XM Studios is excited to present Kal-El (Dark Knights of Steel), their next DC Premium Collectibles statue from the Dark Knights of Steel comic run! Each highly detailed statue is painstakingly handcrafted and expertly hand-painted with XM's famous quality finish.
The Dark Knights of Steel comic run presents a captivating, high fantasy retelling of the DC Universe with the momentous arrival of the Els by spaceship from their doomed planet, Krypton. In this storyline, the Els would come to befriend King Thomas and Queen Martha, kicking off a cascading sequence of events brimming with knights, magic, and intrigue amidst a warring feud between kingdoms!
XM will be giving a unique twist to this series by providing collectors with the option to collect the original comic look and an altered high fantasy look developed by the XM creative team. Building on top of the existing design in the comics, this look features Kal-El in heavy medieval armour, complete with XM's unique take on styling in tandem with the actual comic storyline. The XM Studios altered take on Kal-El's armour also features a full-faced helmet, while holding on to a banner featuring the House of El family crest and sun-inspired motifs running along the leg, arm and chest plates.
