Pay homage to one of DC Comics’ most iconic era-defining storylines with the MAFEX No. 181 Steel (Return of Superman Version) action figure by Medicom Toy! Inspired by engineer John Henry Irons from the legendary 1993 Reign of the Supermen arc, this figure recreates the genius hero who built a mechanized suit of armor to carry on Superman’s heroic legacy.
Standing 17 cm (6.7 inches) tall, this figure is sculpted by SH STUDIO and PERFECT-STUDIO to capture Steel’s muscular, heavy-plated cybernetic suit with precision. The immaculate metallic chrome-like paintwork gives his armor an authentic die-cast appearance while preserving maximum plastic articulation.
Designed for high-impact posing, the figure includes a real soft-goods fabric cape featuring internal poseable wires for dramatic flight stances. Packed with accessories, Steel comes equipped with three distinct head sculpts (including angry and shouting expressions), his massive signature steel sledgehammer, dynamic translucent energy effect attachments, and an articulated clear MAFEX display stand.
