Sideshow Collectibles has announced the upcoming release of their New 52 Superman Polystone Statue.
“But you can take it, can’t ya, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose, and show you how powerful I really am.”
Developed in partnership with Prime 1 Studio, Sideshow presents Superman from Justice League New 52. Kal-El was sent as a baby to Earth from the dying planet Krypton. Growing up as Clark Kent, he devoted his life to helping others with the abilities he developed from Earth’s sun. Superman is the most powerful being on planet Earth. Raised with high moral ideals, he uses his incredible strength, speed, flight and various other superpowers to fight evil and protect the innocent. This founding member of the Justice League is crafted in 1/4 scale with great attention to detail and features high-quality translucent resin for a lifelike skin effect.

Scheduled to arrive around August-October 2017, you can pre-order your Superman Polystone Statue from ShowshowToy.com now!
I don’t understand why they couldn’t just straighten the New 52 character out. As I recall when the New 52 started it was to focus on a younger Superman that would mature and develop into the Man of Steel we all know. I was looking forward to that whole love triangle type dynamic between Superman Clark and Lois that eventually leads to a relationship. I was looking forward to re-building the dynamics between Superman and his rogue gallery. I think it was a missed opportunity and don’t like how they just went down this rabbit hole they couldn’t get out… Read more »
Because nearly no one liked that Superman. He lost most of his current fan base and the newcomers weren’t enough to replace what they lost.

There was potential there – sadly,… Read more »

Nice statue! The New 52 costume looks nice in 3D.
The shape and lines of the New52 boots actually look a lot better IMO in some cosplays I’ve seen than on the page because it’s basically a red leather boot with detailing as opposed to something rendered as shinny and armored.
