Comic-Con 2012 Recap Part 2: Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars

Today, I have several of the pictures I took of the various Star Wars items at the Sideshow Collectibles booth during Comic-Con 2012. If you’re a Star Wars fan then you are in for a real treat with the number of items on display at this years show. I know I will be adding several of these items like the Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul Mythos statues. I will also be adding several of the 1:6th figures like Darth Malgus, Clones, Bossk, new Darth Vader, etc. It was a good year for Star Wars.

Sideshow Collectibiles Online Comic-Con Day 14

Star Wars fans again are gonna be happy with what we’ve seen today during day 14 of Sideshow Collectibles Online Comic-Con Event. The items up today are the Snowtrooper 1:6th figure and the 1:6th E-Web cannon. The Snowtrooper comes in with a price of $150, exclusive vintage blaster (exclusive only), and you can flex pay this item if you need to. The E-Web cannon also costs $150 with the flex pay but makes for a great partner piece for any Snowtrooper display. Both items are due to ship early next year! Look for more picture next week when I make it to Comic-Con.

Sideshow Collectbiles Online Comic-Con Day 13

Day 13 of Sideshow Collectibles Online Comic-Con turned out to be lucky for fans of The Lord of the Rings, DC, Star Wars and Avatar. Fans of The Lord of the Rings get to finally pre-order the Twilight Witch-King statue from The Fellowship of the Ring. This superb statue is a great counter part to the Ringwraith statue released previously in this range of collectibles. The Witch-King will cost $275 with a $27 NRD but you do have the Flex-Pay program to save up for the March 2013 release. Fans of the Star Wars Saga get a pre-order and a preview during day 13 of the event. The Pre-Order is the cooler of the Fetts in my opinion in Jango Fett with a 1:1 bust. This highly detailed bust will cost $800 with a $80 NRD as always you have the flex pay program to help defer the costs until the February 2013 release. The preview is for my personal favorite Jedi in the Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. No details other than this great preivew below but as soon as I get more info I will pass it on. DC fans get a preview of the upcoming Catwoman Legendary Scale Figure and Avatar fans get a preview of the life size bust of Neytiri.

Sideshow Collectibles Online Comic-Con Day 8

Day eight of Sideshow Collectibles Online Comic-Con event brings us the first Comic-Con Exclusive and a life-sized bust from the DC Universe. The first Comic-Con Exclusive up for order to anyone is Commander Fox from The Clone Wars series. Commander Fox is an in-stock purchase and will ship in 24 hours after the $135 is charged. The other item up today is another in the 1:1 bust line of DC characters from Sideshow. The next character fans can purchase is The Man of Steel himself Superman. This amazing bust was sculpted by Andy Bergholtz (a fellow Missourian) and I must say this is an awesome piece. Supes will set ya back $680 with a $68 NRD but does have the flex pay option to make things easier in order to get to the December 2012 release date.
