I first found out about Sideshow Toy when I saw the first ad for the universal monsters figures….I thought they were some of the best sculpted figures I’d ever seen….only to wish for 1/6 figures which they eventually made since I used to have the old remco figures…the Star Wars announcement was just a dream come true first time has bro decided to share the license, and now I am hopeful for McQuarrie figures, new universal monsters in 1/6 and Arkham asylum/city stuff….just can’t get enough,,,

Just searching the interwebs for Star Wars figures. Was blown away at the high end stuff that is out there. Then started listening to the Preorder66 podcast. Quickly started collecting.

When I saw STAR TREK in 2009 I loved it so much I went on ebay to look for some Star Trek collectibles and I came accross the Kirk ans Spock Premium Format figures. I had to have them and when I discovered they were made by Sideshow I went to sideshowtoy.com and I got hooked.

In January of 2002 I bought my first action figure — I should point out it was my first action figure purchase as an adult of 33 years using my own money. That figure was the Sideshow 8″ Bride of Frankenstein. In a matter of weeks I went back and completed the full line of Sideshow Universal Monsters 8″ figures.

I thought I was done but then by that same summer of 2002 I couldn’t resist the 1/6 scale Sideshow Universal Monsters that had been released and were still flowing in. There was no turning back and I was a Sideshow junkie from then on. My passion solidified for Sideshow’s 1/6 scale line of products and I have never really stopped. At one time I cared less for specific licenses in favour of simply picking up any nicely crafted Sideshow 12″ figure.

I hadn’t heard of Sideshow prior to that winter of 2002, but then again I was also new to the toy/collectible hobby and Sideshow products were a fine thing of quality to pursue. I guess it was a nice introduction to jump through the gates of a new hobby with Sideshow along both as my companion and my pursuit.

I remember seeing pictures of the Saw doll and seen Sideshow. At the time all I thought was Sideshow Bob, then I finally put Sideshow in Google and found your website.

When I was very young I visited Disney Land the year it opened and went through the actual set for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the experience imprinted myself. My imagination has always been active and I found films to be an escape from life’s inevitable problems, at least for an hour and a half. One day I discovered Sideshow and bought my first piece and now I have dozens. To me film and Sideshow are like the famous line Bogart says in The Maltese Falcon when asked what it is all about. For me Sideshow is “The thing that dreams are made of.” You are and I could not be any more honest in answering your question. You are the thing that dreams are made of.

I bought the collectors set of The Avengers and it came with a gift card inside the box.
