Darkseid Statue From Iron Studios Demands Three-Year Wait

DC fans will need the patience of a cosmic deity. Iron Studios just unveiled a stunning 1/10 Art Scale statue of Darkseid, but don't expect to add the Ruler of Apokolips to your collection anytime soon. Pre-orders are live now, but shipping isn't slated until a distant 2027.
This isn't just any villain; Darkseid, created by Jack Kirby, is a titan of the DC Universe, a cosmic-level threat known for his relentless pursuit of the Anti-Life Equation. Iron Studios captures his imposing presence perfectly, seated on his throne, Mother Box in hand, standing at 10.3 inches. It's part of their "Unleashed" series, aimed squarely at serious collectors.
At $449.99, this isn't a casual purchase, especially with a three-year lead time. Iron Studios is known for hyper-detailed work, a reputation they clearly bank on for such a long wait and hefty price tag. For those who can commit, this could be the definitive Darkseid piece.

Catzye Take
This three-year pre-order window is certainly unusual in the collectibles world, even for a high-end piece. It'll be interesting to see if this trend of extremely long lead times catches on, or if fans push back on paying upfront for items so far out. Serious collectors will likely still be tempted by such a detailed Darkseid.
