Darkseid Statue Unveiled By Prime 1 Studio

The biggest bad guy in the DC Universe is set to conquer your shelf of collectibles.

Prime 1 Studio has revealed new images of its upcoming Darkseid statue, based on Jim Lee's design for the ruler of Apokolips that debuted in the pages of Justice League in the New 52.

Here's the official description of the Darkseid figure from the Sideshow Collectibles website:

"The gods don't give a damn about us."

Developed and manufactured in partnership with Prime 1 Studio, we are proud to present Darkseid from Justice League New 52. Darkseid is the ruler of Apokolips and Darkseid's Elite and was a major player in the cosmic war that was the Final Crisis. Unto the hell that is Apokolips came Darkseid, pure hatred personified, a merciless tyrant who demanded unwavering devotion and abject fear from all his subjects. A being of unparalleled strength, Darkseid nevertheless preferred not to sully his gloves with combat unless provoked to action. His eyes emitted the formidable Omega Sanction, ray beams that could disintegrate, teleport, or resurrect depending on the dread lord's wishes. His sole mission in life was to find and gain control over the Anti-Life Equation which would give him the means to usurp all free will in the sentient universe. DC Comics fans, don't miss your chance to add Darkseid to your Justice League New 52 collection!

The Prime 1 Studio dark side stands approximately 32 inches tall and comes with an alternate portrait, plus an additional exclusive portrait if ordered from the Sideshow Collectibles store.

The Darkseid statue is priced at $1,250 and is available to pre-order now. The statue is expected to ship between July and September of 2018.
