You can now bring a life-sized Superman home. The nail on the coffin hit when Henry Cavill announced he would not be returning for Man of Steel 2. It broke the hearts of many fans who were excited to see the sequel after nearly a decade.

We do not know which actor will get DC’s cape for the role next, but toy companies have decided to etch Cavill as Superman through their new collection of toys. Here are details about the life-sized Henry Cavill toy that you can now bring home.

Henry Cavill can now permanently be remembered as Superman, thanks to this new bust. According to FlickeringMyth, Infinity Studios & Penguin Toys have come up with limited edition busts which are available to purchase now. Only 499 such pieces have been made and can be pre-ordered at a whopping amount of $4,500. Then again, the price comes with some high-quality finishing on the pieces. The silicone portraits boast natural-looking expressions and the most realistic look possible. The devil is in the details with this piece and will be every DC fan’s dream collectible.
The 1:1 portrait will have the closest resemblance to the actor’s flesh and expressions. Instead of the red and white attire, the bust wraps the actor in a black Superman costume, skin-tight like in the movies. Its bonus is perhaps the buttoned option of turning on the hero’s heat vision power. It also comes with the iconic ‘S’ logo placed in between the chest.

The piece has perhaps come as a tribute to the actor as well as director Zack Snyder, who made the movie a massive success
How Henry Cavill shaped the idea of a modern Superman
Henry Cavill reprised his role as Superman five times, despite having only one Man of Steel. Instead of his typical blue and red costume, the collectible likely portrayed him in black attire to mark his resurrection. As we can see in Zack Snyder’s Justice League where The Witcher actor was cast alongside Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Amber Heard, etc. Perhaps, the bust will mark as a memory until DC finds the perfect actor to replace Cavill.
