Funko Pop! DC Imperial Court Superman Asia Exclusive Fall Convention 2021
Kal-El has worn many suits across his legendary DC history — blue and red, black recovery suit, Kingdom Come gold — but none quite as darkly commanding as this one. Part of Funko's culturally rich DC Imperial Palace collection, Superman arrives in a striking black metallic finish that transforms the Last Son of Krypton into something altogether more dramatic and collectible — a figure that stands out on any shelf and signals immediately that this is no ordinary Superman Pop!
The DC Imperial Palace series reimagines DC's greatest heroes through the lens of imperial Asian court aesthetics — a visually stunning and deeply unique concept that produced some of the most artistically distinctive figures in the entire DC Pop! universe. Released as a 2021 Fall Convention Asia Exclusive, this black metallic Superman was distributed exclusively through Asian convention channels including China Con, making it one of the most genuinely region-specific and internationally sought-after DC Funko Pops ever produced.
Multiple metallic variants exist within the #402 lineup — the standard Imperial Palace Superman, the silver metallic, and this black metallic fall convention release — but the black metallic Asia exclusive is the rarest and most visually dramatic of the trio, the one that serious DC and Superman collectors spend the most time hunting down.
Collector Highlights:
- #402 in the Pop! Heroes DC lineup — the Black Metallic 2021 Fall Convention Asia Exclusive variant
- Asia Convention Exclusive — released through Asian convention channels in 2021, never distributed through Western retail
- Stands approximately 3.75 inches tall — packaged in a window display box with the official 2021 Fall Convention Asia sticker
