About James Gunn’s Superman and Spin Master – Which Product Will Be the Moneymaker?

Spin Master is on top with the release of two toys. They are intended for youths to enjoy playing with for adults who are simply kids at heart, these releases do not reveal what this upcoming film is about. When I saw the word kaiju, I immediately thought of the Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong sequel comic rather than the movie. There is most likely a quick scene regarding some giant sized monster in the film, but it’ll be quick. And for the latter, I was nor surprised at the focus on the Supes pet. I’m excited about the film and look forward to what this auteur has planned to restart the DC cinematic universe.

My only editorial question regarding merchandising it concerns what toys will come out next? I’m hoping for a wave two release of movie related collectables. That is, I’m hoping for Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Metamorpho and Supergirl to get immortalized into an action figure. It’s safe to say Lex Luthor will happen. To see him wear his iconic purple-green battle armour is a must. And Metamorpho is a no-brainer.

The products now available in stores (and Amazon USA) are:
