General Zod Action Figure



General Zod Action Figure with Battle Armor 



General Zod Action Figure
This is General Zod Action Figure, and it's AMAZING. In fact, it's probably the best figure in the entire line.

Let's start with Zod's head sculpture. It's much better than the other one, which only marginally looked like Shannon. This one is not just the same head sculpture with a goatee added; it's an entirely different one, more detailed and more accurate.

The cape is also really cool. It's not just the same as Superman's but in a different color. It's a completely different one which shows tears and a better pose. Also, unlike the one in Superman's figure, this one doesn't hinder Zod's ability to stand. I don't know if it's because it's lighter, because the rest of the figure is bulkier or both, but you will not have problems making this figure stand.

The best part of
General Zod Action Figure, though, is the armor. It's incredibly detailed and perfectly true to the one in the movie. The paint job on it makes it look like brushed metal, which is really cool. And you can see the Superman-style meshed suit underneath it (the same suit he has in the other figures). They really didn't skimp on details. If there's one small gripe I have about the armor is that it hinders the figure's articulation in some parts. It's not a big deal, and it's most likely true for the actual Zod, but it diminishes the figure's posing possibilities.

The
General Zod Action Figure comes, like the previous ones, with a standing base, which is not necessary for this one since the cape actually helps the figure to easily stand. And it also includes a cool-looking semi-transparent helmet, like the one in the film. The helmet is really detailed and, just like with the rest of the armor, you can appreciate the H. R. Geiger influence on its design. The helmet applies to the head very easily and it won't fall off.

So, in short, this is a fantastic
General Zod Action Figure that everyone should have, even if you don't care for Superman or Man of Steel, this figure shouldn't be out of your collection, because it will look great everywhere.
