Sideshow Dazzler & Spider-Man Premium Format 1/4 Statues Up for Order!

Sideshow Spider-Man and Dazzler Premium Format Figures

I have highly limited space left in my displays for huge statues at this point, and even less space in my wallet for them. But I’m always watching for new characters I don’t have a statue of and bold takes on ones I do. So far this month, Sideshow has both! A new 1/4 Spider-Man Premium Format Figure and the first-ever 1/4 Dazzler Premium Format Figure are now up for order! Are they worth a look, lofty price tags and all?

Sideshow Captain Marvel Premium Format Figure 2022 Statue

Captain Marvel Premium Format Figure Sideshow 2022 Statue

Sideshow Collectibles has been hitting a lot of home runs lately with their ongoing series of Marvel Premium Format Figure quarter-scale statues, although a majority of their recent offerings are new visits to previously-produced characters. Last week they launched what I think is another winner, although it’s also a character they already released a fantastic statue of just a few years ago: the 2022 Sideshow Captain Marvel Premium Format Figure is now up for order!

Well, out of nowhere and with little fanfare, that day has arrived: the new 1/4 Sideshow Venom Premium Format Figure is now up for order!

Sideshow Collectibles Nightcrawler Premium Format Figure Statue

Sideshow Collectibles must have heard me complaining last week about the dearth of new additions to their 1/4 scale X-Men statue series, because shortly thereafter, an all-new Sideshow Exclusive Nightcrawler Premium Format Figure statue went up for pre-order! It’s the first new Nightcrawler statue to go up for sale in many years—does it look like it will be worth quarter-scale big bucks?

Sideshow Carnage & Captain America Premium Format Figure 1/4 Statues Up for Order!

Sideshow Collectibles 2021 Carnage Captain America Statues PF PFF

We’re fast approaching the Venom 2 movie hitting theaters in October, and that means merch season is about to be in full swing. We got the “related” Marvel Legends Venom series and Kotobukiya Carnage last year due to the movie’s delay, but Sideshow debuted all-new 1/4 versions of the symbiotes during Sideshow Con 2021 last month. And up first to launch is the new Sideshow Carnage Premium Format Figure! And Cletus Kassidy isn’t coming alone—Sideshow’s newest 1/4 Captain America statue is up for order now as well!

Sideshow Con 2021: Premium Format Venom Carnage Black Widow & Captain America Statues!

Comic Con 2021 Sideshow Premium Format Carnage Venom Black Widow Captain America Statues Revealed

San Diego Comic Con is generally the singular biggest event of the year for Sideshow Collectibles to unveil new statues at, and while SDCC 2021 isn’t *really* happening this year as a physical show, Sideshow has been holding their own Sideshow Con 2021 this week instead! I’m somewhat disappointed in the lack of new X-Men statues from them, but Sideshow otherwise hit us up with a grand slam of other new headliner 1/4 statue Marvel Premium Format Figures: Venom, Carnage, Captain America and Black Widow!

Sideshow Storm Premium Format Figure Statue Photos & Order Info! (X-Men 2021)

Sideshow X-Men Storm Statue 2021 Premium Format Figure Quarter Scale

After hitting 1/4 statue collectors with a veritable deluge of X-Men statues over the course of about two years, Sideshow Collectibles hit the brakes and slowed things down considerably once the pandemic hit. Other than a (rather awkwardly posed) Brown Costume Wolverine, Sideshow has launched zero new X-Men statues since 2019. But the drought is at an end—and appropriately enough, it’s Ororo Munroe bringing the rain! The new Sideshow Storm Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order: does the Wind Rider look worth the six Ben Franklins she’ll set you back?

Sideshow Silver Surfer Maquette Statue (w/ Nova) Released & Photos!

Sideshow Collectibles Silver Surfer Nova Statues

Sometimes you just can’t tell based on a first impression when a piece is going to end up being a popular hit with fans! One such case is the recently-released Sideshow Collectibles Silver Surfer Maquette (with Nova included with the Exclusive Edition). When Sideshow debuted this resin statue last summer, it wasn’t met with the instant universal love. But now that collectors have actually started getting their 1/4 Silver Surfer statues in-hand, things have changed a bit! Let’s take a look…

Silver Surfer Sideshow Nova Frankie Raye Exclusive Statue

Silver Surfer fans have been demanding a licensed statue of the Sky-Rider of the Spaceways for years, and last winter Sideshow Collectibles officially announced that they were answering the call! And after months of anticipation, the Sideshow EXCLUSIVE Silver Surfer Maquette (with EX Nova companion piece!) is now up for order! The Exclusive Nova statue is definitely one of the better Sideshow exclusives ever, although the 1/4 Silver Surfer statue itself has divided fans somewhat! What do you think of this piece, Marvel collectors?

Sideshow Exclusive Taskmaster Premium Format Figure Statue Pre-Order!

Close-Up of Skull Head Portrait Taskmaster Sideshow Collectibles Statue

We are almost at the halfway point of 2020, and up until now, Sideshow Collectibles has only launched pre-orders on a single 1/4 Marvel Premium Format Figure statue this entire year (a new version of Deadpool). But that changed this week, when a long-teased character was finally solicited. And this isn’t a redo either—it’s an all-new character for Sideshow (and a villain at that!): the Sideshow Exclusive Taskmaster Premium Format Figure went up for sale this week! Is this classic comics-based baddie worth buying for big bucks…?

Sideshow Exclusive Deadpool Premium Format Figure on Scooter 2020

Bizarre fact: it is now May 2020, and Sideshow Collectibles just opened their very first 1/4 Marvel Premium Format Figure pre-order this week. If that’s not a sign of the times, I don’t know what is! But regardless, the new Sideshow Deadpool Premium Format statue is now up for order! Depending on how you count, this is somewhere between Sideshow’s 3rd and 6th statue of the Merc with a Mouth—is it their best one yet… and worthy of its $600+ price-tag?

Doctor Strange Sideshow Collectibles 2020 Statue

For over 14 long years, the resin Bowen Designs Doctor Strange statue by the Kucharek Bros. has reigned supreme and unchallenged as the best domestic comic-based statue of the Sorcerer Supreme in all the land. But following the good doctor’s explosive rise in popularity thanks to his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a new challenger is about to enter the fray: the 1/4 Sideshow Collectibles Doctor Strange statue went up for order today! And who better to try to take down the champion than the sculptors of the Bowen piece—the Kucharek Brothers themselves…

PCS Venompool Statue Photos & Order Info! 40”! Contest of Champions!

Size Comparison of Venompool PCS Statue and Sideshow Deadpool 12 Inch Figure

When Hot Toys launched pre-orders in the summer for their 14” Venompool 1:6 figure for $400+, I thought that would be one of the wildest solicitations of the year. I mean, 400 bucks for a virtually unknown mobile game mash-up character? Crazy talk. But Marvel newcomer Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is upping the ante in a mind-exploding away: the 40” PCS Venompool 1:3 scale statue goes up for order this afternoon… for $2500! (Yes, you read that right.) Yowza. Let’s have a look…

Sideshow Exclusive Wolverine Tiger Stripe Sixth Scale Figure Up for Order!

Sideshow Wolverine Sixth Scale Figure Bone Claws

While Sideshow Collectibles’ Marvel sixth scale figures line got off to a rocky start with a 1/6 Deadpool that’s still available over half a decade after going up for sale (seriously), the figures that came after him sold much better—including the Brown Costume Wolverine that swiftly sold out and escalated in value on the aftermarket. Turns out demand for Logan wasn’t met, many collectors cried out for more, and here he is: the 1/6 Sideshow Wolverine Tiger Stripe figure is now up for order!
