.
I probably wouldn't have bought a $200+ Lois anyway, but this leaves McFarlane as my main hope for getting this amazing animated version in the future.
