Tonight’s Sideshow Collectibles newsletter brings us the next Premium Format from the Star Wars license. This character for many fans of the Star Wars Universe may just be the sexiest of the Jedi Order. Aayla is probably one of the most well known Jedi and one of the most popular. So for fans of this character this works well for her finally getting the PF treatment. She is going to go up for order next week during Sideshow’s newsletter. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

The Avengers is sure to be one of 2012 biggest and best movies for at the very least comic fans around the world. Well, the folks at Hot Toys have announced the first figure from this film and the character is the leader of Shield Nick Fury. The preview doesn’t show the sculpt but knowing Hot Toys it will most likely be one of the best Samuel l. Jackson sculpts we’ve seen. As soon as it goes up for order or more pics show up I will let you all know.
Today, I have for your viewing pleasure a review of the Sideshow Collectibles Battle Droid 2-Pack. These were first shown around Comic-Con last year looking very impressive and came out in production as good. The 2-Pack really shows the steps Sideshow has taken in what they’re willing to give a go in 1:6th scale and that they will be willing to tackle more complex projects. This Droid set comes in with a price tag of $120 but includes two figures making it a great price of only $60 per set. The Exclusive set has a wait list which includes the special 1138 backpack, but the regular version of the set is listed as in-stock and can be shipped to your door in 24.
As always here’s the review and pics. Thanks for watching.

The character announced is Bane what appears to be the main villain in the film. Now, in this preview we don’t get a facial shot nor when this will go up but we at least fans know who to expect first from this movie. As soon as it goes up I will let you know.

Another review for ya today and this time it will be from the world of Indiana Jones. This figure from Hot Toys is not just one of the regular MMS figures but a DX figure with plenty of options. Indy comes with multiple outfits, hands, stands, a backdrop, etc to give you different looks for Indy. All of this makes the $250 price tag worth it when you can do so much with a one of the best movie characters ever. This figure is still available from Sideshow Collectibles and if you’re a U.S. collector you will also get free shipping.

If you’re a fan of DC then the last day of the 12 days of Sideshow brought a great bit of news.

Today, I’ve got another review for you and this time it comes from Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars 1:6th figure line. The character I have for you is Commander Gree who you might remember when Order 66 came down was supposed to kill Yoda but managed to lose his head. This clone is maybe the hardest one for Sideshow make so far because of the complicated camo pattern but it came out really well done. If you’re a fan of the Clones like me this is a must and if you make this your first Clone then congrats.
