Why Sideshow???

[mlarsen]

...because they are producing Premium Format LOTR!!!

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

Because of their diverse 12" licenses and attention to detail.
Bring on a "Doctor Who" line!

I started collecting Sideshow the day they announced they were producing the "Planet of the Apes" line.

Then I got hooked on their Hellboy stuff...

Then on their Premium Format Star Wars figures...

Then their impending 12" Star Wars lines...

And finally I cannot wait for those 1/4 PF Hobbits!

This domino effect is killing my wallet!

Though the Ape line may opened the door, it is Sideshow's commitment to quality on every level that has kept me at Sideshow's doorstep. I believe they have the greatest stable of artists and sculptors in the business. Their graphics design team is umatched. Thanks to them, I CAN NOT throw away any of their damn boxes!

And I forever wait for Sideshow's new license announcements... hoping against hope that they have landed yet another film or TV favorite property.

I came for the Universal Monsters. I stayed for the quality, but I really miss the UM 8 inch, and I'm worried about the UM 12 inch.

I would agree with Slayerverse98, it was the Buffy range that got me really hooked on Sideshow 12" although I had already started to collect the Bond figures.
Over time I have added the X Files and Highlander figures, as well as some Universal monsters to my slowly expanding collection as Buffy releases have slowed down somewhat. I also have one premium format figure and some statues. I have no doubt that I will collect some (probably most) of the Star Wars 12" and selected premium format LOTR (I have the 3 NECA 18" figures and for the price, they are awesome.)

However, I do have one rather major whinge. Do Sideshow have a problem with authority figures? We have a Q, but no M (or Moneypenny) in the Bond range, we have Mulder and Scully but no Skinner in the X Files range and most importantly, (especially when you read this thread and see how many people were originally drawn to S/S by Buffy,) we have no Giles. I believe Brant said he was "top of a list." Well please get him off the list and into the box! Before Dave tells me he won't sell I would check any forum relating to S/S's Buffy line and the absence of Giles is a major complaint.

I have an "ancient" Playmates Star Trek 12" collection which is incomplete because one crew member was never released. I have a major fear that my Buffy? Bond / X Files collections will end up similarly scarred!

Dude, I'm firmly in the "Giles" camp!



Right after they do Sweet....
