Toys - Supergirl: Hot Toys Supergirl & Krypto 1/6th Scale Collectible Set Brings Milly Alcock’s New DC Heroine to Life

By Mulder, 30 may 2026

As anticipation continues to build for DC Studios’ upcoming film Supergirl, collectible giant Hot Toys has unveiled one of its most ambitious DC releases of the year: the Supergirl & Krypto 1/6th Scale Collectible Set. Inspired by the cinematic debut of Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, the premium figure captures the distinctive interpretation of the character introduced in the new DC Universe spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran. The announcement arrives only weeks before the film’s theatrical launch and highlights how quickly Milly Alcock’s portrayal has become one of the most anticipated elements of DC’s rebuilding strategy. While previous generations associated Supergirl with performers such as Helen Slater, Melissa Benoist, or more recently Sasha Calle, the new film positions Kara as a far rougher and more emotionally scarred protagonist, a direction directly reflected in the design choices of this collectible.

Rather than presenting a traditional clean-cut superheroine, Hot Toys has faithfully recreated the version of Kara seen in the film’s promotional material and trailers. The figure features an entirely new head sculpt based on Milly Alcock, complete with separately rolling eyeballs, realistic skin textures, and a carefully sculpted wavy blonde hairstyle. Standing approximately 27.5 centimeters tall, the figure uses a newly developed body with seamless silicone thighs designed to conceal articulation points while preserving flexibility for dynamic flying poses. The costume itself reproduces the suit created for the film by costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, including the textured blue fabric, the iconic House of El emblem, the metallic gold belt, the red skirt and shorts combination, and genuine leather boots. Particularly noteworthy is the magnetically detachable cape, which allows collectors to switch between Kara’s heroic appearance and her more casual traveler look featuring the brown trench coat that has become one of the visual signatures of the marketing campaign.

One of the most interesting aspects of this release is how strongly it reflects the themes of the film itself. Unlike many previous screen incarnations of Supergirl, the upcoming movie directed by Craig Gillespie is heavily inspired by the acclaimed comic miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, a story that reimagined Kara as a wandering cosmic adventurer dealing with grief, trauma, and revenge. According to James Gunn, the project was selected as the second feature film in the new DC Universe because of the exceptional screenplay written by Ana Nogueira, which transformed the comic’s emotional core into what Gunn described as a large-scale science-fiction epic. The film follows Kara and her loyal companion Krypto as they cross the galaxy and become entangled in a violent quest for justice after a devastating tragedy involving the young Ruthye Marye Knoll, portrayed by Eve Ridley. That darker, more mature approach explains why the collectible includes accessories such as sunglasses, a portable music player with headphones, a stopwatch, and a drink cup, all elements that emphasize Kara’s personality beyond her superhero identity.

Of course, no Supergirl release based on the new film would be complete without Krypto, and Hot Toys has clearly understood the importance of the character. The approximately 9.5-centimeter-tall figure depicts the super-powered dog in a walking pose with an embroidered cape featuring the famous S-shield. Krypto has become increasingly prominent in DC’s promotional campaign, especially after Craig Gillespie revealed that he expanded the character’s presence during the film’s opening sequences. According to the director, Krypto represents the last tangible connection Kara still has to Krypton, making the relationship between hero and dog one of the emotional foundations of the story. That creative decision mirrors the role Krypto has often played in DC Comics, where he serves not only as comic relief but also as a reminder of Krypton’s lost legacy. The inclusion of a fully realized Krypto figure significantly enhances the value of the set and helps distinguish it from previous Supergirl collectibles released over the decades.

The collectible also arrives at a fascinating moment for the DC brand. After years of uncertainty surrounding the future of the character, beginning with the canceled DCEU-era Supergirl project and the appearance of Sasha Calle in The Flash, the new film has emerged as one of the cornerstone productions of the rebooted DC Universe. Produced by James Gunn and Peter Safran, Supergirl stars Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa, with the latter finally bringing the fan-favorite bounty hunter Lobo to the big screen. Filmed across England and Scotland using IMAX cameras, the production reportedly embraces influences ranging from True Grit to Logan and John Wick, while transporting audiences through multiple alien worlds in a cosmic road-movie structure unlike anything previously attempted with the character. Early industry tracking has already suggested strong audience awareness ahead of release, while Peter Safran has publicly confirmed that Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El is expected to play a major role in the future of the DC Universe.

For collectors, the timing could hardly be better. Scheduled for release between the third and fourth quarters of 2026 under product code MMS869, the Supergirl & Krypto 1/6th Scale Collectible Set serves not only as a showcase of Hot Toys’ latest engineering and sculpting techniques but also as a snapshot of a pivotal moment in DC history. Much like earlier Hot Toys figures based on Christopher Reeve’s Superman, Christian Bale’s Batman, or Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, this release commemorates the arrival of a new cinematic interpretation that could define the character for an entire generation. Whether purchased as a companion piece to the upcoming film or as a centerpiece for a DC collection, this highly detailed set successfully captures both the heroic grandeur and the rebellious spirit that have already made Milly Alcock’s Supergirl one of the most talked-about new heroes in modern comic-book cinema.
