The Story

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.

The Stuff You’re Probably Wondering Before You Smash ‘Buy Now’

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How Fast Do We Ship?

Most in-stock orders placed before 12 PM CST ship the same day. We’re label-printing, box-packing machines — without skimping on quality. Your tracking number will probably show up before you’ve even closed the tab.

How Do We Pack Orders?

Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.

Are You Actually Collectors Too?

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎

What's Your Return Policy?

30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.

Pre-Orders: How They Work

Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? 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). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.

Still Stumped? Let’s Talk.

We’re real collectors who actually answer — no bots, no scripts, no hold music. Shoot us a message and we’ll get back faster than you can refresh your tracking number.
