Good evening fellas! As usual, Thursday night is Sideshow night (and hockey night, Go Habs Go!) and tonight I wanted to share with you a new piece that is selling very quickly due to awesomeness AND price, as well as something really unique and unexpected from last week that is still available… we’ll start with the new Uruk-Hai LSB!

This awesome new piece is the latest Lord of the Rings collectible from Sideshow, and it’s a BADASS Uruk-Hai Legendary Scale Bust, which is due to ship around 4th Qtr 2009. Here are the basic stats and info from the Uruk-Hai product and order page:

Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents the Uruk-hai Legendary Scale Bust, the latest addition to The Lord of the Rings series. Sword in hand poised to strike, the Uruk-hai Legendary Scale Bust stands 20 inches high, captured in the heat of battle.

I have to admit, I’m not all that big on LOTR stuff, but I LOVE pretty much all the Troll and Orc stuff… it’s a real shame they screwed up the Moria Orc PF clothing, would have looked great with my Lurtz! Anyhow, if you’re an LOTR fan you should definitely pick this up, especially considering an excellent MSRP of $200 USD.

Next up is something I honestly was not expecting and I thought it was a fantastic idea. He’s been the subject of the classic internet meme “It’s a Trap!” for years and has been a cult favorite for many Star Wars fans the world over… he’s Admiral Ackbar!

This is a FULL SIZE bust, check out the stats:
