San Diego Comic-Con – Sideshow
We thought we had a good idea of what Sideshow would debut at Comic-Con but they still had a few surprises for us.
1:6
Darth Malgus was probably the biggest. Sideshow gave us a look at a Premium Format version back on the 1st, but pulled a fast one and also debuted a 1:6 scale figure last night.
The new Darth Vader from Return of the Jedi is also on hand
Mythos
Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi have both been shown previously, but we’d only seen artwork of Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Lomrokk until now. And we’re blown away with this line of statues.
Darth Vader and Boba Fett both feature extremely dynamic poses while Lomrokk looks totally badass with his huge axe. But, we have to go with Darth Vader as the winner of this line so far. If you’re looking for something a little different but still want a signature piece for a collection, this Vader would probably be it.
Premium Format
Some of the Premium Format statues have already been up for pre-order, like R2-D2 and C-3PO, Captain Rex and Aayla Secura, but Sideshow also has the new Darth Malgus and a Force Unleashed version of Shaak Ti in the booth.
After missing out on the Darth Talon, we’re seriously considering the Shaak Ti.
Life-Size
Sideshow’s new Jango Fett bust has been up for sale for a couple of days but SDCC attendees get a first look at the real thing in person this weekend.
Not be outdone by his dad, the Boba Fett life-size statue is also on display along with his bounty, Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
