While teased last week the official news of Sideshow adding Superman to their 1:6th scale line of DC figures was posted yesterday on their official blog:
Up, up, and away!”
At last, the most famous and enduring superhero from the DC Universe has landed! Sideshow is proud to present the Superman Sixth Scale Figure.
Inspired by over 75 years of comic book legacy, Superman takes flight wearing his iconic red and blue costume, exquisitely tailored with unmistakable S-shield emblazoned across the chest. With the aid of an adjustable themed base, pose the Man of Steel in midair, and complete the look with a freeflowing or poseable fabric cape.
Interchangeable hands and portrait expressions perfectly capture the good-natured and serious sides of the hero’s personality, as well as his powerful heat vision. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail on a fully articulated muscular body design, Superman is ready to protect the city of Metropolis, and fight the never-ending battle for truth and justice.
Sideshow Exclusive
The Sideshow Exclusive edition includes an additional swap out hand clutching the head of the cyborg supervillain, Metallo (shown left and below).
