Feast your eyes on these glorious statues of Darkseid and Superman from Zack Snyder’s Justice League
With the euphoria of Zack Snyder’s Justice League finally easing. And fan appetite for more Snyderverse content at an all-time high; the timing couldn’t be better for two new statues to be unveiled. And standing by to blow our little minds is the team from Weta Workshop. The special effects experts have shared our first look at their new Darkseid and Black Suit Superman statues.
So slip into your super suit and get ready to satisfy that Snyderverse appetite. But be warned, they’re gonna cost you!
DARKSEID
The Ruler of Apokolips was completely eradicated from Joss Whedon’s cut of the film. But in The Snyder Cut, the DC supervillain has been restored to prominence and has a major influence over the four-hour bonanza.
The statue stands over 23″ tall and includes an Omega banner that can be displayed behind it. The banner stands over 39″ tall. Darkseid will include light-up LED eyes. The statue is limited to just 600 pieces and is priced at $1,399.99.

The Man Of Steel, on the other hand, has been rewarded with his iconic Black Suit. Again, the suit was missing from Whedon’s movie. But with Snyder back in the hot seat, the black suit has been restored – even though the suit was actually color corrected in post-production.
The Superman statue stands over 25″ tall and depicts the Man Of Steel hovering above a diorama base. The sculpt has been crafted from polystone, so there are no fabric elements to the suit. Included in the set are a standard portrait and a heat vision portrait. The latter features a light-up LED effect. The statue is limited to 1,000 pieces and will set you back $899.99.

I can think of no better way to celebrate the release of the Snyder Cut than with these sensational statues. Henry Cavill thrived in Snyder’s four-hour extended cut. And Darkseid made his DCEU debut with all the pomp and circumstance he deserved. Plus with the LED features offering illuminated eyes, these statues will rival anything Hot Toys can produce. And that’s saying something.
