For a solo piece, 1/6 Superman for Tomorrow statue by Kotobukiya.

For a diorama then the Superman VS Darkseid statue by DC Direct/Collectibles.

Agreed with the two above, the Kotobukiya ArtFX 'Superman: For Tomorrow' is one of the best available on the market. Would say it's the defining, Superman statue in that scale.

If you're looking for a cheap statue from DC Collectibles though, the metallic 'Man of Steel' line offers plenty of choices from different artists. Opinions on those pieces depend on how much you like the individual artist's style. Personally, the Bruce Timm one is my favourite.

In my opinion there are two. The original Bowen Superman and the Superman Forever statue.

I'd go with the Alex Ross-style Superman Forever and the Jim Lee-style Superman: For Tomorrow statues.

Where would you guys place the DC direct jim lee superman? I was eyeing that one but wondering if it was worth the price. How does it compare to the kotobukiya superman for tomorrow? Price difference is about $100. Cheers.

The original is still the best: Bowen Superman statue by Graphitti Designs, 1993 (Sienfeld Superman Statue)

I really like the Kotobukiya 1/6 scale version based on Jim Lee artwork.
