Hey all… I know this is mainly a Predator related collectibles website, but I like quite a few movies and I am really impressed with the awesome stuff coming out of Sideshow so I wanted to show some of my favorite items as they get released. Next week is SDCC so I know they have a PILE of new items coming (can’t wait to see what Predator goodies they are planning) but there’s some killer new stuff in the last couple of weeks. For those of you that are in to Hellboy, check out the BIG BABY!

Sideshow is proud to bring you the Big Baby Life-Size Prop Replica from Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The Big Baby Prop Replica features six removable shells and a musical wind-up feature that plays the tune Lullaby and Goodnight, and comes complete with a sturdy display base. The Big Baby Life-Size Prop Replica is the perfect addition to any collection, a reflection if Sideshow’s dedication to quality.

I’m sorry, but this thing absolutely ROCKS, it’s insanely cool. I especially love the little baby bottle shotgun shells. You can check out all the pics and information and preorder by clicking here on the Sideshow product page. If this is a tad too rich for your blood, check out the new 1:4 scale version they just released for $64.99 by clicking here!

They also have a HUGE full size bust of the Angel of Death, full size prop replica of the Right Hand of Doom, and even a Hellboy full size bust! Check it out for all the goodies, they’ve got Hellboy fever at Sideshow!

For you Transformers fans *raises hand* looks like PopBox is following up on their very cool Bumblebee scaled bust with this KICKASS Optimus Prime bust!

Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the Optimus Prime Electronic Bust by PopBox! The ultimate manufacturers in the electronic bust format showcases the Transformers Movie favorite Optimus Prime - a true CG replica of the Autobot with mechanical intricacies. This highly accurate, movie-real, super detailed robotic bust stands just over 11 inches high atop a decorative Sector 7 shaped base with Autobot logo. Comprised of over 40 separate ABS plastic and die-cast metal components for highly accurate realism and detailed production, the Optimus Prime bust easily transforms from normal to battle mode with a detachable mouth shield. Each piece features light sensor activated light-up LED eyes and includes a voice recorder to play back your favorite movie character scenes (3 AAA batteries required - batteries not included). The robotic Optimus Prime bust is sure to be the centerpiece of any Transformers display.

Needless to say, I’ve got mine on order as this will probably sell out fast. I’m on the Bumblebee Waitlist, so hopefully I can get my hands on both! If you want to check out more photos on Optimus or place an order with Sideshow, click here for the product page!

And finally, for the Lord of the Rings folks, Sideshow has released a brand new premium format Moria Orc statue that looks as cool as the Lurtz statue, which is the only Lord of the Rings piece I own.

The Moria Orc Premium Format figure is a stunning 1:4 scale reproduction. Standing 20 inches tall atop the display base, the Moria Orc posed in the heat of the battle, ready to attack any man, hobbit, or wizard foolish enough to enter Moria. Each figure is hand-painted and hand-finished, and individually hand-numbered for authenticity. This stunning figure is an outstanding addition to any The Lord of the Rings collection - reserve yours today!

Yep, you guessed it, I ordered one of these as well… I really LOVE the Lurtz statue, so I think this new Moria Orc will fit in nicely next it him. If you want to see all the pics and info on this bad-boy, click here!

That’s about it for the Sideshow update this week… can’t wait to see what happens at SDCC! I’m also hoping to hear more about the Cinemaquette Predator, would be nice to get some kind of approximate ship date for those things. We’ve only been waiting 4 YEARS!

Enjoy!
Dan
