Mattel Movie Masters Man Of Steel Superman and General Zod

  I just started buying some of the Mattel Man of Steel Movie Masters figures. I used to have some of The Dark Knight figures but I got rid of them in trades for WWE figures with fellow wfigs.proboards.com members. Anyway enough about that. Lets talk about the Mattel Movie Masters Man of Steel figures shall we? The Mattel Movie Masters figures have gone through sort of a redesign in their articulation by getting rid of the ab crunch torso that is comparable vital part to a Mattel WWE Elite figure. Many collectors are kind of mixed on their reactions of the figures not having the ab crunch articulation. Some are against it. While others are for it. Some just don't care that its gone. As for my Opinion I can live without the ab crunch.
  Now onto the Superman figure. Superman is the best Superman figure out there. Its better than any Kenner Superman ever made. A lot of collectors are complaining about the rubber cape not being made of cloth. I guess these collectors are blind because the Batman figures had a rubber cape too. Superman's costume is pretty cool as well. It's better than the one from Superman Returns. Also the figures are packaged with their heads down for some reason. So don't let that turn you away from buying them.
  Today I picked up General Zod. General Zod is a great figure too. I heard there's going to be one with armor coming out in the near future. So we'll have to stay tuned for that. General Zod is the same height as Superman due to all of the Movie Masters figures not being in scale with one another unlike the WWE figures Mattel Makes. Also I may add that the Man of Steel Movie Masters figures will be a better seller than the Green Lantern figures from the Movie Masters line. Because The Green Lantern figures sucked and sat on shelves forever. 
  On a side note if you came here looking for the Christopher Reeve Movie Masters figures, you were probably disappointed that I wasn't talking about the 12 inch figures that were sold on Matty Collector that can now be found at your local Ollie's Bargain Outlet Stores.

Superman Is an Illegal Immigrant

  I hate to be a bearer of bad news but I'm afraid I have no choice to tell you this. I was talking to my friend at work yesterday when I was mentioning when superheros who come from other planets are illegal immigrants and how would they document where they were from. I happened to mention that America's favorite superhero Superman is an illegal immigrant.
  1. He came from another planet. When his spaceship crash landed on Earth from Krypton he was found in field by his adoptive parents. Now if you found a baby boy in a field somewhere with no form of ID whatsoever wouldn't you just call the authorities such as the police dept or the FBI. No they just take him in without reporting anything to the authorities.
   2. How would you get him a Social Security card, birth certificate, and birth records, when you find a baby from an alien planet in a field without raising eyebrows from government officials? Simply its a fictional universe but i am going to nitpick on this like this is in the real world. Superman's adoptive parents couldn't just adopt a baby that they found without him being put in some kind of foster care first. Legally you could not adopt a baby that was abandoned on your doorstep without the proper legal procedures. So in order to get their baby a birth certificate, Social Security card and other important paperwork they would have to go to someone who forges documents.
   3. Wouldn't people who know his adoptive parents be suspicious of where they got the baby? For all they know they could have kidnapped the baby. All of a sudden having a baby would raise questions because the adoption process is a long process with all of the legal stuff.
   4. Why isn't the US Government concerned that the fact that Superman is obviously an illegal immigrant due to the fact that everyone knows he is from Krypton? Maybe the government gives amnesty to heroes who are illegal immigrants. On top of that the US Government cannot deport his ass back to Krypton because it exploded. So I guess the government loves American icons so much that they don't care.
