SideshowSideshow had some old favorites in their display cases along with some incredible new items in both the 1:6 and Premium Format scales. In the 1:6th line they debuted an absolutely incredible Obi-Wan Kenobi as he was seen in A New Hope. If the head sculpt on this figure stays the same and they can pull off the paint apps, I have to believe this may be their best figure to date! Also on display were the Holochess table and Holo Emperor environment pieces. The Princess Leia that we pre-ordered a few weeks back was in the case and looks better in person. Also there was the Asajj Ventress which looks really nice. Now if they'd just ship her and finally give us our Padme! The rest of the items included the Jabba environment, Endor Rebel Troopers and the Jedi figures we have in our collections already. The VCD and Real Action Heroes figures were in a case and they look much better in person than in photos. The VCD figures are actually much larger and nicer than I originally thought. If they ever do an AT-AT Driver in either of these two lines you can definitely count me in. )
Also making its debut in the Premium Format line was the new Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike. It's absolutely huge and incredibly detailed. If you are a fan of the PF items or a Scout Trooper collector you better start saving your pennies now. A bronze Darth Vader statue will also be offered in the PF format in the near future. Several life sized busts were scattered around the booth. Yoda, Greedo and Maul have all been seen before, I believe, but Bossk will soon join the ranks. The life sized R2-D2 and C-3PO statues were next to the booth and a lot of people were taking advantage of them for photo opportunities. If you like the environments that Sideshow is making, including the exclusive Space Slug they had for sale over the weekend, you'll really dig the Anakin and Obi-Wan statue showing their final showdown from Revenge of the Sith. For the money, Sideshow is putting out some of the best collectibles in the Star Wars universe right now.
