NEW PREORDERS:
--------------

Below is a nice batch of new items from Sideshow spanning many licenses, from Star Wars to Chucky!

LORD OF THE RINGS - 12" LEGOLAS: The second figure in Sideshow's new 12" lineup will be Legolas Greenleaf. Another extremely well detailed figure with great looking weapons and a nearly perfect face mold. Preorders available now at $62.99

STAR WARS - MACE WINDU 12" FIGURE: Sideshow keeps rolling these out and they keep selling out quickly - get your Mace Windu reserved now at $47.99

STAR WARS 'VSD' VINYL SUPER DEFORMED: Produced by Medicom in Japan, Sideshow is distributing these in the USA, very fun figures priced at $54.99 each. Darth Vader and Stormtrooper each have oversized heads, feet, and hands - definitely a different look for them, but the figures are attractive and balanced even with the oversized appendages.

CHUCKY: There has been a Chucky drought for quite a while, but he's
finally back! Sideshow brings us the standard version of Chucky for $45.99 - he stands 15" tall and brandishes a carving knife. We also have the Bride of Chucky version listed at $45.99 - this is basically the same figure other than the horrible gaping wounds on his face.

SAW - 30" JIGSAW PUZZLE: A creepy release based on the recent horror movies - this puppet is priced at $209.99 - take a look.

REAL ACTION HEROES: Sideshow brings us a few more Medicom products, the RAH Wolverine and Venom figures previously available only in Japan are now up for preorder at $104.99 - more highly poseable 12" figures.

REIGN OF FIRE - DRAGON MAQUETTE: Even if you didn't love the movie, this Dragon Maquette is worth a close look. The dragon is captured in an open-mouthed roar so tons of teeth are showing and everything is highly detailed, this item is fairly expensive at $329.99, but great for any big dragon fans.

MARVEL ARCHIVE - CAPTAIN AMERICA WEAPONS SET: This will hopefully be the first of many weapons sets for all the Marvel heroes. We have this item priced at $74.99 - a very cool display of Captain America's shield and helmet along with a pedistal base.

TERMINATOR 1:2 SCALE T800 ENDOSKELETON: If the 1:1 scale Endoskeleton from Sideshow is a bit out of the price range, here is a half-sized offering at one-third the price! Sideshow's 1:2 scale version stands about 3 feet tall and features glowing red eyes - up for preorder now at $1999.99. We also have the 1:4 scale verison in stock for $499.99

JOHN WAYNE PREMIUM FORMAT FIGURE: The Duke gets Sideshow's premium treatment in this new 'Western Hero' statue that stands about 20" tall! Available to preorder now at $234.99

ANGEL: A new Angel figure is up for preorder at $42.99 - with black leather trenchcoat and wrist action retractable stake.

INSANELY TWISTED RABBITS: The fourth installment based on Michel Gagne's artwork is up for preorder at $54.99 - the 'Evil Grin' rabbit is much bulkier than previous rabbits.
