We review the best DC figures from Sideshow, highlighting the superb figure of Superman: Red Son Premium Format
Superman: Red Son Premium Format
This impressive figure of the Soviet version of Superman is giving its last blows and it came out a few years ago, just as we announced at the time.
As you well know, it is a Premium Format version statue from Sideshow Collectibles and is made at a 1:4 scale with a height of 63.5 cm and a weight of 6.8 kg. This figure is made of resin and contains fabric or leather parts, for example, the suit or the belt that are flexible. The statue's base is shaped like the logo the hero wears in this series, with the hammer and sickle included inside Superman's shield.
This figure is special not only because of how impressive it is by itself, but also because of the story on which it is based, namely, Superman: Red Son, a comic that, in the words of my colleague Jairo Álvarez in his review of the comic, we could classify it as "one of the best comics in the history of Superman". Here we see a Superman raised in the former Soviet Union being the right hand of Joseph Stalin and using his power and influence to try to impose the communist philosophy throughout the world.
Isn't it true that a piece of figure like this would be spectacular in our showcases? Well, either you buy it now or you don't, because they are practically gone and there is only one left that you can buy on Amazon.
If it seems expensive to you, you also have the option to buy the articulated figure of Superman: Red Son from McFarlane Toys on Amazon, although there are also few units left.

Wonder Woman: Red Son
The princess of Themyscira also has the Red Son or Red Son version of her from the alternate reality. The animated film featured not only the Soviet Superman, but also this version of Wonder Woman, who was also turned into a Sideshow figure.
This spectacular statue that poses on a base similar to that of the previous Superman figure is also made on a 1:4 scale with a height of 55.88 cm. and 5.4kg. of weight. Her pose is spectacular, with one leg over the Batman mask of this reality and holding the hammer and sickle flag on her shoulder. It is made of resin, with fabric clothes and painted by hand.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
One of the best Batman video games that surprised many of us was Batman: Arkham Asylum, a game that came out for PS3, Xbox360 and Windows Microsoft. In this game we got into the skin of Batman, who had to enter the Arkham asylum to face a large number of insane villains with the Joker as the leader of a plan in which he is creating an army of monsters to destroy Gotham .
It is precisely in the Batman of this game that arrived in 2009 that this extraordinary Premium Format figure from Sideshow is inspired, which has the batman as the protagonist.
This spectacular statue in which Batman is presented ready for combat and with one hand in which he is holding the batarang, a hand that is interchangeable with another with a closed fist and without his iconic weapon. This limited edition figure of 1500 units made of resin and painted by hand has a height of 63.5 cm. and an approximate weight of 9.1 kg.

Joker: Arkham Asylum
If you pick up the Arkham Asylum version of Batman, you couldn't have a better showcase partner than his nemesis, Joker, in the same version of the game. As we have already explained, Joker is the one who makes things difficult for Batman thanks to the Titan toxin, which he is creating to form his army of monsters to sow chaos.
The Joker Sideshow Premium Format Figure is designed so that it can be displayed directly confronting the Batman figure listed above. In this figure we can see the Joker holding his Ace of Spades weapon with his right hand in challenging mode. This is an extraordinary limited edition made of resin, with approximately 62 cm. high and about 6.4 kg. of weight.
If you want your Batman: Arkham Asylum to have company, don't hesitate to get a unit of this spectacular Joker from Amazon.
