The company has done classic TV, golden age Batman, and bronze age DC. I'm glad to see them move on to something with broader appeal with their own style.

There is more to DC yet only Iron Studios seems to be able to to break into it. Tweeterhead showed promise with Starfire and Supergirl but appears to be changing back to the norm of most rehashing the multitude of continuously sculpted characters. Original never before versions or characters was what got me excited but it has apparently been abandoned. But good luck to them making the umteenth Batman or Superman.


I can't even say that I wouldn't buy one if it was awesome.

But is that actually surprising when Iron Studios does 1/10? They cost half what a TH 1/6 does, so of course they can do more.

But even in that line they haven't broken much comic ground beyond classic Deathstroke, Penguin, and Plastic Man. Maybe Balent Catwoman if you discount the small ES Sideshow variant?

Everything else has been done at least once by TH, Sideshow, XM, or Prime 1, just not all in the same place. Usually multiple times.

Iron Studios has that awesome JLA vs Darkseid but I personally dont like the paint apps and a pose or two. But for the most part it incredible and at 1/6scale. They've also done Plastic Man, Shazam with Billy Batson, Hawkman, the best Aquaman ever,Powergirl, the best Deathstroke ever, looks like George Perez in 3d, the Flash with an incredible use of translucent and the number of X-Men has never been done before. I prefer smaller scale with incredible details, but I would die for that Tweeterhead Perez Zatanna because from the concept art Chad posted last year I think it would be awesome.

I don't blame them for repeating some of the characters if that's what sells. There are collectors that come in leave the hobby all the time, and some people that just want one good statue of a favorite character. I have about all the Superman and Batman statues I'm ever going to need, and then some, so I doubt I bite. I just hope they also continue with next tier characters that I don't have.

Never owned a Superman statue before. This one could be worthy.

That's how I felt about the first supes TH did. Yes this superman is fabulous in it's regally superior body language.
