Sideshow Collectibles, Movies/TV & Comics Collectible Merchandise

Sideshow have cemented their place in the higher echelons of collectible memorabilia since their inception in 1994. Specifically manufacturing high quality licensed items, their catalogue has grown to be both respected and comprehensive over the years, boasting some extremely attractive pieces taken from the icons of genre TV and Film.

Well known for the sheer quality of their items, it is plain to see in each and every piece that they are sculpted by people who know and understand the characters they are depicting. Where many manufacturers will settle for a rough approximation of a character for their figure lines, Sideshow always go that extra mile, and actually put the character themselves into each sculpt and every accessory. This is in turn reflected in the demand for their collectibles, which is consistently strong right across their range. It isn't just figural pieces that they offer either- an excellent range of high-end movie prop replicas is also available, such as blasters and lightsabers from the STAR WARS movies.

Another area in which their sculptors excel is in facial likeness to the subjects they are depicting. Their range of 12 inch Star wars dolls is a perfect example of this- their attention to detail in facial features is astounding. Take their Princess Leia doll from the Heroes of the Rebellion range for instance. The recreation of the youthful Carrie Fisher is superb, every nuance of her face an eyes is impeccable. The same goes for her hair, fabric costume and blaster, recreated just as they were seen in Episode IV: A New Hope. The doll is presented in a superb window-display box with a fold-out front piece and all the relevant accessories, as well as a sturdy display stand. The packaging is immaculate, which is the norm with Sideshow. Everything they produce is of such a high standard that their name has become a byword for excellence in the industry.

The recognition of Sideshow as a manufacturer of high regard isn't just a fan opinion- the company has been awarded 'Best of the Year' many times for their 12 inch figures and beautifully created polystone statues.

Many licenses are catered for and have been catered for by Sideshow. Superior quality collectibles have been made depicting characters from the Lord of the Rings, the Marvel comics universe, Star Wars, the James Bond franchise, sci-fi legends Aliens and Predator, horror series Friday the 13th, the SAW movies, Child's Play/Chucky, Universal Studios Classic Monsters, Terminator, Indiana Jones, TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the X-Files, gaming sensation World of Warcraft, and many more.

It isn't just tie-in memorabilia that Sideshow have made their name with, though. They also produce their own range of 12-inch collectible figures and accessories, including The Dead (zombies!!!) and the beautiful and historically accurate brands Bayonets & Barbed Wire (based on elements from the first world war), Brotherhood of Arms (covering the American Civil War) and Six Gun Legends (famous- and infamous- western characters).

Sideshow Collectibles' items are currently sold specifically in speciality shops the world over and in some great online Movie/TV & Comics collectibles stores, and their ranges have found a very special place in the hearts and minds, not to mention the shelves, of fans everywhere.
