In the annals of legendary comic book artists there are few names bigger than Neal Adams. So it’s only right that DC Collectibles brought Adams’ instantly recognizable style to this incredible Superman statue, which we recently added to our collection.
While Adams is perhaps better known for his work on Batman, with this particular Superman statue, the iconic artist’s unique style is clearly on display, with the figure based on the Neal Adam’s cover art for Superman Vol. 1 #233 from 1971 (which remains arguably one of the most recognizable Superman covers of all time).
THE SPECS
Sculpted by longtime DC Collectibles artist Jonathan Matthews, the Neal Adams Superman statue stands at an impressive 13-inches high, which gives an eye-catching weight to the piece. The paint work is particularly well done and the kryptonite chains look great and are perfectly molded to the figure.

WHAT IT COMES WITH
This particular Superman statue comes with a standard solid base, which features the classic Superman logo and is relatively sturdy. The figure simply snaps into place and there’s very little give. It would have been awesome if the product came with some additional items, like a print of the original Neal Adams cover or even a replica issue, but the statue itself is so gorgeous that it more than makes up for it (in true DC Collectibles fashion, the Box is also a work of art unto itself).
THE PRICE
As a slightly larger figure, you can expect to pay a bit more than you would other Superman statues on the market, including those from DC Collectibles. That being said, the value is definitely there and with a limited run of just 5,000 copies this particular piece does seem to be selling well on eBay, which suggests it might be a decent investment if you’re ever interested in flipping it.
OUR RATING
With incredible detail, solid painting and an homage to one of the greatest comic book covers of all time featuring the Man of Steel, this latest DC Collectibles Superman statue is honestly a must-have for fans of both Kal-El and Neal Adams alike.
