About this deal

The Homelander figure stands just over 7″ tall. The figure has about 30 or so points of articulation. Homelander has a set of open hands, and a set of closed fists. they swap out easily and look great. The sculpt work looks really fantastic in-hand, as the suit has a lot of texture work going on. Those small details are really intricate, and make the figure look more realistic. Articulation, and range of motion are pretty solid. There are double jointed knees and elbows, but the style that NECA is using on those looks really unnatural. After recently handling their MacReady and their Frankenstein, I’d have been fine with those being single jointed, which would have been more anatomically correct looking. The double jointed knees also seem to make his legs appear a bit short EDIT: Looking at screen caps, this does appear to be accurate to the show, but it does throw the proportions of the figure off when shrunk down. Along with the sculpted body is a fabric cape. The cape is embedded at the shoulders, and is handled really well. It feels like a natural part of the costume, and it’s a nice material with clean and crisp printing on it. Homelander includes three head sculpts overall, and each one looks pretty good, though they all share a really similar expression. The first head sculpt is a fairly neutral, or smug, expression. The second seems to be a slightly annoyed portrait, and is the one that prefer the most. It’s got a great likeness to actor Anthony Starr, and seems to fit the style of the figure the best. The third head sculpts appears to be a modified version of the second, and adds holes in the eyes for the eye beams, and a red highlight around the eyes. I would have preferred there to be a more prominent difference between the sculpts. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. The Starlight figure stands a little under 7″ tall, about 30 points of articulation. Starlight has a nice looking sculpt, with a high level of intricate detail work on the costume. Like Homelander, the costume has a lot of texture work, and that is replicated nicely here. Starlight has a good range of motion overall. The hips are hidden underneath a vinyl skirt, but the material is soft enough to allow for a decent bit of movement. There is a bit of hindrance due to the skirt, but that’s just the nature of using vinyl instead of fabric, which would have thrown the look off. The knees and elbows here use the same double jointed design seen on Homelander. With Starlight’s being a thinner character, the odd anatomy those joints produce feels more pronounced. Bending the arms at both joints creates a really odd looking elbow bend that I’m, just not a fan of. Starlight’s cape is connected at her shoulder joints, which gives the illusion of it being stitched in. It’s another effective cape, and serves the figure well.
