Iron Studios Unveils 'Darkseid Unleashed' Art Scale Statue Inspired by DC Comics
Posted on July 15, 2026 by Neil Cole
Iron Studios has expanded its lineup of DC Comics collectibles with the introduction of the Darkseid Unleashed Art Scale 1:10 Statue, a premium-scale collectible depicting one of the publisher's most enduring and recognizable villains.
Inspired by Darkseid's classic comic book appearance, the statue presents the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips in a commanding pose befitting the powerful New God who has served as one of the Justice League's greatest adversaries for more than five decades. Intricate sculpting highlights the character's signature armored attire, weathered stone-like skin, and stern expression, while a detailed themed base reinforces the imposing presence that has made Darkseid one of DC's defining antagonists.
The hand-painted polystone collectible stands just over 10 inches tall and is part of Iron Studios' Art Scale 1:10 line, a series recognized for translating iconic comic book and pop culture characters into museum-quality display pieces. The statue emphasizes fine sculptural detail throughout its armor, musculature, and environmental base, capturing the immense physical power and commanding stature synonymous with the character's comic book legacy.
Darkseid, created by legendary writer and artist Jack Kirby, made his first appearance in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #134 in 1970 before becoming one of DC's most influential villains. As the iron-fisted ruler of Apokolips and a central figure in Kirby's Fourth World saga, the character has appeared across comics, animation, television, and film, remaining a cornerstone of DC storytelling for generations of fans.
The Darkseid Unleashed Art Scale 1:10 Statue is currently available for pre-order through Sideshow with a suggested retail price of US$449.99. Scheduled for release between April and June 2027, the collectible joins Iron Studios' growing catalog of premium DC Comics statues celebrating some of the publisher's most iconic heroes and villains.
