A $1,000 Life-Size Skeletor Bust: Perfect For Your Castle Greyskull

Because no home is complete without a life-size supervillain bust, Sideshow has teamed up with collectibles studio Tweeterhead to produce this full-scale Skeletor bust. The piece is available for pre-order for $1,000 and Sideshow expects to ship sometime between October and December 2021. Just don’t plan on trying to snatch them all up to resell like PS5’s, because there’s a two-per-customer limit.

Measuring approximately 28″ tall, 17″ deep and 31″ wide, the bust includes a posable/removable fabric hood so you can display Skeletor in all his skully goodness should you choose to do so. Still, for $1,000 though I do wish his eyes lit up and you could press a button to make him laugh and/or joke on He-Man.

I think we can all agree Skeletor here is going to look fantastic gazing down upon my living room from the mantle. I mean, sure, grandma’s ashes will have to scoot over a bit, but I’m sure she won’t mind making room for a thousand-dollar bust of a kid’s cartoon character.

Life-size Baby Yoda Figure Is Ready to Play with Your Ship

There’s little question that Baby Yoda (aka “The Child”) is the most adorable character in the history of the entire Star Wars universe. This little dude walked on the scene, took one look at all of the ewoks, porgs, and roller-droids, and said “hold my beer.” Now, you can have your very own Baby Yoda to look up at you longingly with its big expressive eyes and horizontal green ears.

The guys at Sideshow teamed up with Legacy Effects to bring us this amazingly accurate, life-size version of The Child. The little dude measures 16.5″ tall, and looks exactly like his character in The Mandalorian. Every little detail is there, from the peach fuzz on his head to the subtle hues of his irises we barely noticed even on our big 4K screen.

The inquisitive figure comes swaddled in his furry brown coat, and holds a silver shift knob between his three-fingered hand, just like the one he plucked from Mando’s ship, the Razor Crest.

Priced at $350, the lifelike figure isn’t cheap, but that’s a far cry from the reported $5 million that it cost them to develop the puppet used on the Disney+ series. I’ve never spent that much on a collectible figure myself, but I’m prepared to drop that much to have Baby Yoda in my house. If you want Baby Yoda as much as I do, drop by Sideshow, and place your order today. He’s expected to start shipping this fall, sometime between August and October.

Hot Toys Darth Vader Special Edition 1/4 Scale Figure: The Dark Side Wants Your Dollars

Of all the Star Wars characters, the most iconic is probably Darth Vader. Lots of people who grew up on the original films were super mad when the updated version was released and our man Sebastian Shaw had his face replaced with shitty Hayden “#NotMyVader” Christensen. Hot Toys made this amazing special edition Darth Vader figure that is gigantic, highly articulated, and #IsMyVader.

The premium figure is nearly 20-inches tall, has 30 points of articulation, and includes ten different hands. Of particular note is the removable helmet, so you can see Sebastian Shaw’s face just as you did in the original cut of the film back in the day when Luke takes off Vader’s mask. One of the coolest things is that with the helmet off, you can see the battle damage to Anakin’s head, something you really didn’t see in the original film (at least not on the back of the head).

Vader comes with his armor suit, black cape, chest panel with LEDs, a functional belt with lights, and boots. You get the iconic red lightsaber in three forms and a Death Star Diorama. The Special Edition includes a helmet stand with lights. The statue will set you back $575 over at Sideshow Collectibles, with delivery expected in Q4 2019.

Sideshow Collectibles Batwoman Statue: Red & Black Cost a Lot of Green

Sideshow Collectibles recently unveiled a statue based on the gun-toting member of the Bat family, Kate Kane aka Batwoman. The stunning Premium Figure is depicted standing regally over the ruins of her Gotham apartment.

The 22.5″-tall statue is holding a Batarang, but for an extra $10 (USD) you can get an extra pair of hands that are armed with pistols.

You can pre-order the Batwoman Premium Format Figure for $500(USD).

Legendary Scale Darth Vader Figure’s Price Tag is Pure Dark Side

Our pal Darth Vader is a complicated character. He starts out as an innocent boy, and then becomes a Force-juiced killing machine of pure evil, before becoming nice again on his deathbed. If Vader is one of your favorite villains, you might want to add this massive Legendary Scale Darth Vader figure to your collection.

The 1/2-scale figure is very impressive, measuring in at 46″ tall. It has a detailed fabric costume with a cape and his all-important helmet. Vader also has a screen-accurate chest box and belt that light up. Vader has his hand outstretched in the force choke position, or maybe he is just reaching for his coffee.

As awesome as this thing is, the big rub is the price, this thing will set you back $2,550(USD) at Sideshow Collectibles. Fortunately, they also offer a payment plan, which will cost you about $300 a month until it comes out in Spring 2018.

Sideshow Collectibles Goes Behind the Scenes with Rey and BB-8 Figures

If you have ever lusted over the cool and expensive action figures and collectibles that Sideshow Collectibles offers and wondered how the hand-painted coolness comes together, check this out. This behind the scenes video at the toy shop shows how the Star Wars Rey and BB-8 premium format figures are painted and put together.

This looks like it would be a very cool job, assuming you have some artistic painting talent, which I lack completely. The video is only a bit over a minute long and if you like collectibles toys, you will want to watch it:

If you’ve ever questioned why figures like these cost hundreds of dollars, this video should set you straight on just how labor-intensive they are to make.

Starcraft Jim Raynor Action Figure is 16-inches of Articulated Awesome

The action figure has light up effects in the chest, engine vents, and gauss rifle. It also has the massive revolver Jim is famous for and a holster for it. The articulated armor has a removable helmet with retractable blast shield visor.

Sideshow even includes hair for Jim for times when he isn’t wearing the helmet. Power comes from four AAA batteries and a pair of LR44 batteries for the rifle. You also get a sniper rifle and the flexible wrist extends for rifle posing. This much Starcraft coolness will set you back $499.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

Harry Potter Monster Book of Monsters Replica: Expensivo Proptonum

Insight Editions made a replica of the one book that you should absolutely judge by its cover. The officially licensed Monster Book of Monsters replica looks just like the prop used in the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

According to MuggleNet, the replica’s appeal only extends to its appearance because it’s actually hollow inside. Fortunately, it comes with an actual book called Harry Potter: The Creature Vault, which contains information, art and pictures of the creatures in the Harry Potter films. You’ll also get two posters and “an interactive Eyelops Owl Emporium catalog.”

Stroke your wallet and pre-order the Monster Book of Monsters replica from Sideshow Collectibles for $295 (USD). I wonder if there are details about the book inside itself.
