Now, as always, keep in mind I do not have the whole collection of any of these and accessories are misplaced and I will also provide My brief commentary as usual.. So without further ado here we go!SUPERMAN RETURNS!
S3 - S3lect Sculpt Invulnerable Superman: I got this guy at My local Target (I shopped there a ton then) in 2006 when the movie was getting ready to be released (Me & Mom would see it together at the show a couple weeks or so after the crowds slowed down) and I thought Mattel's line was pretty nifty but I really wasn't looking to collect like them like DCUC, I just wanted a good figure version of this Superman and that's really it. Mattel's S3 or Select Sculpt series was pretty on par with the current products by other companies at the time and this "invulnerable" version was extremely to My liking. He is in 6" scale and basically is a statue but that was fine with Me. The sculpting overall is top notch and IMO is one of Mattel's finest offerings from any series and the likeness of Brandon Routh is quite decent. His face is nearly spot on as is his physique. I love the background display with all of the bullet holes there and all of the empty shells on the ground. Of course the whole "action" feature of this "diorama"-like display is the bullets ricocheting off of his chest!
10" Superman: While I only wanted a "legitimate" version of "The Man of Steel", I also saw a cool 10 inch tall version over at Target that was to My liking since I like figures that are 1/6 scale or close to it. This figure's sculpting & likeness is also dynamic. Unlike his smaller counterpart, he has a cloth cape and he does have some POA with a ball-socket head & shoulders, cut hips and hinged knees & ankles. He is almost like a Roto-cast figure IMO (a cool trend that companies like ToyBiz was making at the time that I miss) and is very fun to handle and display.
14" Hyperposeable Superman: Again, as a fan of large figures, I knew this guy was coming out due to figure news pages. It wasn't till I guess about a month or so after the film came (don't quote Me on that) I got him at Toys "R" Us getting some new Star Wars figures (I remember seeing them brand new TNA figures by ToyBiz...a Sting vs. Monster Abyss 2-pack...man I should've got it and I regret it to this day) which I was really on a very thin budget at the time. I had Skinner from the X-Files pre-ordered from Sideshow Toys and since he was so exclusive they cancelled orders so then I thought well, I could use that saved up money for this great Superman and I'm glad I did! His likeness is superb and I love his body. Some say he is 12" or 13" tall, really is very near 14" in height! His POA is really out of this world. His fingers are even articulated! Sure, he isn't the most articulated figure ever but for Mattel, they did a pretty darn good job here! He is a bit on the fragile side as his plastic seems a little thin.

I would be there getting the new hot items. I'd get em' and talk to the guys on the Matty board there all about it. I know Matty Collector and Digital River had their issues but I really miss those times. So when they were released I made sure I get all of them!
I never take his clothing off but I can tell that he has a lot of POA. Maybe not as much as some other 1/6 figures that the most avid 1/6 collector would desire but he has a lot (I mean
