I wasn't into all the MOTU characters  but really liked the bearded barbarian looking figures ,and Fisto fit the bill. Lots of kids I knew owned Fisto.

Superman product has been collecting dust on  toy aisle shelves like forever ,so It wasn't hard to find a Superman figure to display next to  Batman.I was really looking for the first Aquaman release or Wonder Woman but all they had was the variant Aquaman and no Wonder Women :( All is good,though.I have them both In my eBay watch list ;)So lets check out the figure shall we....

Here he is posing,with his flowing strawberry fruit roll up..I mean cape draped behind him.  Here's Supes coming In for a landing.It's the only really dramatic pose I could get him to stand In without him falling over.  He's all right ,for a toy.I l
