Sideshow rare products...

[lcummins]

I got to thinking about the low edition size products that Sideshow has produced over the years and decided to put together a list. I capped it at an edition size of 100 (although some might think anything less than 500 is low). Here is what I came up with; if anyone can think of any I missed (and I'm sure I did), post it...

No... I have (or have had) only 25 (including PZ PF) of the 41. I'm sure someone out there has/had more.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Great list - I had no idea there were so many with low edition sizes.

I don't think they every publicized the edition size, but I'd throw on the Holiday Frank and Holiday Drac. Holiday Frank wasn't available for purchase, but Drac was.

 

[Ben]

yay, i learnt something. i didnt know there were so many low edition's.

Great pics, Andrew

Congrats!

 

[Hydeous]

MOAR!!!!

 

[furystorm]

Great pics, Andrew

Thanks Fel! I go back and forth on these. They are too expensive for me to keep, but I just like them too much to part with them. As long as I can secure a CFTBL SSE, then I'm in for life!

 

[Boba Fett]

Patient Zero Premium Format Figure Exclusive - 100 pieces

That is the only rare piece I will have in my collection when the time comes.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Lonnie has a big ass camera, but rarely ever takes pictures of his ^^^^...very annoying.

I just don't have the time or setup to really take good pictures and I don't want to post bad ones! But I do have a few...

4405C Holiday Dracula Signed by Bela Lugosi Jr. 150 12" Figure

Okay, not so rare after all.

 

[lcummins]

Okay, not so rare after all.

The signed Dracula seems rarer than 150, but it just may be that most are in collections and aren't going anywhere...
