DCeased Superman DC Essentials Action Figure (2021)
From the darkest corners of the DC multiverse comes this haunting interpretation of the Man of Steel. Based on the acclaimed DCeased storyline by Tom Taylor, this DC Direct release captures Superman in his tragic infected form, a chilling reminder that even the world's greatest hero can fall to the Anti-Life Equation.
The DC Essentials line brought premium collector-focused figures to fans seeking comic-accurate sculpts and dynamic poses at an accessible price point. This DCeased Superman showcases the infection that swept across DC's heroes, transforming hope into horror. The figure features detailed sculpting that captures the corrupted physiology and tattered costume elements that made the DCeased visual aesthetic so compelling.
Released in 2021 during the height of DCeased's popularity, this figure represents a unique moment in DC collecting—when the publisher embraced darker, apocalyptic storytelling that resonated with longtime fans. The design translates Tom Taylor's vision and artist Trevor Hairsine's unsettling imagery into three-dimensional form, making it a standout piece for fans of horror-tinged superhero stories.
This carded example remains sealed in its original packaging, preserving the distinctive DCeased artwork and branding. While the blister shows minor wear and corner creasing consistent with storage and handling, the figure itself remains pristine behind the plastic. A compelling addition for DC Essentials completists, DCeased storyline enthusiasts, or collectors who appreciate Superman's darker alternate-reality appearances.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.

In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders).
