New shelves mean more space. And lucky for me, because Iron Studios is coming out with a fantastic Supergirl and Streaky statue in the second quarter of 2025. You can take a closer look here: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/289507?o=4
Here it is from another angle. Love the flowing cape and Streaky in mid-flight. Great hair sculpt too!
This one is just beautiful and therefore will probably find its way into my collection despite the high price.
For one, it has Streaky. How could I say no.
Second, the costume is a version of my most favorite: red skirt, blue shirt. Heck even the sleeves are oversized, akin to the pointed end version I like best.
But the most important thing is the vibe you get from this. Supergirl happily sitting on a tower top, smiling and happy, enjoying some fun with her kitty cat. Wonderful.

The official solicit:
This Supergirl 1/10 Art Scale statue from Iron Studios is based on the iconic DC Comics character. It stands around 10 inches tall and displays Supergirl in her memorable blue and red outfit while in a sitting pose with a feline friend. Don't miss your chance to add this statue to your DC Comics collection!
It isn't cheap! Start saving your pennies!
But utterly lovely. Just looking at it makes me smile!
Hat top to Professor Feetlebaum for giving me the head's up that this was out there!

That’s so lovely, I like the angle that makes it look as if Streaky is playing with Kara’s hair! I must say, the designer REALLY seems to like chimneys.
It’s nice but I wish she was a bit less sexualized. I guess it’s a bit of a compromise- got to please as many different groups as they can.
Yeah, this one was too good to pass up, in spite of the high price. It was because of that high price that I hesitated before deciding to buy it. Thankfully, both Big Bad Toy Store and Sideshow Collectibles offer payment plans.
One thing I'm hoping DC would publish is a facsimile edition of Action Comics # 252. Both DC and Marvel have come out with facsimiles of important issues this past year (Hawkman #4, Justice League of America #1, Fantastic Four #52 for example) it seems that Supergirl's first appearance would be a natural.
Yesterday I got to thinking how often Streaky has been included in Supergirl merchandise. I came up with these:
1. That small Ame Comi figure, with Streaky on Supergirl's head.
2. The Chrissie Zullo statue.
3.The Sideshow Premium Format statue (I believe Streaky was the exclusive).
4. The Prime 1 statue with Kara holding Streaky.
5. That mini Funko figure (Supergirl and Streaky sold separately).
6. The Darwyn Cooke action figure.
7. The first Supergirl Bishoujo statue.
8. The Superboy/Supergirl action figure set with the "Welcome to Smallville/Midvale" signs.
9. The Tweeterhead exclusive.
10. And now this Iron Studios statue.
By contrast, I don't believe that Krypto has ever been included with any SuperMAN figures. SuperBOY, yes. There was a Superboy and Krypto statue from DC Direct about 20 years ago, and more recently a set with Jon Kent and Krypto. And the Darwyn Cooke and Superboy/Supergirl sets included Krypto.
Maybe the statue and action figure companies just feel that a pet works better with Supergirl.
There are photos of this statue on Iron Studios Instagram page.
That is indeed a pretty spiffy statue there, and maybe my favorite take on Streaky to date.
@Professor Feetlebaum While it wasn't a statue in the sense you're talking about, Krypto and Superboy also appear together (fighting a space dragon no less) in the 1974 Aurora model kit, which has had at least one modern reissue.
