Departure from Krypton
There is some confusion over the Departure from Krypton statue. The picture in Diamond Comics’ Previews shows both Jor-El and Lara, the picture at DC Direct shows only Jor-El. I contacted my distributor, who in turn contacted DC Direct. The statue will have both of Superman’s parents as in the Preview’s picture and DC Direct has the correct picture at their website.
Designed and sculpted by William Paquet
With the destruction of Krypton imminent, scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara placed their infant son Kal-El in an experimental rocket to send him to Earth and safety. Now that defining moment for the child who would grow up to become Superman is brought to life with this hand-painted cold-cast porcelain statue, which stands approximately 9.12″ tall x 6.75″ wide x 5″ deep. Look for the companion statue, SUPERMAN: ARRIVAL IN SMALLVILLE. Packaged in a 4-color box.
