Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars Celebration Orlando Booth

Sideshow Collectibles showed off multiple scales of collectibles from their 1:6 action figures all the way to the life-sized statues including Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and their new Han Solo in Carbonite. The Hot Toys case was full of recent and upcoming 1:6 figures including the newly announced Jyn Erso (Imperial Disguise Version), Emperor’s Royal Guard, and Assault Tank Commander.

One thing we were interested in seeing was the new Premium Format Chewbacca statue because it looked from the online photos to be very similar to the previous release but with an upgraded base. We asked at the booth and were told that there were some minor updates to the posture of the statue and the paint apps were updated from the previous release. While they didn’t specifically say yes or no on it being new, it’s fair to say it’s a slight upgrade with new paint and base so plan accordingly when deciding to buy. We will say that new or not, it’s an impressive piece and if you love Chewbacca and want an excellent statue, visit Sideshow’s website and take a look.
