DC Universe Classics Collect and Connect Darkseid Scale Info from Four Horsemen

Here’s another item that I think will be filed in the “things must be pretty good if we’re complaining about this” category. The Four Horsemen are explaining why it actually makes sense that the DC Universe Classics Collect and Connect Darkseid is as large as he is.

I know the Horsemen mentioned Super Powers, but we all know that the reason Darkseid is in this line is because of his appearance in Cosmic Odyssey.

Four Horsemen comment on Darkseid’s scale

This in from the boys in NJ:

Hi everybody, we’ve seen a lot of arguing and confusion surrounding the scale and size of the recently released Darkseid C&C figure. We thought that it might be helpful if we gave you guys some insight into where we came up with the final height of the figure. Darkseid’s classic height has always been listed at 7’6″. (Of course the modern version is listed as much bigger, but most fans have been vocal about getting the classic proportions.) The average DCUC figure is not 6″, but actually 6 and 3/8 inches tall. Proportionally the perfect height for a Darkseid figure representing 7’6″ is exactly 8″. We decided to use official stats since he has been drawn so many different ways over the years. (Even Jack Kirby’s depictions vary drastically from panel to panel!)

On a further note the Super Powers version is 5.5″ versus a standard hero height of 4.5″. Proportionately scaled, our figure is actually a little smaller than he should be to match the Super Powers size difference. Of course these guys are comic book characters, so what would any discussion be without a little debate, but we thought you might like a little insight into how we came up with our version.
