This year marks the 40th anniversary of Frank Miller's iconic comic series, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. In this classic story, the Man of Steel has become a covert enforcer for the government. When the Dark Knight comes out of retirement to clean up Gotham, a clash between these two titans becomes inevitable. Hot Toys is thrilled to present the Superman Sixth Scale Collectible Figure based on his imposing appearance in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
The sixth scale figure features two newly developed head sculpts that bring the character to life. The first captures his stoic, authoritative expression, while the second features a battle-damaged, clenched-teeth expression with blood paint application. Taking realism to the next level, both head sculpts are equipped with separate rolling eyeballs and a specially applied UV luminous reflective effect, allowing collectors to recreate Superman’s menacing heat vision under UV light.
Meticulously crafted to capture the distinct, bulky art style of the comic series, this figure stands approximately 34cm tall, featuring a newly developed muscular body that perfectly portrays Superman’s massive physique. The costume is expertly tailored, featuring a blue elastic fabric material suit that accentuates the muscular form, complete with the iconic red and yellow colored Superman symbol on the chest, a yellow colored belt, and a bendable wire embedded red cape embossed with the yellow Superman symbol for dynamic flying poses. To recreate the brutal combat and dynamic flight scenes from the comic, the figure is equipped with six newly developed interchangeable hands, such as fists, claw gesture hands, and flying gesture hands. Enhancing the display possibilities, the figure also comes with key weaponry from the comic series, including a Kryptonite arrow and a damaged sonic gun. The figure is completed with a specially designed display stand featuring the comic series logo.
