Sideshow and Medicom aren’t making it very easy for me to save my hard-fought Benjamins, now that they’re re-releasing the amazing RAH Rocketeer 1/6th figure in a new, sexy Version 2.5.

It being a week until that Hallmark of holidays, Valentine's Day, we got together with Sideshow Collectibles and decided depending on how things go, some of our readers might need a magic pill. According to Urban Dictionary, Black Beauties induce mild to moderate euphoria, and we're hoping to pass that on to one lucky reader. The 8-inch Black Beauty edition of Medfed's Dolly is a Sideshow exclusive, limited to just 84 pieces. To get your prescription, make up a pill you wish existed and leave it as a comment below.

Even as someone who’s not a fan of movie-based figures, and as a morally steadfast guy who can’t see the appeal of gangsters, and even as one of the few sheltered people left in the world who has never seen The Godfather, Hot Toys’ upcoming Don Corleone figure is pretty freakin’ amazing. The 1/6th scale figure [...]

Once again, a property that I passed up during my childhood because I was playing with butterflies instead of imaginary machine guns comes back to haunt me. Maybe it’s the references made in The Venture Bros., or maybe it’s my secret desire to be a faceless drone in an evil machine (which doesn’t mesh [...]

Modern pirates everywhere just got a little tingly. Arrrr! Sideshow Collectibles has revealed images and details on their upcoming Blackbeard Premium Format figure. For the uninitiated, ‘Premium Format’ implies a sculpted, 1/4th scale polystone figure, richly clad in fabrics and cast elements to replicate as authentic an experience as possible. Noble and frightening, Blackbeard comes with [...]

Comic-Con is now just a happy memory, but I had to post these pictures. Seen at the Sideshow Collectibles booth, these customized Darth Vaders were unbelievably cool. They’re not for sale, so they were just there for visual enjoyment. My favorite was this Run DMC Vader – complete with a mic and turntable. I’m kicking [...]

And it begins. It’s day one of Comic Con, and already I’m overwhelmed. This is my first time to be out here, as I’ve never been able to justify the expense, but damn, what a day for seeing some amazing things. Let’s try and run down some of the list. Skeletal Carnival 3 [...]

Sideshow Collectibles and Bowen designs have been doing some cool stuff with the faux-bronze paint scheme. Their Captain America, Wolverine, and Dr. Doom were pretty damn rad. This time around they’re releasing Odin, his boy Thor, Spidey, and Daredevil with the same bronze look. The Spidey and Daredevil look great. Spidey [...]

Is all the talk about salmonella making you freak out about tomatoes? I admit that I’m a bit more careful about consuming salsa these days. I think it’s ironic that Sket One recently announced the new version of his Buckeye Rot. Is it coincidence or just perfect timing? Either way the Buckeye Rot will soon [...]

Another new San Diego Comic Con release from Sideshow Collectibles! This time it’s a 12 inch Aayla Secura figure from Star Wars. Apparently she’s a Jedi badass, a general, and duel lightsaber wielding maniac, but I only remember her as getting blasted in the back by a clone trooper at the end of [...]

Living Dead Dolls by Mezco Toyz take the prize as the creepiest collectibles ever. I love horror movies, but I’m scared of these vinyl figures. I thought Series 15 was creepy, but the upcoming series 16 takes it to another level. If you watch enough horror films, you know that kids can be scary characters. [...]

Sideshow Collectibles showed a sneak peek at the Bruce Lee Premium Format Figure. Even though it’s only a glimpse, I think it looks awesome. I’m glad that they did something other than the yellow jumpsuit from Game of Death. I don’t dislike that iconic look, but it has been overexposed. After reading a few of [...]

Until I saw “Horton Hears a Who,” I wasn’t too interested in the Horton the Elephant vinyl by Super Rad Toys. After I watched it, I had to take another look at the Horton vinyl. After disasters like “The Cat in the Hat,” I had been concerned about whether “Horton” could translate well to the [...]
