Mel and I were discussing our hopes and expectations for James Gunn's Superman. She commemorated the in-depth chat with a Kal-El surprise.
The item is, in fact, a 5.5", DC chess piece, from the Tonyk/Eaglemoss line, featuring Superman performing a symbolic nod to Atlas, positioning the Daily Planet globe above his head.
Though I could not discern who sculpted this super piece, I can confirm that it possesses genuine heft, being made of a special, metalized resin. The paint job is spiffy, too, flaunting fine, careful detailing, which further brings this representation to life, as Superman stands on an elegant, square, grey base.
I have a number of smaller, Superman pieces in my collection, which are of varying quality. There's no question that this nifty novelty is relegated to the higher echelon.
Thanks for commemorating our discussion, Mel. You always know how to hit the collectible spot.
