I'm going to assume that the Graphitti Designs statues are indeed the earliest DC statues.

I was wondering if anyone knows what the first DC statue or bust is?
Back in the early 1990s, the collectibles division didn't even call itself DC Direct. The info on the product box simply states that the statue was made for DC Comics.
This is what I've found:
1991 Sandman by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1996. A bronze version was released in 1998.
1992 Batman by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1996. A bronze version was released in 1996.
1992 Lobo by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1997.
1993 Death by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1997.
1993 Superman by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1998.
1994 Tim Drake Robin by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1997.
1994 Sandman Arabian Nights by Randy Bowen. A mini version was released in 1998.
