Original 1939/1940 Ideal Novelty Jointed Wood Composition Superman Doll Figure. It is 13 tall. As you can see in the photos, Superman has some condition issues – may make for a nice restoration project. The wooden torso, legs, arms and hands are actually in pretty decent condition. The inner strings that bind it together have elasticity and are keeping the toy pretty tight. Face and feet have been painted. One of the feet appear to be a remake (out of wood), while the other foot appears to be original (I see some of what appears to be the original red paint peeking through). There is chipping of the paint/composition on Superman’s back as is apparent in the photo’s (a replacement cape would cover this eyesore). Paint missing on his chest. Don’t know if anything can be done to restore the face – might be as simple as removing the brown paint (paint has a kind of chalky feel to it – may be easy to remove – I have not tried it). One good thing is that the “S” decal on the front is mostly there. Some of the writing on his belt also remains. There is no cape. Here’s your chance to own one of the most iconic Superman toys at a bargain price. Please contact me with questions. The item “1940 Ideal SUPERMAN Jointed Wood Composition 13 Doll Figure!

It’s also said to be the first superhero doll too. From the photos you can certainly see that it is far from perfect , however it is complete and could possibly make for a nice restoration candidate. The wooden torso and limbs are actually in decent condition and look well for their age. The waist belt label has flaked a bit but you can see the Ideal Novelty marking. The inner strings that bind it together appear to be loose but do have elasticity. I don’t feel they are in any danger of breaking. The doll lays nice and displays well despite the loosened strings. It’s possible to tighten if you have the skills. The composition is flaked away and cracked in a multitude of places throughout the upper body and moveable head. In addition to color loss on the chest and back, the “S” decal has wore off completely. There is no cape if there was one when I found this. Low grade, but affordable. This is a chance to obtain some iconic toy history. The item “1940 Ideal Novelty Jointed Wood Composition 13 Superman Doll Figure” is in sale since Friday, October 14, 2016.
