Sideshow Sentinel Statue 32″ Tall Maquette Up for Order!

Posted on by July 12, 2014
Sideshow Collectibles Sentinel Statue Maquette

I was pretty lucky during the first ten days of Sideshow Collectibles’ Online Comic Con 2014 event. And by “lucky”, I mean that Sideshow didn’t put up a single item that I was going to be dropping hundreds of dollars on. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon your point of view), Sideshow hit the jackpot today with my wallet. Not only did Sideshow put the Hot Toys Bones Iron Man I’ve been lusting after for a year up for sale, but the humongous, long-awaited 32″ Sideshow Sentinel Maquette Statue is now up for order!

Bowen Designs Mojo Statue Released Close-Up

And then there were none. I’ve been counting down the remaining Bowen Designs statues left to be released since winter, and to my dismay, no new contract between Marvel and Bowen Designs has been signed despite the dwindling number of Bowen Marvel statues left to be released. And now? Now that number is down to zero.

The era of Marvel Bowen Designs statues may be over–but if it is, Bowen Designs is going out on a high note: the exclusive Bowen Mojo statue has now been released and is available for order online!

SDCC 2014 Exclusive Kotobukiya Grey Hulk ARTFX+ Statue

Just because we’re only three weeks away from San Diego Comic Con 2014 doesn’t mean that every company has played all its cards already as far as Marvel SDCC 2014 exclusives go!

Sideshow Collectibles Dr. Doom Premium Format Figure Statue Revealed

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!

Kotobukiya SDCC 2014 Exclusive Classic X-Men Psylocke Bishoujo Statue Revealed

Regular readers know that I’m pretty outspoken about my dislike of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Marvel statues. I feel that they’re often posed in such a cheesecake way that they’re embarrassing to look at, much less bring into the house where my wife can see them. But Kotobukiya won my first-ever Bishoujo statue sale last year when they released one of my absolute favorite characters, and now they’re going to be removing money from my bank account once more for her variant–the SDCC 2014 Kotobukiya Classic Psylocke Bishoujo statue has now been revealed!

Black and Gold Iron Man Kotobukiya Avengers Marvel Now Statue ARTFX+

It’s taken about a year since the first prototypes were shown and a third of a year since we saw the unpainted sculpt of the final piece in the series, but the Kotobukiya Avengers Now ARTFX+ statues have finally assembled! Though Kotobukiya stole his spotlight away by announcing a red-and-gold Iron Man variant on the same day as his painted premiere, the black-and-gold Marvel Now Kotobukiya Iron Man ARTFX+ statue is now fully revealed and available for order!

Kotobukiya Iron Man ARTFX+ Variant Statue Red and Yellow

This week Kotobukiya premiered the first paint photos of what I fully expected to be the final entry in the Kotobukiya Avengers ARTFX+ statues line: Iron Man. But while Iron Man was the sixth statue revealed for a line that was only expected to include six figures, Kotobukiya had a twist for us: a previously totally unannounced seventh Avengers Now ARTFX+ statue that’s also Iron Man! Coming to stores at the end of 2014–the Avengers Kotobukiya Iron Man variant ARTFX+ statue in classic red and gold is now up for order!

Sideshow Exclusive Grey Hulk Premium Format Figure with Orange Shirt

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!

Kotobukiya ArtFX+ Black Widow Statue Released

Things have been pretty quiet on the Marvel Kotobukiya statues front ever since they released the Avengers Hulk ARTFX+ statue that I reviewed last month.

But while we’re still waiting for the pre-order and painted prototype photos of the last statue in the ARTFX+ Avengers Now lineup (Iron Man), we’ve got something new to get excited about–the second (and in my opinion, best-looking) of the Kotobukiya Avengers has now been released: the Kotobukiya Black Widow ArtFX+ Statue is now in-stock and ready to be ordered!

Bowen Designs Hela Statue Released & Photos!

Bowen Designs Hela Full-Size Statue

Some characters get more merch than others, whereas some characters only get merch on a cold day in Hel. And no, that’s not a type-o, as today I’m referring to the Asgardian ruler of Niffleheim and Hel itself: Hela! I’ve been both anticipating and dreading the release of the Bowen Designs Hela statue, as its arrival would mean that there was only one more Bowen Marvel statue on the way (perhaps forever). The day has come, though, and while the potential end of the Marvel Bowen Designs line still makes me nervous, the Bowen Hela statue is one glorious piece…

Green Hulk Premium Format Figure Sideshow Exclusive Edition Extra Head Portrait Sculpt

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!

Sideshow Jean Grey Premium Format Statue Revealed and Photos

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!
