Sideshow Snowtrooper

New $150.00 1/6 scale fully articulated Snowtrooper from Sideshow Collectibles.

It doesn't look right to me for some reason.

I'm not sure what it is.  Still, if it doesn't bother you, go grab one!  

Sideshow Chewbacca and Darth Vader

Sideshow is finally working on a Chewbacca.  It's something the fans have been clamoring for.



No other info yet.  While we're talking Sideshow Collectibles, I want to mention the Darth Vader Life Sized Bust.  It's impressive.



It's also $1199.99.  Eek.  However, you can flexpay at $300.00 a month until it's paid.  

Sideshow has the Classic Mumm-Ra for $15!

This is the 14 inch Mezco Mumm-Ra with 8 points of articulation.  Originally a $35.00 figure!

Snag him before Sunday!

Rebel Scum took some pictures of her at one of the recent cons.

Pretty sweet.

Thundercat Tygra

Pop Culture Shock has released a new Thundercat statue of Tygra. 

It is a mixed media statue, which means it's probably mostly polystone resin, a little bit of cloth on the costume &  metal used for the Bolo whip.  

It is listed as Limited Edition with the edition size still to be determined.  Sideshow Collectibles is selling it at $339.99.  Their super limited Sideshow Exclusive edition has a second head that can be switched out for the price of $369.99.  

It has a release date of March 2013, but you can pre-order right now & make payments to sideshow of around $75.00 a month.

Comic Con is ON, ya'll!

It's that time again kids!  Comic Con!  I am again, not there.  : (  One day.  Of course, I've heard a lot about how it's just a big merchandise venue now & no longer about comics & the comic writers & artists.  That's a little sad.  It is about the action figures though!  I've already seen a whole slew of awesome things being prepped & displayed.  I will update this post with exciting new awesomeness the rest of this week and into the weekend.

I can already show you a few things I've come across!

I've also learned that the Science Channel is going to film the Firefly panel at SDCC and turn it into a Documentary called "Browncoats Unite" and that it will be aired November 11, 2012 as part of an all day Firefly marathon on the Science Channel.

Very cool.

Quantum Mechanix has a beautiful Enterprise D that are showing off.  It's all glowy.

Ohhhh.....Ahhh.....

Thinkgeek announced Portal 2 guns.

Then there's this:

So yeah.  So far, some amazing stuff.

New Elvira Figure

We've had Elvira figures on here before, but this one is by far the best sculpt of the beautiful vamp to date. Offered up by Sideshow Collectibles, this figure is in their Premium format figure series.  This makes her a little pricey at $349.99, but the good news is that Sideshow has a great payment plan option & you can own the Mistress of the Dark for as little as $58.33 a month.  She's set for release in December & features a cloth negligee and a switch out hand, one of which is holding her tiny dagger.

This Elvira figure also comes with the coffin and the cool base with the candles & the skull!  All together, she stands at 20 inches high.

You can go pre-order it right now at Sideshow Collectibles!

Unpleasant Dreams Darling.

Darth Maul Mythos

Sideshow can't stop making Darth Maul statues that I want.  Every time they put one out I drool over it & then faint from the price.  Now, sculpting isn't an easy thing & poly-stone statues require a whole lot of sculpting, mold-making, etc.  It's a delicate & long process to create these things.  I get the cost.  It's nice to create art & get paid for it, & Sideshow has some really great sculptors working for them.  Their newest Darth Maul statue is inspired by the Star Wars Tale 'Nameless'.

This statue stands 18" high x 9.5" Wide & 9.5" Long

It weighs in at about 10 lbs.  

It comes with two different heads with different expressions.  One is a menacing expression & the other is the one you see above.  He has two sets of hands, one set has a hand holding a lightsaber & one set has one holding a staff.  

This statue is in 1:5 scale.  It is listed as limited edition, although the edition size has yet to be determined.  The release date is set for October 2012 & the price is listed at $249.99 with a payment plan option of $50.00 a month.  You could have it paid off before you get it!

Hot Toys Sixth Scale Thor

Wow!  The Avengers Film did exactly what I thought it would.  Kicked ass at the box office!  Over 200 million dollars opening weekend.  Internationally, this film has already made over $500 million dollars!  Awesome.  I haven't made it to the theater yet to see it.  Hopefully sometime in the next three or four days!

Avengers collectibles are sure to start flooding the market.  I've got one of the best ones right here.  Hot Toys, maker of incredibly amazing sculpts of you favorite heroes, has just released  their THOR sixth scale Movie Masterpiece Limited Edition figure for $199.99.

The amount of amazing detail & the materials that Hot Toys use to make the skin texture look so life-like make these the best sculpts on the market.  This figure has over 30 points of articulation, three pairs of changeable palms, a detachable red cape, figure stand with nameplate.  I can't find anywhere that a helmet is included though.  Some pictures show him wearing one, but it is not included in the descriptions.  It's possible they decided against the helmet later on in production.  That seems strange though.

You won't need to spend a dime on any other Thor figure if you spend the $199.99 on this one.  If you purchase it through Sideshow, you can use their payment plan & pay $50.00 a month instead of the big lump sum.

The artists that worked on this Thor figure were: Kojun (Sculpt) and JC Hong (Paint)
