Superman is almost here, and accompanying James Gunn’s DCU revival, fans can expect a collection of toys from Spinmaster.
Man of plastic
James Gunn’s Superman movie is tracking for some massive box office when it lands in theaters on July 11th, with predictions calling for between $150 and $175 million USD on opening weekend. That’d certainly be a huge deal for Warner Bros Discovery, who along with director James Gunn, is relaunching the DC universe into theaters under the movie’s banner. And since it’s looking like Superman will be a force on the silver screen once again, you bet there are some toys and collectables coming along with it.
Fans have likely seen more than a few offerings announced for retail in the weeks to come, but Spinmaster has just unleashed a pair of offerings as well. Both are aimed at the full spread of fans, be they collectors or kids, and come stocked with action features.
Including both the title hero and the monstrous Kaiju from the movie’s trailers, the Superman vs. Kaiju Slime Battle harkens back to the heyday of the 80s and even the 90s. That’s right, it actually packs in some ‘slime’. This set of hero and beast includes slime of its monster, and this is the first time in while that we can recall seeing that. As for the second offering though, it’s a little cuter, and a lot more airborne.
Superman’s Kryptonian pup Krypto is the star here, for a figure that actually flies. The coolest part? Up in the Sky! Flying Krypto doesn’t need an app or remote controller to do so either. Once charged up, the collectible takes to the air via its rotors and a motion sensor built into its belly. That little sensor reads your hand underneath its body, according to Spinmaster, meaning you can actually guide him through the air.
Spinmaster says that both Superman vs. Kaiju Slime Battle and Up in the Sky! Flying Krypto are priced in at $29.99 USD each, and should be available now via Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Full details below.
Superman vs. Kaiju Slime Battle
Get ready for the ultimate clash of hero and monster with this action-packed set featuring a towering 12” Kaiju and a 6” Superman action figure. Superman throws powerful punches to take on the mighty Kaiju, who fights back with fierce claw-swipes. When the Kaiju is defeated, kids can unleash a dramatic blue slime explosion, making every victory feel epic and exciting.
