Hi guys, I came across this auction on ebay for the Cave Troll Legendary bust, and the seller states that this is an unproduced sample. The paint job looks different than the pictures I've seen around here, so I was hoping some folks who own this bust can let me know if this is genuine or if...

Hi everyone, I am writing in regards to some discussion that has been going on regarding various lines with quality control issues. The Nam raised a good point in one thread that while we may all share pictures or our dissatisfaction with one another here on the message board, we may not...

This thread is designed to be a place for people to make the request to Sideshow to finish the Fellowship of the Ring characters in their Premium Format line. We have had some lively discussions in the Lord of the Rings forum about this topic, but rather than make assumptions about why Sideshow...

Hi everybody! My collection has been in a lot of flux over the last few years, so I haven't posted pics, but I think I am getting settled with a smaller collection that has a little more focus. I have a few more of the UC weapons to display (Elven Knife of Strider and Sting) but I am not...

For Sale - Star Wars, Lord of the Rings - Prices Reduced!! I have all of my Star Wars and Lord of the Rings collections for sale! I have had all of them opened for inspection and some of them for display. All items have been replaced carefully in the box. Some of the Star Wars items I got...

Since we have pages and pages devoted to the DC comics based toys and video games, I thought it might be okay to start a thread about DC titles on the shelves. I've been reading and really geeked out by the Grant Morrison stuff in the DCU. All-Star Superman is one of my favorite takes on...

I got to see the advance screening for Hot Fuzz on Monday night here in Chicago, and it was amazing. I highly recommend this movie, it was in keeping with Spaced and Shaun of the Dead and was hilarious throughout, and it may have been more violent and gory than Shaun. The entire cast was...

Hi everybody, I came across something while visiting with family this week that gave me an idea for a gift for my dad. I found pictures of my grandfather in his WWI uniform, and I looked and saw that Sideshow actually made this particular uniform in their military line. I thought it would...

Saw an article over at Figures.com that detailed who has the Halo license for toys for the near future. Looks like the guys who made the 6-scale toys dropped the rights, but Gentle Giant will be importing a Medicom made Master Chief!!! This might be the best news I've heard in a long time! I...

So Jabba is going to end up being the focal point for most SW collections for the foreseeable future, and I was thinking that maybe (over the course of many years so as to not drive me to the poorhouse) Sideshow might make a set like Jabba for each film. Any ideas as to what scenes for the...

This past year has had it's share of ups and downs for me, and a lot has changed, luckily almost all for the better. I got a new car, I asked my girlfriend to marry me (She said yes!), and I started working in a new field. Money is going to be tight for a while, and I am going to have to reign...

Hi everybody! I thought I would start a thread about the Corpse Bride figures that Sideshow will be importing. I actually got this line when Diamond Comics was importing the line through comic stores a little while back, and I ordered the whole set without having seen the film. I have the...

I have noticed a lot of threads, particularly with regards to the Star Wars line, and I was curious what people's interest is and how people might display "repeat" variant characters. For example, we have a Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight, but he could be an Endor Luke with a simple accessory pack...

Got my notice for Mace Windu today too! That makes Obi, Han, Mace, Robocop, and I am sure that Aragorn is right around the corner too! Sheesh! Good times for toys, bad time to be my wallet!

Sad from a heart-achingly cute perspective anyways.., My girlfriend has a hamster named after one of our favorite vampires, Spike! Unfortunately, Spike is getting older, and after a trip to the Vet today, we have another trip to make tonight to say goodbye to Spike. Spike developed a heart...

The last couple of days I have been looking around in the couple of model shops in my area to see if I could find a suitable Motorcycle for Arnie from T-2. A little digging turned up that it is a Harley Davidson "Fatboy", but I am not sure of the year. 1/6 models of this particular bike are a...

Since pre-orders are about to kick off on Thursday for attendees, I thought it would be cool to get a sense of who is going to be chasing what exclusives, and maybe we could help each other out if somebody misses out on something!:D

While I am glad that I have the hasbro 3 3/4 inch collecting monkey off my back, I had a lot of fun when collecting. I had a friend who also collected SW back in the day, and we used to drive around on days off trying to pick up stuff at obscure or remote toy stores, often with great success...

In light of all of the Star Wars excitement surrounding the new Jedi Luke figure, I had a strange opportunity to revisit the films. I work with a five year old little boy who has autism. During our two hour therapy sessions, we have little breaks throughout where he will play with Thomas the...

Any thoughts? I know they likely won't make a 1/6 scale Jabba or Rancor, but what are your thoughts about the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. Would your least likely figure not get produced do to sculpting/production issues (i.e. Sebulba, how would they ever make this?) or because the...
