Superman

Medicom Toy has produced multiple Superman action figures for its MAFEX and sofubi lines, with the most recent release scheduled for April 2027.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 26

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.
