Sideshow Collectibles Update

July 19, 2004 - Sideshow Collectibles has announced many new products recently, and will be unveiling many more at the San Diego Comic-Con later this week.

If you can't attend the convention, you can still get a taste of what is happening via Sideshow's WebCams, which will be "broadcasting live" from their booth at the convention. They will also be posting interviews with celebrities and holding live chats in which participants can win some of Sideshow's Comic-Con exclusives.

Here are a few of the items announced recently:

- Lord of the Rings Sauron Helm - 1:4 Scale Replica

- 1:4 Scale Jason from Freddy vs Jason - including the base, this piece is 21 inches tall.

Frank Black, later featured on the series Millennium, is also available in a limited edition (on Sideshow's web site) that includes a Bible for the figure. Agent Doggett also has a Sideshow web-store exclusive limited edition featuring a suit and trenchcoat instead of a tactical gear outfit.

- Three new Planet of the Apes pieces:


- Terminator 2: Judgement Day 1:4 Scale Endoskeleton - this version of the T-800 stands 19 inches tall and has light-up eyes.
