Countdown to BvS: 5 Statues before Batman v. Superman

We're 5 days away from the most awaited comicbook movie in the history of the world! As we prepare for the movie premiere of Batman v. Superman, lets look back at some statues that will prepare us for the movie.

5. Superman vs Batman Diorama by Halimaw Sculptures!

This statue is a direct manifestation of Jim Lee's iconic Batman 612. Halimaw Sculptures is an independent kit maker who consistently comes up with top-notch, high quality renditions of our favorite comicbook characters.


Whats cool about this statue is that both Superman's eyes and Batman's kryptonite ring lights up when turned on. As most Batman fans will turn this down, we can never deny the fact that this statue is well-sculpt. The details on this thing is amazing! Halimaw Sculptures is indeed one of the bests at what they do.

4. DC Collectibles Jim Lee Batman and Superman statues

Based from one of the most iconic Jim Lee covers, these statues is a rare find! Its a bit off scale (1/7) which means that its hard to pair with any of the standard statues, but this two will make a great table top.


This statue is designed by Jim Lee and sculpted by Tim Bruckner. Just a fun fact: This is Jim Lee's first statue design. Its original SRP was $195 back in 2003. A few years later DC Collectibles released a much smaller version of these bad boys. They also used different materials for he mini version--porcelain with metalic paints.

3. Kotobukiya: DC Comics

Kotobukiya has manufactured statues that are somewhat affordable to the public. Although their prices are considerably cheaper, the quality of these statues are better than some DC Collectibles. These statues stand nearly 30 inches.


These statues come with their respective logo bases. These statues are fun to display. They're not that big but the details on these statues are amazing. Plus, the advantage of these statues is that you can easily put them anywhere.

2. DC Collectibles: The Dark Knight Returns Superman vs Batman

This statue is based on the epic clash between Batman and Superman. Many consider this as the greatest showdown in the history of comicbooks. Considering that its written by Frank Miller, are we suppose to doubt the significance of this battle?

This statue is sculpted by Derek Miller. It stands 11" in height and weighs at about 12 pounds. This glorious 1/6 scale statue is a must for the fans of The Dark Knight Returns. Ow and if that not enough for you to buy it, look at this special appearance by...
Yup! Thats Carrie Kelley alright! Hiding under Superman and the Big Blue doesn't even know it!

1. Sideshow Collectibles: Batman Premium Format, Superman Premium Format, and Wonder Woman Premium Format

Well, to no surprise, SSC is still at the top of the food chain (wait until Prime 1 releases their BvS line). These supreme statues are still one of the statues that most collectors go for. The anatomy together with its dynamic poses makes SSC something worth collecting. The details on these statues are good (not great because we've seen what Prime 1 can do) as well.



These 1/4 scale statues are best displayed together. Either piece on its own is already amazing, however, nothing will ever beat an exhibit with these three together.

HONORABLE MENTION:

DC Collectibles Batman/Superman Bookends

World's Finest bookends! These statues are great in complimenting your comicbook collection! Besides, Batman and Superman here can change positions. You can take them off and use the walls as bookends while you can use Batman and Superman as a great table top.


Prime 1 BvS line

These 1/2 scale statues are still in production.  They have already released some previews for these statues and my God! They're amazing as F! Every detail on the actors' faces are on point! With a limited run of 1000 pieces per statue, this is the grail that every collector will go for. Run to your nearest Maxi Collector stores or at DK Collectibles to Pre-order this beauty! Ow wait, before you do, make sure that your bank account has at least P110,000 in it.
