Sideshow has brought Medicom’s VCD line to our shores (I guess I should clarify…the US), and the newest release in their Disney-based line is the Mummy Mickey VCD. That’s actually how most of my attempts at painting and/or wallpapering turn…
Sideshow has announced that they will be distributing the Medicom produced R2-D2 VCD (Vinyl Collectible Doll). The piece is 8″ tall and has a stylized look to it. While I think it looks great, I’m waiting for a 1:6 scale…
Am I the only one who had hoped they would have simply remade 1987’s G.I. Joe: The Movie as the upcoming (August 2009) live action G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra? Well, Sideshow is getting on the Joe bandwagon early, as…
As if Sideshow couldn’t announce anything bigger than a Darth Vader 1:6 scale figure, they also had to go and drop that they’ll be releasing a 1:6 scale Stormtrooper. Again, the exclusive version sold out quickly, but the regular version…
Sideshow has gone and made a lot of us a little poorer. They released their Darth Vader 1:6 scale figure (and the already sold out exclusive version). Star Wars fans have been clamoring for a Sideshow version of the Sith…
The Sideshow booth is always one that I venture by with guarded anticipation…it’s mostly guarded because I know the old bank account will be taking a hit in the coming months. This year, they announced what might be my favorite…
Sideshow’s latest 1:6 scale Star Wars figure is Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. You might remember him from Star Wars Episodes I through III. Remember…he was a member of the Jedi Council? One of the creepier characters, for sure.

Sideshow is showing off Medicom’s 12″ tall Sweeney Todd RAH figure. From the film starring Johnny Depp, the piece looks to be an amazing replica of the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Does anyone need a shave?

This is one babysitter you probably wouldn’t want to hire to watch your kids. Sideshow’s Subject 1025: The Babysitter will be made available at Comic Con 2008. But if you can’t make it out to the show, there’s still a…
Being a fan of G.I. Joe for over 20 years, I was very excited to see that Sideshow would be releasing a line of Joe-related 12″ figures. I used to collect the 1980’s Hasbro figures when I was a kid,…
