Unproduced Sideshow Products

[lcummins]

I thought it would be interesting to archive information about Sideshow products that never made it to production or were drastically changed from the prototypes.

I left out the Sideshow/Weta LOTR items because they are very well known and documented in other places. I also didn't include several pieces from the Diane auctions if they weren't too different from the final products (just paint or with a light feature, etc.)

So, here is what I've come up with so far... let me know if you have info on any of these products or any that are missing, and especially, post pictures if you have them. I am most interested in "official" Sideshow pictures of any of these products if they exist!

Universal Monsters - 8" Glow-in-the-Dark Action Figures Series 2 (Creature, Bride, Phantom)

Yes, but were these ever prototyped and shown? I'm talking about products that were publicly displayed at Toy Fair or Comic Con or were pre-ordered, but just never produced in the end.

They actually had the Monkeybone license.

 

[ProgMatinee]

oooooooooh you mean I need legit info? nevermind.

Seriously, I'd be curious about the "story" on some of those.

Yeah, they actually released the Little Big Heads and a 10" plush, but as far as I know, the rest of the line didn't get made.

Considering that movie flopped big time, I am surprised any of it got released.

Sideshow knew that too! Back in 2002, on their own web pages they mentioned that the movie bombed, but that you could still own some cool collectibles... at a discount on their Super Sale page! They even closed out the plushes by trying to sell two together at a discount. The product page still exists!!!

Sadly, no! I would love to, but I think they are all at Sideshow! The closest I get would be the unpainted Dracula bust from the Diane auction.

Awesome stuff Lonnie. Thnx for making the thread

Wish the Tap figures would have been made

No problem! I hope others know of more products and have pictures!

A lot of people wanted that second series of Spinal Tap figures and thought we were getting them last year with that deluxe CD package that was released, but they turned out to be paper dolls or something like that.

Too bad. I thought maybe some of them may have escaped and ended up in collectors' hands.

They actually talk about it on their appearance on Conan:

I remember the fiasco, I was one of the one who thought we might finally be getting them
