Medicom Toy is officially bringing back the Man of Steel under their celebrated comic-accurate line, but with a major twist. The highly anticipated MAFEX Hush Superman 1.5 is officially going up for pre-order later this morning, giving fans who missed out on the initial, highly sought-after releases a definitive chance to add this masterpiece to their shelves.

When the original MAFEX No. 117 Superman dropped, it instantly became legendary within the collecting community. Based on the iconic artwork of Jim Lee from the definitive Batman: Hush storyline, it was widely praised as one of the greatest comic-style Superman figures ever produced. However, secondary market prices skyrocketed quickly, leaving many fans empty-handed. This new 1.5 variation updates the classic figure, addressing minor engineering refinements to give fans the ultimate version of the Last Son of Krypton.
What Makes the 1.5 Version Special?
The Batman: Hush era gave fans some of the most enduring visual interpretations of the DC Universe, and Medicom captured Jim Lee’s dynamic pencil work beautifully. The MAFEX Hush Superman 1.5 stands at roughly 6.3 inches tall, scaling perfectly into the 1/12 scale ecosystem.
This upgraded package keeps everything that made the original figure spectacular while ensuring tighter quality control, smoother articulation joints, and pristine paint applications to truly make the bright blues and vivid reds pop. The figure retains its hallmark feature: a premium, soft-goods fabric cape integrated with a poseable internal wire. This allows fans to sculpt dramatic, wind-swept flying poses or stoic, gravity-defying stances that look like they leaped straight off a comic book page.
Accessories Fit for a Hero
Medicom is not skimping on the loadout for this release. The MAFEX Hush Superman 1.5 comes packed with a premium selection of accessories meant to recreate his most famous scenes from the comic arc:
- Alternate Head Sculpts: Multiple portraits.
- Interchangeable Hands: A diverse array of hands, including flying palms, relaxed posing hands, and tight fists.
Pre-Order Details and Availability
History tells us that MAFEX DC Comics releases do not stay available for long. This figure is expected to go live at major domestic and import retailers later this morning. Domestic retailers like BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth, along with premium import outlets, will be opening their queues shortly. Given how quickly the previous reissues disappeared into private collections, securing your pre-order early today is highly recommended to avoid secondary-market markups later.
