Statue maker Kotobukiya has spent plenty of time in the New 52 era of DC Comics, but now they are starting to move forward into the present, the much-celebrated Rebirth era. That includes the shining pinnacle that is Superman, and now Koto is bringing the character to their ARTFX+ statue series.
The DC icon is in 1/10 scale, and stands in a classic superhero pose, ready to take on anything that comes his way. While the pose is classic the costume is based on the newest version, with mostly blue broken up by a select few red accents, mostly residing in the belt. As it stands, this one of the bulkier versions of the character, perhaps too much so. He's built like a freight train here, and will probably dwarf any Batman figure that gets released in the future. That, of course, is subjective, so this might be just the Superman collectible you've been looking for. You can pre-order the statue from Koto's official site for $64.99, where it will release sometime this October.
You can view more images of the statue in the gallery. Superman will next appear in Justice League, where the team forms around his passing in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. You can view the official synopsis below.
In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder, from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg), Ciarán Hinds (Steppenwolf), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), J.K. Simmons (Commissioner Gordon), Amber Heard (Mera), Kiersey Clemons (Iris West) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor).
DC and Warner Bros. have a full slate ahead, with Teen Titans: The Judas Contract coming first on April 4, 2017. After that it's time for Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017, followed by Justice League on November 17, 2017. The Batman is expected sometime in 2018, with The Flash debuting on March 23, 2018. Aquaman is set for October 5, 2018, and Nightwing's solo feature is due sometime in 2019.
