Sneak Peek: Sideshow ropes 'Indy,' debuts 'Buffy,' 'Godfather'

Sideshow Collectibles, one of the largest exhibitors at Comic-Con, has sent in exclusive news and sneak peeks at figurines and collectibles debuting in San Diego next week.

The Thousand Oaks-based company plans to unveil 70 new collectibles on the floor in their "museum style" booth.

They've also struck a new licensing deal with Lucasfilm to produce collectibles from all four "Indiana Jones" films.

Anyone crazy enough can now stick a life-sized bust of Indy right in the middle of the living room.

Meanwhile, Don Vito Corleone will be calling a meeting of the families down at Comic-Con -- all 16 lbs and 20" of him. They should hand those things out at the Oscars.

Some figurines are Sideshow's own design while others they distribute for friendly vendors. In the latter case, they're showing Electric Tiki's animated style Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the first 'toon version of Buffy to be released. Long live the Buffy! As you can see, this rendition is very, erm... perky.

Sideshow is also unveiling a line of wee little Hobbits, the new World of Warcraft line, not to mention a much-buzzed about 12" figure for Lucas and Star Wars. Code name: Storm Trooper on a Speeder bike. (I'm guessing they mean Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike)

For now, we'll just have to wistfully imagine what it looks like as we polish up our menacing white plastic armor and helmet for the masquerade. I want to see someone ride a life-sized version of a Speeder into the convention center.

Indy is easily one of the movie characters I'd like most as a 1/4 scale PF but beyond that I have no interest in a full line of products. The only thing that might change that would be some cool dioramas.

Indy in the snake pit from Raiders would be an amazing diorama. Another good one would be Indy and Henry tied in the chairs in the burning room from Crusade.

Interesting choices. I really like the snake pit idea.

Personally I would love something from the opening scene in Raiders. Indy holding his whip in one hand while prying the idol from Satipo's (Alfred Molina) skewered body would be sweet. Or the classic scene with him using the bag of sand as a counterweight as he steals the idol. There are lots of possibilities really. Even Indy fighting the bald Nazi on the tarmac around the plane would be cool.

I hope the 1:1 bust has real clothes too and not sculpted ones. They would be missing a very big opportunity to take it to the next level if the clothes were sculpted. Life size is the perfect size for clothes to look appropriate on a statue.

I would think everything would be sculpted.

Hopefully SS will surprise us.

I'd only probably be interested in a Indy PF from Raiders #1. While the CM looks fantastic, SS would suffice for 1/4 the $.

While I'm not sure if we'd get then, I would imagine SS will do a slew of 12 inchers:
Indy 1st costume (accessories to include the gold idol and Ark)
Schoolteacher Indy
Marion Ravenwood
Sallah
Belloq
Brody
Satipo (impaled :) )
The guy that looked like Peter Lorre that was going to brand Marion
Monkey Man with Nazi monkey
the big German Indy fought at the plane
the Arab in black with schimitar

Indy 2 (no jacket missing shirt sleeve)
Indy in white tux
Willy
Short Round
Mola

Indy 3 (don't know what the costume difference should be but I'm sure fans know)
Henry Jones
Elsa
The Nazi commander
Donavan
Young Indy (River Phoenix)
Grail Knight?

Dios
either Indy in front of the idol.
Indy running from the bolder
The final scene in Indy 1 with Indy and Marion tied to the stake and the Nazis opening the Ark

Don't buy 1:1, but an improved version of the one shown would be nice for collectors.

SebastianJ2

07-22-2007, 02:09 AM

I think in Last Crusade the main difference is that for the middle portion of the movie he wears a black tie with the Indy gear. I agree I'd love a diorama of Indy running from the boulder. Or a statue of him from Temple when hes released from the mind control curse and stands at the quarry opening standing in the tatterd outfit all back lit.

Yep, can`t see why they would not use real fabrics, as they did on Maul, Greedo and Yoda.
To me using real fabric would be a must, as it would work far better with the hat.
