The once-legendary Dr. Doom’s star has fallen a lot in recent years. Oft considered the greatest Marvel villain, Dr. Doom has been surpassed in the public’s eyes by characters such as Loki, Magneto and Thanos receiving more attention in modern movies and comic storylines. Even so, Dr. Doom is an all-time-great supervillain and beloved by hardcore comic book fans the world over. And that’s why he’ll also be Sideshow’s next major villain sculpture released–the Sideshow Exclusive Dr. Doom Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order!
Continue Reading →It’s been an abnormally quiet news week, and that means it’s the perfect time for Sideshow Collectibles to try to claim Marvel collectors’ attention (and future dollars) with another pre-order! This time, Sideshow is finally ready to fully reveal a statue that it’s been teasing us with for several weeks now. When the Sideshow Iron Patriot Maquette arrives at the end of 2014 he won’t have to be lonely for long–the quarter-scale Sideshow Iron Man Mark 42 Maquette is now up for order!
Continue Reading →The Rule of Three is a writing principle that states that things that come in threes are inherently better than individuals or pairs of things. That rule must be what Sideshow Collectibles had in mind when they decided to go ahead with not one, not two, but three new Hulk Premium Format Figures in 2014! We’ve had the Sideshow Premium Format Red Hulk and Green Hulk statues go up for sale in the past two months, but if those weren’t for you, perhaps the third time will be the charm–the Sideshow exclusive Grey Hulk Premium Format statue is now up for order!
Continue Reading →When it comes to the sheer amount of high-end collectibles being released for a brand, it looks like Marvel is the new Star Wars! The number of statues, sixth scale figures and other high-end products being released in 2014 is truly staggering, and Sideshow Collectibles has become increasingly ruthless this year. Along with thousands of dollars worth of other “must have” Sideshow Marvel statues, Sideshow has another major release on the way: the Sideshow Daredevil Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order!
Continue Reading →While the Incredible Hulk is one of the most popular and in-demand characters in the Marvel Universe, not every collector has an extra two grand lying around with which to purchase the original Sideshow Hulk Premium Format Figure statue off the aftermarket. Sideshow Collectibles finally seems to have realized that fact, and is preparing to give Hulk aficionados another crack at a Green Hulk Premium Format Figure this year, as the Sideshow Exclusive Premium Format Hulk statue is up for order as of this afternoon!
Continue Reading →I’m an X-Men guy at heart, and “my” iconic X-Men are the Jim Lee X-Men designs that made up the 90’s X-Men squads. It was the 1990’s X-Men cartoon series that really got me hooked on reading superhero comics, and as such, I’m a total mark for any new X-Men collectibles from that era.
So when Sideshow announced their next statue, I was thrilled as an X-Men collector but despairing for my wallet–the exclusive edition of the Sideshow Premium Format Jean Grey statue is now available for order!
Continue Reading →With Marvel hype reaching a fervor pitch with this week’s release of the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie in theaters, Sideshow Collectibles is aiming to capitalize from a totally different angle–that of Cap’s Avengers comrade, Thor! Not only is the very cool Thor Frog going up this week, but the Sideshow exclusive edition of their all-new Premium Format Thor Modern Age statue is now available for order! Ever wanted a statue of Thor wielding a sword…? Well, now you can have one…
Continue Reading →As tomorrow is April Fool’s Day, I figured I better get this product preview out of the way today, lest everyone believe that it’s a joke (it’s not–I hate April Fool’s Day with a fiery passion). Announced last week and now fully revealed, Sideshow Collectibles is bringing one of Walt Simonson’s greatest creations to life in diorama form!
No, it’s not a new Thor, Loki or even Beta Ray Bill–as unlikely as it may be, the Sideshow Thor Frog Diorama Statue is now available for order!
Continue Reading →This will be tough to believe, but we haven’t seen a single new Marvel comics-based Sideshow Premium Format Figure put up for sale since the end of 2013! Sideshow has been quiet, but now we can see the reason why: they’ve been working on something big. And by “big”, I mean “jaw droppingly-huge”! Sideshow Collectibles has not one, not two, but three Hulk Premium Format statues lined up for 2014, and the Red Hulk Premium Format Figure Exclusive Edition Statue is now up for order on the Sideshow website!
Continue Reading →Earlier this week, Gentle Giant Ltd. announced and put up for order their quarter-scale Captain America: The Winter Soldier Stealth Captain America statue. Never one to be outdone by other companies, Sideshow Collectibles has now officially announced their own upcoming 1/4 Captain America The Winter Soldier Premium Format Figures statues! And while photos aren’t available yet, Sideshow did let us know some interesting details…
Continue Reading →Sideshow defied expectations last month, when they chose to put the Premium Format Captain America Allied Charge on Hydra statue we hadn’t previously seen up for pre-order before the new Red Skull Premium Format Figure we’d seen in its complete form during the summer.
Red Skull fans can rejoice now, though, as the opportunity to drop another $370 is upon them–the Sideshow Exclusive Red Skull Premium Format Figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Despite having limited sceen-time and little action in this year’s Iron Man 3 movie, the Iron Patriot is beyond any shadow of a doubt the breakout character from that film. But as much Iron Patriot merchandise as we’ve seen this year, it’s 2014 that will truly be the year of the Iron Patriot. Despite a huge surplus of Iron Patriot collectibles already scheduled for 2014, Sideshow Collectibles has just announced one more exquisite high-end Iron Patriot item–the Sideshow Iron Patriot Quarter Scale Maquette goes up for order later today!
Continue Reading →Last week Sideshow teased a new version of their super-popular Deadpool Premium Format Figure for Black Friday, and they were true to their word–the X-Force Deadpool Premium Format Figure is now up for order!
X-Force Deadpool’s got a different color costume, different hands and accessories, a different base, and one less head! In some ways I think this is an improvement over the original Deadpool–and in some ways, not so much…
Continue Reading →It’s been a little while since Sideshow Collectibles has produced a new Captain America statue, but with the new “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” movie coming to theaters in early 2014, the time has arrived for an all-new Premium Format Captain America. Easily the most detailed and visually impressive statue of the character that Sideshow Collectibles has ever developed, the Sideshow Exclusive Captain America Allied Charge on Hydra Premium Format Figure is now up for order!
