This is really a hard one because these pieces are getting better and better. I will answer only according to what I have actually owned.

BEST SIDESHOW PIECE: Sil 1:4 from Species Movie
WORST SIDESHOW PIECE: Black Widow - Scarlet Johansen

The Sil is immaculately painted and has amazing detail so is easily one of my favorites. The Black Widow is very nice in its own right but had a number of issues that I wasn't all that pleased with so I sent it back and have ordered the comic version Black Widow instead.

Of my 11 upcoming purchases, I'm assuming that my top 3 will definitely be Queen of the Dead, Red Sonja, and Captain America, in no particular order. I am also very excited to get Superman!

best: joker pf - i love all the statues i have but even the gambit pf and spiderman comiq and every other one has at least one little tweak id like to make and then it would be perfect in my eyes. the joker pf is perfect as is, i don't see one thing that could be improved upon

worst (seems a little harsh): in my collection - the colossus pf - don't get me wrong this is still a great piece but i passed on it when it was first released because i wasn't digging the cloth outfit. after seeing it in person though i bought it, it is huge and heavy and has tremendous presence. im sculpting an outfit on now, but even from the factory its still a great piece - pictures don't do it justice

The best worst of all.

The best of all the best is Pumpkinhead which I do not have. Maybe that makes me like him even more.

Best: Three Way Tie:

Blackbeard PF
Snake Eyes and Timber Statue
Venom Comiquette

Worst: Two Way Tie

Cyclops: (My Favorite Marvel Character but compared to the other pieces he fell flat)
Captain America (Bucky): Overall, he turned out good but the facial expression looks like a deer in front of the headlights of a rig

I can honestly say none of the SS PFs I own are bad in any way shape or form;

Captain Hook
Evil Queen
Maleficent
Jessica Rabbit
Captain Jack Sparrow
John Wayne "true grit"
Vampirella PF
Lady Death
Terminator (terminator 2)
Terminator
Indiana Jones (ROTLA)

But I'd have to go with the Logan PF as the worst (only from the pics I've seen).

Sideshow's Hulk v Spidey dio captured my imagination from the moment I saw it. I just love how intricate this piece is. For me, this is SS's finest.

I was thinking about saying Sil. She is definitely one-of-a-kind in sculpt. I love the transparent material used and the layered sculpts. Lots of detail, I have no idea how they did all those fine lines and texture in the paint. Really interesting piece. I haven't seen paint like that on any other pieces to date.

I decided to go with Evil Queen because she really demands your attention. Evil Queen is kind of the opposite of Sil. She is very minimal, but it works for her.
