Win the Exclusive Rescue Version Hot Toys Captain America from Sideshow

I’d love to have the contest and giveaway budget that the good folks at Sideshow Toys seem to have. Here’s a contest on the Sideshow Facebook page for the Rescue version of Captain America that was a summer exclusive from Hot Toys last year. You’re going to have to do a little work for this one, though – they want you to share who would be Bucky to your Captain America. There’s already quite a few heartfelt tributes in there. Should be an inspirational read by the time the contest comes to a conclusion this Sunday.

Who is a Cap fan? Who likes giveaways?

This version of Captain America is specific to the scene in the movie where Steve Rogers busts into Hydra headquarters in order to save his best friend, Bucky Barnes. We at Sideshow Collectibles want to know, who is your Bucky? Who would you risk your life to rescue from the clutches of a super villain organization? Why?

Our favorite Cap/Bucky story will receive a Hot Toys Captain America Rescue Version. Entries must be received by Sunday September 8, 2013 by 5pm, PST.

Sideshow Opens Pre-Orders for G.I. JOE Storm Shadow v2 Exclusive

Sideshow recently upgraded its G.I. JOE Snake Eyes figure, so it’s no surprise that the deadly COBRA assassin would follow. Pre-orders for the COBRA 1/6 scale Storm Shadow v2 (Sideshow exclusive) are now open, with an expected delivery in February next year. I don’t know how Storm Shadow would feel about being cheaper than Snake Eyes, as he always had that inferiority complex to deal with – he’s up for $179.99 while Snake Eyes is $199.99 (and in stock now).

Storm Shadow comes with a bunch of ninja gear, including a compound bow, katana, shuriken, and tonfas. The Sideshow exclusive version also comes with a COBRA head katana. It’s the same price as the regular version, so I’m not sure why anyone would not prefer it during pre-orders. When they’re out of stock, I’d understand it, but for now, go for the exclusive.

Sideshow Lists Exclusive Evil Superman from Superman III

When Sideshow put the Star-Spangled Captain America and G.I. JOE’s Joe Colton up for pre-sale last week, I wondered what happened to the third of the Hot Toys “Toy Fairs” exclusives. I guess it wasn’t too far behind, because the Hot Toys Evil Superman from Superman III is now up for pre-order. Since Sideshow is the Hot Toys distributor in the US, I think they’ll be the only ones to carry this here.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen any of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies that I have pretty much no recollection of the third movie with Richard Pryor – I’m thinking that’s probably a good thing given its low ratings. But it’s probably time to watch them again.

SDCC 2013: Sideshow Collectibles Instapics

SDCC is pretty busy, and I don’t often have enough time to just walk around and look at stuff. The Sideshow booth is one location where I definitely love to spend time just soaking it all in. I don’t usually take pictures of the larger items with my “real” camera – it’s somewhat torturous because there’s so much goodness there, and I would just be killing myself processing pictures of stuff that is way beyond my means to collect. (I did capture most of the Hot Toys displays at Sideshow in an earlier post.)

Still, I couldn’t resist snapping some shots with my phone camera. With no polarizing filter, it’s impossible to get a shot of the glass displays without getting some reflection of lights or other things in the shot. And I guess for these pictures, the glare and reflections are part of the fun.
