Superman Homepage SDCC reporters Ivan Jaime and Luis Jaime have just sent in an exclusive photo from the DC Direct booth of the worldwide debut of a figure (it appears to be an action figure based on the stand) of Superman as he looked in his first appearance in Action Comics #1.Team Jaime sent photographs of other upcoming statues as well. There's a Superman statue based on the upcoming DVD "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" (alongside Batman), and another Superman and Batman pairing, statues based on Alex Ross designs. DC Direct continues its successful line of miniature busts with Superman seen here. And finally, there's a statue of the modern Supergirl.
