DCSH Darkseid vs. DCUC Wave 12 Darkseid

[HarryWildman]

Title is pretty self explanatory. Not which one would win if you slammed your action figures into each other and said, "Ha hah, fight it out, jerks", but which one in your opinion is the better rendition of Darkseid. Or maybe you think they're equally great? Or maybe you prefer another version? Let's find out.

I don't think much of the DCSH one. The DCUC one from wave 12 on the otherhand I think is an absolute perfect rendition of him and I consider it the definitive Darkseid figure. The sculpt is outstanding, the quality of plastic is great, the colors are so deep and vibrant, the killing glove and motherbox are nice little accessories to include. He simply pops on the shelf and is the perfect center to the New Gods shelf allowing all of his various minions to revolve around.

I like the darker color scheme of the 2nd DCSH release, but the size of the DCUC BAF makes it my favorite.

I like the wave 12 better. Sure he may not have been drawn that big too often but I like an imposing Darkseid. Makes him seem more badass.

[Superpowers1980]

Each one has some great quality over the other. The wave 12 version is pretty solid and an improved head. I go with the Wave 12 version, even though its too big, its still better than pin head DCSH version.

For once I agree totally with Superpowers1980!

 

The DCSH version really is pin-headed. But the DCUC version is also far too large. Still, at least the DCUC version is proportionate and not pinheaded.

What do you mean with pin Head? Anyways, I all opposite; I like the DC superheroes more than DCU one. Why? Well, the size, DCUC seems to tower almost every other figure from its kind.

Ditto. I own both and I keep the shorter, darker one as my STAS Darkseid. The W12CnC is my "everything else" comic Darkseid.

Does anyone have comparison pics of the two side by side?

I far prefer the overall size of the DCSH version, but the color of the DCUC is better, as is the head sculpt. And the head size. The sad DCSH version looks like he can fit his head inside his hand!

[LarryKoopa]

There are two differently colored DCSH versions. The original's colors match the comic and the new CnC (who also matches the comic, obviously). The re-release, which I prefer to the original, was repainted to match his STAS colors.
