As you will recall, when this set was announced s an SDCC exclusive all Mattel was able to show us was the outer box. I guess Warner Brothers thought it was too much of a spoiler for us to know one of the last scenes in a giant action movie might be the hero and the main villain dukeing it out. Now the movie is out and the set can be shown.
At first glance this set will look like “hey we already have these figures” but if you look closely you will see some differences. Superman has a cloth cape and an action feature with light-up eyes to simulate his “heat vision.”
Zod is a combonation of the other 2 Zod figures with the gotee head on the skinsuit body and an I-beam accessory
The other thing that is significant to this set is that it comes with the flight base that was first shown at Toy Fair 2012 with the canceled 6″ Young Justice Superboy.
DC Man of Steel™ Movie Masters® Superman™ vs. General Zod Movie Pack
This 2-pack brings to life the super charged battle between two powerful Kryptonians, Superman™ and the General Zod, an exciting diorama set in the city of Metropolis! The package features lights that simulate Superman’s Heat Ray vision, and shows off the Kryptonian’s super strength and flying ability. The diorama is completed with sound effects to help bring the scene to life.
