We bought it for our 5 year old, for Christmas. He loves it. It's key feature that I think is neat is that the cape is fabric, not high-gloss molded plastic that remains eternally stiff. Interestingly, the resemblance to the movie actors (the new guy and Christopher Reeve) isn't there; so the action figure has character of his own. The heat vision eyes are BRIGHT; that part is cool for the kid in all of us.
Here's another important feature that might make this the better choice of the available versions: the heat vision model is fully posable. We almost bought the fly-by model (superman flying pose) because that's what our son liked most about S-Man besides the eyes. But this one can easily pose in the patented Superman launch pose like the flying version. Really neat toy all in all.
