Sideshow Collectibles has gone all-in on their X-Men Premium Format Figure series of 1:4 statues, attacking collectors’ wallets with more fervor and enthusiasm than I can ever remember from them. It seems like every other week we’re seeing another statue revealed and put up for sale, and the next piece in the rapid-fire parade is now on the hunt for our dollars: the Sideshow Exclusive Sabretooth Premium Format Figure is now up for order! Is this piece “EX or bust”?

Sideshow Collectibles has been diving deep and hard into the X-Men since they began their wave of new statues with the Wolverine Premium Format Format Figure back in 2017. And now that we’re in the double-digits of X-characters released or solicited, they’re ready to cycle back to who brought them to the dance again: the new Sideshow Logan Premium Format Figure goes up for order today! The 2017 Wolverine Statue has been widely acclaimed—can Logan reach the same heights?
Continue Reading →When the 1/4 Sideshow Juggernaut Maquette Statue went up for order last month, collectors were aghast at the $1300+ price-tag and hoped that it was some sort of erroneous anomaly, the likes of which we would never see again. Alas, history has repeated itself. The much talked-about Exclusive Sideshow Gladiator Hulk Maquette goes up for sale today, but if you want it, you’ll have to drop another mortgage-like payment to call it your own…
Continue Reading →Of all the remaining Marvel comic book villains yet to be captured in 1:4 scale statue form by any major company, X-Men villain Juggernaut is at the very top of the list. And after years of demand from collectors, Sideshow Collectibles finally heard the outcry and announced a Premium Format scale Juggernaut last year! And now, the Sideshow Exclusive Juggernaut Statue (with Kitty Pryde EX!) goes up for order today… but will the Unstoppable Juggernaut be stopped by a startling price-tag?
Continue Reading →While Hot Toys is covering Marvel movie-based sixth scale figures so magnificently that there’s zero need for other company to compete with them on the movie front, Marvel Comics sixth scale figures are few and far between (especially with the Hasbro 12” line seemingly on hiatus). But Sideshow Collectibles is still slowly trucking along with comic book-styled goodness, and their next character is a bit of a surprise: the Sideshow Exclusive Red Skull 1/6 figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Sideshow Collectibles has been on a huge roll lately with their Magneto, Miles Morales Spider-Man, Captain America and Wolverine statues all arriving to near-universal praise. And now, the first of a half-dozen new X-Men females already solicited is starting to arrive on collectors’ doorsteps: the Sideshow Mystique Premium Format Figure! Does Sideshow keep on rolling with another top-quality release? Let’s take a peek…
Continue Reading →Sideshow Collectibles has been giving us a healthy mix of new characters (like X-23, Domino and Miles Morales Spider-Man) and revisits of iconic mainstays (like Psylocke, Captain America and Black Widow) over the past year, and now it’s the most popular vigilante in the Marvel Universe’s turn: the new Sideshow Exclusive Punisher Premium Format Figure is now up for order! And continuing their recent streak of hot exclusives, it looks like this is going to be another 1:4 statue that’s going to be “EX or Bust” for most collectors…
Continue Reading →Sideshow Collectibles has been on a hot streak lately with world-class statues coming out one after the next, including their recent Captain America, Wolverine, Magneto and more. Of course, those were all highly-hyped pieces expected to get top marks–but their latest release is more of a sleeper hit! Even though it’s only been shipping for less than a week, the Sideshow Miles Morales Premium Format Figure has already gone to Wait List and is poised to sell out! Should you get one before it does? Let’s hear some reviews and see some photos of the final statue…
Continue Reading →Sideshow Collectibles put a record-breaking five female X-Men Premium Format Figures up for order last year, but it looks like the party isn’t over for fans of the X-Ladies just yet! Though I’m not sure she’s ever technically been part of the core “X-Men” team, her movie appearance in Deadpool 2 and relationship with Cable has put her on the map as a major fan-favorite: the 1:4 Sideshow Exclusive Domino Premium Format Figure is now up for order! And this is another piece I would say is definitely “EX or bust”…
Continue Reading →I am not ashamed to admit that I’ve got a bit of a thing for She-Hulk. Jennifer Walters is pretty much the perfect woman: brilliant, independent, witty, capable and powerful. Heck, “Shulkie” is one of my nicknames for my wife (who, coincidentally, is also named Jennifer). So whenever a company announces a new She-Hulk collectible? I take notice. And although it’s been years since the last time a high-end statue of the character went up for sale, she’s finally back on the case: the Sideshow Exclusive She-Hulk Adi Granov Series Statue is now up for order!
Continue Reading →While Sideshow Collectibles posted teaser photos online of most of their new products making their public debuts on display at New York Comic Con 2018, they kept one nice surprise under wraps to be revealed at the show: a Magneto 1/6 figure! As a character Hot Toys never has and perhaps never will do a movie 12” figure of, this caught a lot of collectors’ eyes. And now the Master of Magnetism is ready to capture their wallets as well: the Sideshow Exclusive Magneto Sixth Scale figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Bust collecting is dying. There’s almost no doubt about it: Whether it’s life-size busts or mini-busts, statue companies are having very hard time these days finding more than a few hundred collectors interested in any one bust. But perhaps Sideshow Collectibles has the right idea with their latest attempt, as they’re not even going to try to find hundreds. Instead, they’re going right for an edition size that’s almost unheard of for a Marvel Statue: the LE 100 (yes, 100!!) X-Force Deadpool Life Size Bust is now up for order!
Continue Reading →UPDATE 11/8/2018: Sideshow’s Venom Life-Size Bust was the single thing that impressed me most at NYCC 2018, and just a month later, the 27.5″ tall Sideshow Venom LSB is up for PO! It’s both WAY WAY too big and WAY WAY too expensive for me to add to my collection, but is anyone planning to pick up what has to be among the coolest (and biggest) Venom items ever made?
Continue Reading →The Sideshow Marvel Sixth Scale Figure line has had a few hits and a few misses with fans, but almost unquestionably their most well-received release to date has been their 1/6 Ghost Rider Figure. But for those who missed out on that sold-out figure or prefer a more classic take on the Spirit of Vengeance, you’re in luck: the Sideshow Exclusive Classic Ghost Rider 1/6 figure is now up for order… and he’s limited to a crazy-low 350 pieces!
Continue Reading →2018 has been a banner year for Sideshow X-Men statues, and it appears that the likely final X-Men Premium Format Figure pre-order of the year is also the one with arguably the most hype around it. Following the popular Mystique, Emma Frost, Rogue and Psylocke POs, the last of this year’s X-Women is officially on the way: the Sideshow Exclusive X-23 Premium Format Statue goes up for pre-order Thursday afternoon! And if you want her awesome masked head, you’re gonna need the EX…
