Thor Premium Format Figure
Bowen brought out a Thor statue quite a few years back, and it's now one of the hottest second-hand statues on the market. With the announcement that there's a movie in the works, this statue could be the next big thing.
Last Daughter of Krypton Framed Print (Adam Hughes)
I was quite surprised when I saw this on offer at Sideshow. Adam Hughes is one of the best (if not THE best) artisits of the female form alive today (he reinvigorated Wonder Woman almost single-handedly!). A very nice collector's piece.
Alien Pile Statue
Giger's design for the Alien still amazes me, and every creepy alien since seems to have elements of his creature. This piece highlights why the design was so effective... such a beautiful organic shape, and even standing still it looks lethal.
The Thing Premium Format Figure
This has to be the best statue of The Thing yet. I wish the designers from the movies would look at this artwork and design the suit to match -- he's not supposed to be a fat lump!
Indiana Jones Exclusive 12" figure
The world's gone Indy mad, highlighted by the fact that this is currently Sideshow's most popular product. Yes, there are much better products in their catalogue, but this does a pretty good job of satisfying the casual collectors.
Blood Elf Rogue VS Draenei Paladin diorama
I was sceptical when they announced they were bringing out "official" World of Warcraft statues -- the game models themselves are so rough, how could they translate to a collector's piece? Fortunately, they've produced something really special -- the kinetic energy in this diorama is palpable.
Fell Beast VS Eagle - Battle Above the Black Gate diorama
Just exceptional. They're not your typical LOTR characters, but the artwork in this will keep it on the desirable list for a long time. Sideshow has it as "sold out" at the time of writing, but they may offer a second chance.
Elvis Premium Format Figure Exclusive with Guitar
I'm not really a huge Elvis fan, but I was pretty impressed with this statue. Undoubtedly a collectors' piece, and should be worth quite a bit in years to come.
Abe Sapien Maquette - 1/3 Scale
I'm not sure why (maybe it was Nile's voice from Frasier!) but this character really appealed to me. Very nice (and big!) statue.
Premium Format Elektra
Interesting... I bought the Bowen statue on eBay just before the movie hit the screens, and this is the only red-suited version I've seen since. Notice how the face is very Garner-esque. A good thing? I'm not sure... but certainly a lovely statue.
Captain America Premium Format
I love this statue. And now that Cap is dead, it will walk out the door. Buy it before they sell out (I did!).
Luke and Yoda on Dagobah Premium Format Sideshow Exclusive
I don't think Mark Hamill ever looked as good as when he was training in the Dagobah swamp. A very nice piece.
Iron Man Legendary Scale Bust
Another of my favourites, and done extremely well. With the movie in full-swing, it would be worth stocking up on the better Iron Man merchandise now.
X-men VS Sentinel Diorama #2 -- White Queen & Beast
I've never really collected dioramas, but this one is worth noting because of the White Queen: rumour has it she'll be making a big rebirth in the Marvel Universe soon. Nice outfit too.
