Prime 1 Studio: DC Comics - Darkseid 1:4 Scale Statue (New 52 Version)

[equi-nox76]

This will blow Sideshows Darkseid out of the water.

I'm sure this one will be much more massive and in scale with SSC's Superman. Look at the size comparison pic.

[BurningRage]

It's looks good but no interest in N52 costumes especially Darkseid's.

[testsubject25]

Absolutely nuts!

Yeah I like the original costume, but didn't care for the SS take on it.

[Matches Malone]

Absolutely nuts!

Yeah I like the original costume, but didn't care for the SS take on it.

The nice thing is that New 52 Darkside is not a huge departure from the original.

[testsubject25]

Yeah, I'm totally fine with it! It looks like a modern update to the original.

[generalzodlives]

I much prefer this

I just don't like Darkseid wearing armor. I am looking forward to the full reveal with paint though.

[SDguy]

I was on the fence about the N52 superman, but if this looks good too, they will both be mine!

[Thor57]

I prefer the classic design too. The only New 52 designs I really even like are Deathstroke and Wonder Woman.

[SONICobra]

darkseid is one of the few characters I much prefer the classic costume for, him and superman pretty much

[Hologram]

Wow..

1/4 scale
Similar theme for the base to be displayed together but not joinable like TMNT.
Darkseid is already big by itself.

That looks good, Darkseid will be a beast judging from this pic.

I honestly do prefer the classic look as well, I was a bit disappointed when I saw Sideshows take (also because he has no fabric).

[actionjackson83]

Light up eyes!

[SDguy]

Wow..

Holy crap! Ugh, need a room addition on my place :doh!:

[ambasah]

sigh. I think I will be selling my SS one for cost if anyone is interested. I much prefer a classic look, but there is no contest between these two.

[SONICobra]

I wonder if theyre going with the "build a diorama" theme for this line or if its just these two

[Thor57]

Looks good but not interested now. If it's truly that big, it's to big for me. I like Thanos and Darkseid to be the same size. This thing will dwarf every 1/4 in my collection.

[SDguy]

Hoping it isn't so huge as the pic... that would be massive.

that's kind of where I stand, I really like the size of the darkseid pf. hes a big dude, but not hulk huge - I realize that's some folks' ideal size for this guy but I just really dig that pf. the details on this look really impressive though, im very curious what price these 1/4 scale pieces ring in at... :thinking:

[Ryanbusts]

Stop trying to talk yourself out of this. You know you want it. ;)

[FJC]

No New52 for me. I'll stick with SSC's classic PF.

[Hellsbells51]

Not into the New52 design, but I'll keep an eye on this. I know Prime 1 will likely get the scale right, but it's about getting over the New52 design.

[Comicbookguy]

Wow this thing looks miles better than the ss version imo from pose, fully sculpted to size. Cannot wait to see this guy. To me the new 52 designs looks the same as the classics overall. I can't really tell the differences between any of them. These prime 1 marvels is giving xm a run for the top statues. Prime 1 is nothing but super details, great qc, and now amazing licenses and scales. Very exciting! Imagine some 1/3 marvels in the future.

[Thor57]

Looking at that pic of the hand in someone else's hand, he's gonna be a big one.

[OrangeCrush]

Wow..

That looks pretty amazing. More and more Prime 1's DC line is looking pretty bad a*s.

I cant believe I am agreeing with CBG...but he is right. Darkseid and most of the New 52 design still capture the essence of their style. Darkseid has been modernized, no more skirt and hooker boots ;)

I understand that we are most familiar with the past designs as we grew up with that and that is why we will always have a nostalgic connection with them. No more underwear heroes. Doesnt mean I wouldnt mind owning the classics as well...Superman classic outfit is always going to be #1. but IMO i dont mind the updates. Darkseid looks like a beast. I'm curious to see how Snyder will depict him in the movies.

[supermetroid]

Looks good but not interested now. If it's truly that big, it's to big for me. I like Thanos and Darkseid to be the same size. This thing will dwarf every 1/4 in my collection.

Yeah, he's going to be bigger than SS Galactus lol.

[jpuli28]

Ill be damn! Is the premise of this 1/4 line N52 JL only?

[jpuli28]

DC collectibles size comparison

[AC_808]

Will need to keep track of this piece. Looks promising so far, but I'll have to see the full reveal to make a judgement call.

[joy_division]

Are people incapable of making a Kirby Darkseid?!

[Tacheyon]

Are people incapable of making a Kirby Darkseid?!

Well I think Sideshow had the license for the Classic looks and Prime1 has the license for all the New-52 looks.

But yeah SS really dropped the ball IMO on their rendition.

[ambasah]

it has everything going for it...except being the darkseid I know. sigh.

[NinNin]

Looking forward to seeing this beast in totality. I'm not opposed to his new 52 more armored look at all. I actually prefer more modern takes on a lot (not all) of these characters designs. For me I don't necessarily need the classic renditions. I would gladly only have XM's Batman and this Darksied representing these characters in my collection.

[SolidLiquidFox]

I hate New 52. This is an easy pass.

[SONICobra]

This thing looked huge in the teaser shots, me thinks this will be quite expensive

I love darkseid... but the new 52 look. Old school darkseid is best darkseid.

[loricstone]

I like the size of this one though. This guy is huge.

[VS1976]

Looks kind of small...pass

Glad I have the SS one, on PO...just not into 52 looks at all...But, the size is nice, thou

He's 31" inches. For reference Superman is 27".

[testsubject25]

I love this. Grew up on old school Darkseid, but this is just sweet as hell to me.

[HBK83]

I wonder if they could do an alternate as Classic?
Pose is fine with me

[generalzodlives]

I like the size, the pose, and the head sculpt, but I'm not a fan of his New 52 design so it's a pass for me. If this were his classic design I probably would have cancelled the Sideshow one.

[candyrocket786]

I like it.

Makes me wonder what a P1 Juggernaut piece would look like.

[Agent23]

Looks great. I like it more than the SS one. Unfortunately it'll prolly cost $1,000

[testsubject25]

I was thinking more like 1300. He's HUGE
Granted he's only 1:4, but still.

[sparda]

He's the size of a 1:3, but shouldn't be any more complex the Batman from the AK series. My guess is 899$

[pokritz17]

this one is gonna hurt the wallet for sure...considering superman/gl are 700-750 already...i'm thinking 4 figures for sure

[FJC]

I'm guessing $1200, just like the Thanos MAQ.

[Doctor Doom]

I'm in for this one too....looks sick!

[testsubject25]

Yeah definitely getting this. Convinced me to PO Superman as well. Those two are going to look outstanding together.

[SONICobra]

i wish i could swing this, the more i look at it the more i like it but no doubt this is gonna be a pricey fella

[dafadcariad]

I'm not seeing how this one is going to be as expensive as some people are claiming. True, it's a larger size 1:4 however it's also a simple base. I wouldn't be shocked if this is 1k due to the price increases as of late however I just don't see him being more expensive than that.

[sparda]

Agreed, considering the pricepoint of the AK 1/3 series, as well as guts and other pieces, I'm guessing around 950$. Unless SSC decides to ad another 50$, as they've been doing lately...

[sparda]

Anyone who thinks this might get WL'ed btw?

[testsubject25]

I need some deets! :laugh:

Sticking by my 1300, and I guess we will know soon enough. :)

[sparda]

I'm saying 1010$ :p If you look at a piece as Batman Flashpoint, which has a lot more switch outs, is larger and equally limited in ES, I really can't see this going for 1000+ tbh.

[testsubject25]

This is like the showcase showdown on The Price is Right! :laugh:

[Vince_be]

P1 Venom Dark Origin is 32 inches tall, has almost the size of a 1/3 , 3 heads and seems more complex than Darkseid for 899 USD so i don't see how P¨1 can justify an higher price than that

The P1 Venom is 32 inches with the tendrils. This Darkseid is that tall with pure mass. He actually looks like he has more mass than most of P1's 1/3 scale figures other than maybe Croc and Bane.

[FastballSpecial]

I'm going to ask a question. Those that hate the new 52 whats wrong with the classic sideshow version? i mean is Darkseid just not as popular as I think he should be?

I think the SS version is undersized. Yes the Classic Darkseid isn't as tall or wide as New 52 but IMO the classic should at least look more Imposing.

[danteipp]

I think the SS version is undersized. Yes the Classic Darkseid isn't as tall or wide as New 52 but IMO the classic should at least look more Imposing.

Agreed. I know Darkseid varies in size and keeps getting bigger and bigger, but he was just too small for the display I envisioned. Especially when compared to the oversized SS Batman. I think he was also a bit too small compared to the Superman. This is the stature I envisioned for Darkseid in my display.

[testsubject25]

The SS Darkseid beside the SS Superman is crazy silly looking with the size.

[Commander0Zero]

Well this thing is a beast so size is no issue here. But I have Thanos on Throne on pre-order and it just killed me to pass on the Bane EX (still not sure i made the right decision on that). I gotta pass especially at that price.

[danteipp]

Well this thing is a beast so size is no issue here. But I have Thanos on Throne on pre-order and it just killed me to pass on the Bane EX (still not sure i made the right decision on that). I gotta pass especially at that price.

Well, I caved and ordered Darkseid. Even though it is a bit more than I was hoping to spend, I am weak, lol. I am probably in for all of the Justice League in this line other than the Superman, because I plan on displaying a custom Supes instead. I really like most of the N52 costumes but not necessarily Superman's armor and collar.

I am with you on Bane. I also passed on Bane, the new Deadpool and Groot and Rocket, because I knew I had to have Thanos and Darkseid in my collection. Bane was probably the hardest for me to pass on, but at these prices you have to focus on the characters that you really love.

Plus display space is at a premium and I will pair off the two SS Batmans with the Joker and Killer Croc and hold out hope that a Two-Face, Scarecrow and/or Penguin will be made some day. Bane is a great looking sculpt but I just don't care about the character as much as some of the old-school Bat villains.

[Cyber Warrior]

Ordered the second it went up for sale.

I have Thanos on pre-order and really wanted to add Darkseid as well to my setup. The PF Darkseid I think would look to small next to the Thanos on throne. Also the texture/detail/paint on the Prime Darkseid will match better with Thanos.

Here's a quick size comparison, all statues are tilted forward but each statue is set to scale. The Prime Darkseid is humongeuous.. he's gonna be way bulkier then Thanos but in my opinion will look better compared to the Darkseid PF which will look to small. Going by their statistics Darkseid is about 2 feet taller then Thanos. So comparing Thanos on Throne and Prime Darkseid, if Thanos were standing I think its pretty close in height to where they should be at.. its just Darkseid will be waaay bulkier. But comparing Thanos to the SS Darkseid, if Thanos were standing he would too tall in comparison and not accurate.

If I remember correctly Thanos should be 6' 7" and Darkseid is 8' 9".

Again this is all rough estimates but the Prime Darkseid base should be around 9" ..statue is 32" ..which makes him 23" tall, slightly slouched over.
Thanos is 21" sitting, theres really no base height, so Im estimating if he stood up he'd be another 3-4" taller.. putting him around 25" tall.
Prime Darkseid is hunched over so add some height and he should be roughly 2 feet taller then Thanos, right where he should be. Just a LOT bulkier. :) But Darkseid does have the power to grow so all is good depending how you look at it.

And as for the Darkseid PF, base looks roughly 6" ..statue is 26", putting Darkseid standing at the same height as Thanos sitting ...doesnt work.

http://i.imgur.com/O30ISwS.jpg

My main statue room is filled up so I was planning on adding a few pieces to the bedroom, if the wife doesnt kill me :wink2: ..so having Darkseid at one end and Thanos on the other but higher up, something like this...

Thinking about setting up a petition asking to add omega beams to the EX. Who knows, they just might do it... Anyone who'd sign it?

[loricstone]

There's going to soon be three huge Darkseids in the market place. XM don't forget is doing a Ginormous Darkseid, except it's part of a 1/6 Diorama.

More choices for everyone...that is definitely the one benefit of having multiple companies doing same licenses. IMO...the size of this Darkseid is how big SS Darkseid should have been.

[SONICobra]

ORDERED... now all i want is a reverse flash and my dc villains are complete

[Cyber Warrior]

Thinking about setting up a petition asking to add omega beams to the EX. Who knows, they just might do it... Anyone who'd sign it?

Kind of how SS did the Superman PF eyes? Might be tricky with how delicate it would be ...they would have to be longer than how Supermans beams are so they could add the effect of the diagonal in the beam.

I'd be interested if it's doable.. don't really care too much for the ex head now.

[sparda]

An even better alternative might be a switch out arm with a mother box. Also very fitting! (was suggested to me by a member of the p& page).

[Comicbookguy]

The ss darksied is a joke in scale. Way too small and not menacing looking next to the ss D.C. Statues. He's just way too small. Same with the ss hulks, venom, bane, death stroking guy, etc all just too small. This darksied looks as good as it can get. The p1 scales are perfection in scale with the 1/4 statues. All the above mentioned statues like hulk, bane, gator guy, venom should be close to this in size to match the comics and cartoon tv shows. P1 nailed the venom scale to perfection too. So impressed by p1 scales. They understand what character sizes are. Thanks you p1. Please don't ever change! Now let's get a doomsday, man bat, the brown sculpey clay lava looking guy, in this scale for the 1/4 line.
Oh and I forgot to say it's a bit more than what I wanted to spend but ordered! This will destroy my child sized ss darksied.

[Iko Iko]

Love the size of this statue. Makes Thanos look tiny!

Yes, when you compare the two, this really looks to me like the best bang for the price.

[Comicbookguy]

Po already now I need a job at second Panda Express or Panera bread to try to pay some of my po off. I'm serious and not joking. These po's are taking a toll on my payments being late and my car getting put off with overdue brakes, late oil change and still
Need new tires. My current tires are bald to the bone with meta lines starting to show. Collecting is so stressful now with so many good choices. This darksied is a life or death and a must own.

[testsubject25]

I think bald tires are more life and death, but whatever floats your boat!

Especially if you missed the Thanos EX. You could spend the same $1200 and get a 400 edition size EX Darkseid OR a 2000 or 2500 edition size (just a guess) regular Thanos.

And don't get me wrong - I'm not bashing the beauty of the Thanos statue. I'm just throwing the comparison out there.

[Ryanbusts]

Really like it and will be ordering. EX is not a must imo.
I wish the ex was a more classic body and head swap out. Go all the way.

[newe82]

Ordered the second it went up for sale.

I have Thanos on pre-order and really wanted to add Darkseid as well to my setup. The PF Darkseid I think would look to small next to the Thanos on throne. Also the texture/detail/paint on the Prime Darkseid will match better with Thanos.

Here's a quick size comparison, all statues are tilted forward but each statue is set to scale. The Prime Darkseid is humongeuous.. he's gonna be way bulkier then Thanos but in my opinion will look better compared to the Darkseid PF which will look to small. Going by their statistics Darkseid is about 2 feet taller then Thanos. So comparing Thanos on Throne and Prime Darkseid, if Thanos were standing I think its pretty close in height to where they should be at.. its just Darkseid will be waaay bulkier. But comparing Thanos to the SS Darkseid, if Thanos were standing he would too tall in comparison and not accurate.

If I remember correctly Thanos should be 6' 7" and Darkseid is 8' 9".

Again this is all rough estimates but the Prime Darkseid base should be around 9" ..statue is 32" ..which makes him 23" tall, slightly slouched over.
Thanos is 21" sitting, theres really no base height, so Im estimating if he stood up he'd be another 3-4" taller.. putting him around 25" tall.
Prime Darkseid is hunched over so add some height and he should be roughly 2 feet taller then Thanos, right where he should be. Just a LOT bulkier. :) But Darkseid does have the power to grow so all is good depending how you look at it.

And as for the Darkseid PF, base looks roughly 6" ..statue is 26", putting Darkseid standing at the same height as Thanos sitting ...doesnt work.

My main statue room is filled up so I was planning on adding a few pieces to the bedroom, if the wife doesnt kill me :wink2: ..so having Darkseid at one end and Thanos on the other but higher up, something like this...

I think a lot of people will be disappointed in the size of Thanos. It is not small but on a throne it is only 21 inches. Initial pictures made the Thanos look huge, but seeing it next to this puts it in perspective.

I am going to politely disagree. I believe the prototype exceeded expectations. If the production pieces are a good representation, there's going to be some happy collectors. Not being as big as Darkseid (which he's not supposed to be) does not diminish it.

[COI]

Good lord, this is a beast of a statue and I really like the EX head.

I just hate that New 52 costume, which has nothing to do with Prime 1 of course. At that price, maybe I dodged a bullet.

Amazing work. Congrats to those of you who are fans of this version.

:iagree: they made thanos look way bigger than he really is. Anything on a throne is normally not as big as we may think. The throne itself will be huge. The character itself is decent here but not as big as we believe it to be. It's the same with xm mags.
As others mentioned I'm totally in shock how the ss thanos is the same price as the massive p1 darksied at double the size. SS prices has gotten to the point of being totally ridiculous. But saying that because of Harbottles work I still want it. Life is rough but as long as I get statues im hanging on dear life.

[SuperJ300]

This looks epic!!

[FastballSpecial]

ORDERED... now all i want is a reverse flash and my dc villains are complete

I've wanted a comic Zoom for years.

[risingstar]

Wow... that is a lot for a 1/4 scale statue, even for one this nice. I would have considered it at $699, maybe $799. Asking $1250 is kookoo money. These recent prices hikes have surpassed my cost VS enjoyment ratio. After shipping and taxes, this will cost well over 2k Canadian.

[actionjackson83]

Pass due to price. Is it a statue that would be worth the $1200 relative to the SS thanos? Yes because of size and quality but my days of $700+ PFs are over

[Y3E]

That's one hell of a statue, the size of a 1/3 piece. I would have ordered this even at the price if I liked the character, but I don't so easy pass. Congrats to those getting it.

I should clarify that people will be disappointed in the hieght. Throne statues are not very tall. It will be big in width and depth, but the depth (throne) will not be seen unless you have display with mirrors. First pictures made thanos look half scale. To me prime 1 offers much better value when talking $1k+ statues. Most are nearly three feet tall!

I remember when my Sideshow Andy Bergholtz Hulk arrived in the mail, I was overwhelmed by the height and bulk. It was just huge, and it is 20" tall. Now I am debating if a sitting Thanos that's 21.5" is big enough.

[Comicbookguy]

Thanos looks ok imo. It's the price that's way over the top. 1200.00 and shipping for a pf is crazy. This is still a normal size pf and not a huge pf like the p1 darksied. I love p1 so much for their 1/4 accurate scales like darksied and venom. They can't get any better. No other companies does scales for the big guys correct. Thanks p1! So happy for these correct scale sizes! I remembered saying the ss hulks, bane, venom etc are all too small. They needed to be at least the size of pcs 1/3 Akuma to looks accurate in 1/4 as the comics and cartoons. Even that it's not way bigger. It's a very good size to begin with which looks very good! If some says very oldie classics then it could pass with these smaller scales. But I don't think when ss makes these they were going for 50-60s artwork. Lol

[ChaFoShizzle]

I'd say the heights are pretty good because Thanos for the most part has been depicted around 6'8" give or take an inch. 20" in 1/4 scale equals out to 6'8" and Thanos is around that sitting so I'd say he's plenty big enough. I feel Darkseid varies a bit more height wise as he's always been fairly large, but in the new 52 era they made him absolutely monstrous (height wise). I know he can technically control his height and etc, but I'm just speaking of base height. So if we see how big he is in the new 52 I'd say this statue is pretty on the money.

That's almost too big for my liking. It more 1:3 then 1:4 scale. 6" makes such a difference. Glad I don't like 52 designs except for Wonder Woman and Harley quinn.

[SONICobra]

damn that puts things into perspective... I didn't have an issue with the pf size, I didn't like that he was overall a little short with the base though. I think this is perfect, he can now easily be the centerpiece of my villain display towering over everyone else as it should be

Amazing scale! No contest here. So bought! The way these villains should be in 1:4! Now give us the mud guy, man bat, comic bane, doomsday, in true scale 1:4!

I've enjoyed watching your progress and turn around on this piece. :laugh: :thumbs2:

[SONICobra]

Like i said complete 180, im glad i saw the light :laugh: :thumbs2:

part of it was honestly getting the pf in hand and being a little let down. the classic costume while I like it - I dunno seemed so plain in sculpture form in person. he didn't tower over other statues, the paint while decently applied seemed very bland, overall it just didn't have the presence I was looking for in a darkseid statue. this kind of addresses each of those issues plus its not as big as I originally thought based on the very first teaser and the ex makes the portrait I didn't like a non-issue

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Yeah this piece is awesome. And while yes the character has changed visually over the years, I feel like it isn't so drastic that something like this can't be the definite Darkseid piece.

[Comicbookguy]

this is a true beast of a statue for 1/4. Amazing! The more I see it the more I like it! Off course it's on po :) I blame p1 for more long work hours at the grocery store. Will see if I can pick up more shifts. I mean I only make like 15kto 20k ish a year at 40 hrs a week minus the huge taxes. This doesn't include daily expenses. I have a year to pay off This beastly cool thing :D this will be a hard working year for sure. Blood and sweat time. Now I don't mind getting yelled at by 5 different managers as long as I get p1 grey big stone monster guy.

[danteipp]

Wow, thanks for sharing the pic comparing the two statues! Size isn't everything most of the time, but that is the Darkseid I envisioned.

Definitely happy I waited for the P1 version. I almost won an eBay auction a couple months ago, just throwing a bid out there at the last minute, now I am relieved I didn't win and don't regret it in the least.

I will also add that because of these Prime 1 N52 statues, Spiderman 2099/Venom and the 1/3 Batman line, I am going to have to start selling some statues for space and to refocus my collection. I am just a big fan of almost everything Prime 1 is doing right now. I am excited, and my wallet is scared, to see what is coming next.

[Cyber Warrior]

Was just watching Justice League War and thinking this would have been a nice balance in his look, combination of new and classic. Either way I'm happy with the New 52, better details and the size of him is perfect.

I got my Darkseid PF EX just the other day and what a disappointment .... he is going back not worth the money

I prefer the classic version of this character. However the Modern New 52 version of Darkseid put out by Prime 1 l@@ks incredible!

The costume may not be as appealing to most but there is no denying that the detail and stature of this piece makeup for everything and then some .... wow factor all around

Darkseid EX was never sold out, it's been on waitlist all this time...I was on the list to get converted only a couple of weeks ago, which I declined

[Ryanbusts]

Now I know the price is high but I still cant believe the 400EX is still available. It's a beautiful piece. This and Freeze And DK Bats are their top 3 imo. Cannot get this fast enough.

And if you're like me I already have stuff on pre-order that is about to be paid. After SDCC announcements I'm sure there will be all kinds of stuff on the immediate horizon from Sideshow, PCS, Prime 1 and various others. My pre-ordering is done until post SDCC.

[Comicbookguy]

This is one of the most anticipated statues for me! The scale is true 1/4! Yes eat this SS! P1 knows scales for the modern times and what most would want as far as scale!

[FastballSpecial]

Wonder how deep and wide the base is. The only thing that keeps me from ordering is if he'll fit in a Besta.

[kalel-sonofel]

Besta? No way. Maybe Stuva. But I think we have to go with Pax.

The only given Info by Prime1 is:

Superman
Height: 68.2 cm Body: 51.8 cm Base: 58.8 cm

Darkseid
Height: 83.5 cm Width: 61.5 cm Depth: 51.5 cm

Green Lantern
Height: 57 cm Width: 28 cm Depth: 32 cm

[Comicbookguy]

Size matters in this case. No question.

[looch]

Can you imagine just how well this would have sold if it was 'Classic' Darkseid?

I also wish someone would tackle the Omega Beams...Im sure something amazing could be done

[Cyber Warrior]

So when do you think we'll get the rest of the measurements? Waiting to see what the width and depth is. I'm wondering if he'll fit in a Pax and if so which size Pax to buy.. they come in different widths. I have other statues coming in sooner and need to start setting up a new display case.

Also, does Prime 1 ever do early release dates? This is my first P1 piece.. rest of the collection is all SS PFs.

Im afraid he won't fit in my cabinet.. it's 47" H x 31"w x 17"D. The depth is what scares me since he's 20" ... I'm hoping I can angle him and he'll fit inside.. I really want to keep him in my collection ..I'll have to figure something out.

I had the volume off at work, they say 47" tall?

[Vendetta]

It's crazy seeing people next to the larger P1 pieces - it really puts into perspective how massive they are. Seeing it also makes me excited for Venom and human-form Zodd that I have preordered, as their dimensions are all roughly similar.

Don't think so, they'll just keep lowering the ES on new pieces, such as cyborg, which has an es of 350.

[Indomitus]

Man this guy is huge! Maybe he can be put up to replace those statues being pulled from government buildings by protesters in the US. Or maybe I'm confusing this guy instead putting up Woman Woman on a Horse as a lawn monument? Apokolips here we come! :drinking:

Yeah great piece, did a little unboxing for the guys add Radd Titan. You can find it on their Youtube page. Big, solid, good paint job. Very nicely done.

Now just to find a cabinet that can hold him :p

I just ordered mine a couple days ago. Mine is arriving tomorrow so I will take some pics for those that are on the fence with this piece. Right now on sideshow its low stock.

I was browsing the low stock classifieds otherwise known as Last Chance Items on Sideshow and saw this beast with 10% discount AND free shipping? Wow! I know this is expensive and should come with divorce papers but anyone interested in a new 52 collection or even a center piece Darkseid should take a look. I just randomly did a search on new 52 Darkseid or even Darkseid in general and not a lot to choose from. Interesting to see the future of this character if he makes his way into a future DC and or Justice League movie.
