You've read the script, you've seen the production designs and now you can
buy the action figures! That's right, this is the long-lost line based on the
never made live-action motion picture Superman Lives! Yes, the movie
that was written by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats), was going to be
directed by Tim Burton (Batman, Planet of the Apes) and was to star
Nicolas Cage (Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds) as the Man of Steel himself,
Superman Lives! was to be a mega-blockbuster but it was never made. So now toy
industry giant Kenner, has decided release the action figures from the
movie that they were given the merchandising rights to. So now four years after
the film was meant to premiere, the an all-new Superman based line is here!
ELECTRO-CAPTURE SUPERMAN With Electro-Net and Eradicator Armour!
This is the star of the line and movie Superman! Just like in the movie
the Big Blue Boy Scout wears Eradicator armor. His Electro-Net is perfect for
trapping Brainiac! Also company spokesperson said that there are a few GOOD variants
on the way also. Yippee!
ENERGY DRAIN BRAINIAC With Energy Draining device!
BONUS!
ALIEN VICTIM
With Blaster!
This is the villain of the line, Brainiac. The same company spokesperson
said that this is only the first Brainiac and to expect a deluxe figure next CustomCon!
He also added that ENERGY DRAIN BRAINIAC look is not how the character was going to
look in the movie. This look has been reserved for the deluxe figure.
GRAPPLE ATTCK BATMAN With Grappling Hook and Spear Weapon!
Is it possible for Kenner to concoct an action figure line without the Dark
Knight? Well, okay, Batman was going to make a brief appearance in the
movie. Well at least he's wearing a black suit with cool accessories.
FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE playset With Guard Polar Bear and Rejuvenation Tube!
Wow! This one came right from left field! The spokesperson said that this
playset may be released as is or it could be released in the second wave with
a few extras!
Brainiac's SKULLSHIP Vehicle With Menagerie Creatures and Operating Table!
A vehicle in the first wave! With MULTIPLE bonus figures! The extras that come
the ship are called (left to right) ATTACK DRONE (with interchangeable
screen!), CHOMP ALIEN (with realistic bite action!), SOARING ALIEN BUG
(with capture cage and possible wings!), BRAINIAC'S OPERATING TABLE, and a
character that was going to be in the movie, L-RON (with drill!). Apparently
the "rib cage" is removable. Also, this ship has a light-up and sound feature with
two sounds!
KRYPTONIAN ESCAPE SHIP With Bonus Baby Kal-El!
That's right TWO vehicles in the first wave! This ship seats ELECTRO-CAPTURE
SUPERMAN as well. Baby Kal-El also snuggles up into a Kryptonian blanket!
Look out for SUPERMAN LIVES! Wave 2 next time at CustomCon7! Eradicator, Doomsday,
Lex Luthor and much, much more!
