Man Of Vinyl…

This fabulous 15″ tall vinyl statue with cloth cape was produced by Hamilton Gifts in 1988, a year after the release of Superman IV.

Resembling an oversize Super Powers figure the likeness owes more to Jose Garcia Lopez line art than his cinematic counterpart. Part of a range that included similar comic-book treatments of Batman (and Spider-man?)The figures came with white metal stands and were articulated at the shoulders.

Interestingly, the molds were re-used and sold in Warner Bros. Stores (minus stand and featuring slap-dash paintjobs) for many years later until their eventual demise…
