I'd be very down for a Frank Quitely Superman figure. Something high quality with a cloth cape, some extra heads (with a smiling head), hands, and no visible joint pegs.

I personally want a good DCEU Superman figure (especially his MOS costume) but nothing yet exists that fills what I want (unless you count hot toys):
>Good articulation/sculpt
>Cloth wired care
>At least 2 faces that don't look retarded

The JL Mafex is decent but their face print tech is still a way off. Meanwhile Figuarts didn't quite nailed the likeness either, lacks accessories plus is web exclusive for some dumb reason.

I do really like the DC Direct All Star Superman, but it depends if you are ok with DC Direct's limited articuation.

I don't mind them, the sculpt on pic related, and their Alex Ross and Darwyn Cooke's Superman figures are some of my favourite

I have faith that Mafex will make a comic version eventually. Their classic Spider-Man is looking great. At the very least they might do a Christopher Reeve one at some point as well

You just don't understand. The jointed cape can be posed way more dynamically than regular hard plastic or flimsy cloth.

So then get a third party cloth cape. If superman is such a grail for you, then you shouldn't balk at that.

Clearly not a grail for you if you are too cheap to do that. Seriously, don't whine about not having an ideal figure of X character if you are a cheap fuck who can't be bothered to with an extra step.

That is impossible.
I am not sure why it is impossible but after collecting for nearly ten years and not finding a single good one I am pretty sure it is.
At this point even if we get one that isn't mediocre to awful it will be a post-new 52 suit or God forbid a DCCU Superman.

Not seeing the problem; those are to the best of my knowledge the best, most poseable Turtles of that design in that scale on the market, and they look pretty alright. And given Yamaguchi's track record with the other capeshit Revos, a Supes should turn out pretty amazing. Unless you just really hate Yamaguchi's style, which is fine but ultimately a subjective opinion.

From what I can tell from this pic, the "problem" appears to be people who don't know how to pose getting their hands on figures that do, admittedly, take something of a knack to pose to their true potential. But please, continue posting cherrypicked photos to "prove" how Yamaguchi figures are somehow "shit" because you don't like them.

I think the character is cursed. They always seem to get so close to perfection but then overlook some crucial engineering flaw that ruins the entire figure.

Irrelevant, the thread is about superman figures, stop de-railing it with your little hateboner for unrelated shit.

The new Essentials Supes seems pretty good. Only problem with the figure is the lack of accessories.

He does seem to have a hint of a smile. It's very subtle, though.
I think he comes out next month.

Yamaguchi handles all of the non-movie super heroes though.
For the record Revoltechs are fine but Yamaguchi has never made a face that isn't stupid looking.
The shoulder issue is what gets to me as far as Superman goes.
With Deadpool for example you have to do a stupid amount of dynamic posing to hide the floating shoulders and Supes isn't exactly known for his dynamic combat style.
