The site I review for and work at is also covering TF.

They've updated with coverage of Sideshow now.

Thanks Josh, finally some good close up photos. GG stuff is very nice, probably my favorite of the offerings, but all eye candy because they are all so limited, no one can buy them. As far as sideshow stuff, medicom's RAH classic spiderman looks horrible as do carnage. The symbiote looks okay, I'm thinking about axing them. HT look very good and the new robocop is a standout. PF darkness really steals the show. I kinda like the VCD spiderman offerings, they were kinda cute. The new SW diaroma costs something like $280! ouch! The faces are first rate. Oh, Faramir rocks!

Great coverage there, Josh....

Better photos than Re...that other place :rolleyes: ...

Boromir looks fantastic...

The GG Clone Commander busts make me want to scream...they look great but unattainable...but I digress....

Good site, great coverage. Thanks!

[The Josh]

Thanks guys! I'll pass on the kind words to the folks working the show and if ya like come join us and be a part of the show.

Boromir does look fantastic! The flash isn't helping him but he looks good.

Yeah, getting all 5 even being a member of the PG could be a problem.

Yeah, the Medicom Spidey stuff doesn't look as good as I expected. Still nice but just not as good as I had thought it would be. The PF Darkness is freaking amazing! I'd get that if I had the space and money. Yeah, the Dio being $280 does kind of hurt.

The guys at Sandtroopers have finished their coverage check it out.

Where did they get those prices on the Master Replicas SS models? No one else is reporting them.

[The Josh]

I'd have to ask the guys that went to get that answer. I believe though they had an interview with MR.

The coverage is excellent, and so are the pics. Give my best to the guys, Josh!

However, this:

They were showing off the finished production piece for the new Jabba the Hutt statue and the Max Rebo band. We were also informed that if you purchase both items, there will be a coupon inside of each that you can send in to Gentle Giant to get Jabba’s Throne free!

is inaccurate. It's not the Throne that is free -- it comes with Oola, Jabba, and the Jawa -- but rather the (really good) Bib Fortuna statue.

I will Vlad these guys are great to work with. They really set the bar high for me when I go to SDCC to cover that show. I will also pass on that typo.

Thanks! They really had some neat scoops there, and the reports are well-written and to the point. :)
