ERTL DC Comics Super Heroes die-cast Superman figurine “standing” version (1990)

Here it is! The 800th Superman item from my collection to be featured on this blog.

This is the second ERTL DC Comics Super Heroes die-cast Superman figurine that I’ve added to this virtual exhibit. The first one I added was in 2018 and was the “raised fist” version. This is the “standing” figure (#716) and it comes with a trading card featuring the cover of Action Comics number 485 and the bold artwork of Neal Adams showing Superman breaking out of Kryptonite chains. This figurine was…

Christopher King custom Christopher Reeve figure and cardback (2021)

A multi-talented fan and customizer named Christopher King created this unbelievably detailed 1/18 scale Christopher Reeve Superman figure. The 3D printed figure came primed and all I needed to do was paint him and place him on the equally exquisite custom cardback that he created. Once assembled, this collectible…

1/16th scale Kirk Alyn Superman figurine (2021)

Digitally sculpted and printed by Canadian artist Tonie Neo Tirado, this 1/16th scale Kirk Alyn Superman figurine is a wonderful addition to my collection!

Hot Wheels Lexcorp Jet Takeoff (2007)

Setting up the beginning of a tale of about a confrontation between Superman and his arch nemesis Lex Luthor was what this Hot Wheels Lexcorp Jet Takeoff set was all about. Produced in 2007 by Mattel, the carded set features a Superman jet powered vehicle, a translucent green Lexcorp Jet (with purple trimming) that has a propeller at the rear, and a 1.5-inch Superman figurine in an action pose.

Comic Book Champions pewter Superman sculpture (1996)

This is a Comic Book Champions pewter Superman sculpture that was produced in 1996. It features a fantastic sculpture of Superman lifted directly from the cover art of Superman #1 in 1939.

Comic Book Champions is a trademark of Racing Champions, Inc.

Mattel Justice League Action Mighty Minis (Pack 1) (2016)

Another collectible based on the animated series Justice League Action. This is pack one of the Mighty Minis line of figures that contains Superman, Lobo, Hawkman, and Darkseid’s head which was seemingly lopped off in battle. No… actually it’s a build-a-figure piece that, when you collect all for packs in the series, connects with other pieces to create a full Darkseid Mighty Minis figure.
