Action Figure #435: DC Direct Zod

  All kneel before Zod!

 So, while I'm not much of a fan of Superman I knew that I needed a General Zod figure. I don't know much about Zod but I do know that he hasn't had a very consistent design, despite how notorious he is, so any figure would do. Lo and behold, the Zod from Superman: Last Son of Krypton had a figure released! Needless to say, I got on the case.
 As a DC Direct figure, he doesn't have much in the way of articulation but they prioritized the sculpt. And despite the weird pre-posed legs, he is a very clean sculpt, with a nice amount of detail in the way of creased clothes. That said, this is a very simple design, so there's not much to look at here.
 Single jointed elbows and knees, with very little range, ball-jointed elbows, but no swivels, and legs that can only go forward and backwards are all you get here. It's enough, I suppose, but a waist swivel could've gone a long way. He is slightly taller than the Bucky-cap mold.
 These are the pre-posed legs. You can get him to stand on his own, but it does look a bit weird.
 He is decent. I've not love for Zod, but I needed a Zod figure, and... if any one figure would do, as long as it was on the six inch scale, I guess I'm satisfied with him. I guess.
