Q.What’s the status on the Mara Jade Premium Format? I talked to Adam Hughes at Comic-Con and he said it should be happening shortly.

AH! Mara Jade

AH! Every time someone so much as whispers the possibility of an Adam Hughes design at Sideshow, the team here becomes giddy. Duels have been fought over who should receive the rights to bring it to life. It can become quite messy. We have been working on our presentation of Mara Jade, taking our time [...]

Q.Please take the time to answer a few good online Sideshow Q&A again. Will the Paratrooper Premium Format see daylight this year? I’ve ordered it from day one and still would like to receive it, but you guys have to admit this is one of the longest release times ever. Does Sideshow have plans for a second WWII Premium Format release? Best wishes!

Ask Sideshow thumb

Many thanks to our loyal collectors for your patience. The Battle of Crete: German Paratrooper Premium Format has been a true labor of love for the Sideshow team, as many of us are big military and history buffs with meticulous eyes for detail. As for news, we’ve recently posted updated galleries for this figure, which you [...]

Q.Can you explain what an artist proof is?

Ask Sideshow thumb

It is a small portion of the manufactured run reserved for special uses. Sometimes for contractual sample obligations, sometimes for the artists involved, sometimes for archive purposes. Artist Proof samples are rarely available to the public, and as such are often viewed as more valuable and desirable for the relative scarcity.

Q.Do you guys sell or can you recommend a display cabinet or shelving system for my 1:1 busts? I have 10 busts that I love and space and displaying them is something I need to resolve in order to get more. Please help.

Ask Sideshow thumb

A collectibles display is a very personal thing. Display solutions vary according to taste, budget constraints, and the type and quantity of the items on display – in your case, several life-size busts. We’re going to turn you over to the real experts here. There’s absolutely no one more qualified to help you answer that [...]

Q.I just picked up the Apatosaurus from you guys and I love it. I’m not finding a big selection of available Dinosauria Maquettes though. Is the line still going to go on?

Ask Sideshow thumb

We are still huge dinosaur fans at Sideshow, and not looking to let this line go extinct anytime soon. See for yourself, with this new announcement!

Q.What does Disney’s purchase of the Lucasfilm properties mean for Sideshow’s future products?

Ask Sideshow thumb

As fans, we could not be any more excited about this announcement! First off, new movies! We didn’t even dare to dream beyond the Prequel Trilogy, and now we learn of a whole new SLEW of films coming our way. The team here at Sideshow does not expect to know any official details anytime soon, [...]

Q.I loved the Premium Format of Dr. Zaius from the 1968 “Planet of the Apes,” and considering the rereleased Tim Burton movie “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” with Andy Serkis in the role of Caesar did very well and now there are more fans, would you consider bringing back this series with another statue? PotA fans would love to see something new from this saga! I would suggest George Taylor as played by Charlton Heston, and maybe Cornelius and Zira? Or from the Tim Burton film, Andy Serkis as Caesar, and perhaps Thade as played by Tim Roth?

We were thrilled to revisit the Planet of the Apes films this year in collaboration with Mondo, a collectible art boutique out of Austin TX. Take a look at our collection of prints commemorating the original series of films in the links below. Mondo’s team commissioned a different artist for each print, so each film [...]

Q.Hello Sideshow! I would like to know when we will see the Jake Sully Polystone Statue? My statue of Neytiri is impatient without his love! Please!

We see you. Jake Sully’s reveal will be here before you know it!

Q.What are the chances of the next four life size busts being Shaak-Ti, Battle Droid, Tusken Raider and Chewbacca? Could you also tell us when we might see a Production Peek or the next pre order?

Damn, those are some good picks. The next you’ll see from Star Wars in the way of Life-Size Busts will be Jango Fett. Look out for him closer to San Diego Comic-Con…

Q.I have the AVP mask set of Grid, Chopper and the Celtic. Will you also come with mask sets for Predator 1&2 or Predators in the same scale and materials as AVP? I like the style and have had beautiful reactions. Please, your customer from Holland.

Greetings to you in Holland! Sideshow is planning releases of the biomasks from Predator and Predator 2. We will keep you updated as progress comes down the pipeline and we have more to share.

Q.Any plans for an Echo and Fives 501st/ARC Trooper Sixth Scale set? Also, if you get around to Delta squad in Sixth Scale is there any chance their “T” visors will be light up BLUE? That would RULE and you guys know you can do it! ROCK ON SSC!

Man, right on and thanks for the encouragement! Echo and Fives have had some of the greatest stories out of the Clone Wars. We’ll probably end up releasing them as Phase 1 and Arc versions separately, but we love both looks enough that we want to eventually pay our respects to both. Delta Squad is [...]
