General Zod, Other Man of Steel Superman Toys Revealed
Via French site Toyzmag.com, we have our first significant look at Mattel’s (unfortunately) inevitably mediocre Superman toys for later this year. Perhaps most significantly, it gives us a better look at Zod, and the fact that Michael Shannon probably did not sign off on his likeness. Also, he looks like he won first prize in the Kryptonian horseshoes contest.

My French is quite rudimentary so I’m not sure where these were taken, but I suspect the UK Toy Fair. Also pictured are some card mock-ups, the stretchy figures that a commercial leaked for last year, mini-vehicles and a design for a basic Superman figure that rips a motorbike apart.
I am not yet kneeling, General.
UPDATE: Those pictures seem to be down but they’re still HERE.
