Medicom Toy has produced multiple Superman action figures for its MAFEX and sofubi lines, with the most recent release scheduled for April 2027.
Medicom Toy's 30th anniversary exhibition in July 2026 featured new Superman figures across multiple product lines. The MAFEX series displayed a Superman figure from the 'Superman: For Tomorrow' comic story arc, which includes four interchangeable head parts, a cloth cape with wire, heat vision effect parts, a vanishing device part, and a large gargoyle base. The figure stands 16 cm tall and is scheduled for release in April 2027 at a price of 14,080 yen.
The exhibition also introduced a Superman figure from the SUPER MANGA POWERS sofubi line, based on the 'Batman: Hush' version of the character. This release was part of a broader lineup that included Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, and Kamen Rider figures. The event ran from July 25 to July 30, 2026, at Space O in Omotesando Hills, Tokyo, and was free to attend.
Both figures were part of Medicom Toy's larger push across its major collectible lines, including BE@RBRICK, UDF, and sofubi, with the exhibition consolidating multiple pop-culture licenses into a single event. Some items were display-only or already sold out by the time of the exhibition.
