What was the first ever SideShow collectible and some other early pieces?

[Kabukiman]

Really? I found a few things they did on him. A life size bust and 2 different statues.

That's the first PF, but as has been mentioned, they did garage kits and the like before that.

This thread reminds me...
A while back I was wondering why Sideshow doesn't have the release date on the product pages.
It'd be a simple thing to turn:

Est. Ship Date: March 2011
Limited Edition: 400

into:

Released: March 2011
Limited Edition: 400

...instead of just deleting the first line altogether.

I agree. It would be easy enough to do and be kind of nice to know when stuff was actually released.

The very first polystone statue sideshow ever released was an unpainted, unlicensed ‘Schlitzie the Pinhead’.

I had no idea who Schlitzie was but after a quick wiki he/she was quite interesting.
