DC Comics Joins With Sideshow for High End Collectibles

Posted on July 13, 2011 at 6:14 pm by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News

Looks like the awesome folks at Sideshow will be trying their hand at DC Universe characters soon. Full press release below:

(July 13, 2011) Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) announced today along with DC Entertainment that it has enlisted Sideshow Collectibles, a leading specialty manufacturer of licensed collectible products, to create a signature line of premium statues, busts and other collectibles inspired by DC Comics’ stable of iconic super heroes and villains.

This heroic alliance paves the way for Sideshow Collectibles to offer products featuring DC Comics’ most revered super heroes and villains including Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, as well as items inspired by the upcoming theatrical releases The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel. In addition to premium statues and busts, Sideshow Collectibles will produce limited edition art prints and high-end 1/6 scale articulated figures. These all-new collectible lines will complement the robust offerings available from DC Direct.

“The DC Comics universe enjoys a loyal following of avid collectors and enthusiasts that will be thrilled with these wonderful offerings from Sideshow Collectibles,” said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President, Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “The premium collectibles, featuring our most legendary DC Comics super heroes and villains, serve to enhance and support an overall product offering which continues to be led by DC Direct and stand as a welcome addition to our vaunted lineup.”

“We are truly excited to be bringing our expertise and experience in the area of collectibles to the vast DC Comics universe of characters,” said Greg Anzalone, President, Sideshow Collectibles. “The opportunity to create items inspired by these iconic heroes is an incredible opportunity to provide the fans with a number of very special offerings, which will be appreciated by casual and dedicated collectors alike.”

In addition to premium collectibles, Sideshow Collectibles’ limited edition 1/6 scale figures feature more than thirty points of articulation, highly detailed accessories, real fabric costumes, and an array of switch-out parts for customizable display potential. The art print products will capture the best of DC Comics characters and adventures in flat art form. Sideshow Collectibles will also be collaborating with Mondo Tees to create limited edition prints, each featuring original artwork which is screen printed on archival paper and highly limited.

    Man I can't wait for a Premium Format Batman at 1/4th scale from SideShow. I already have the DC Direct Museum one which is sweet, but I can't resist the idea of one from SideShow too. I am really excited that Sideshow will also starts making traditional 1/6 scale DC figures. The 13" DC Deluxe figures drive me crazy, becasue they are such an odd size don't fit with anything else in my collection. They need to do this for MARVEL too.

    I'd be down for something Superman. Favorite comic character, but I've never found any toy, statue or otherwise that I thought was worthy of picking up.

    Oh hell yeah...Bring on the 1/6 figures. I hope they are as good as their Joe figures. My Marvel Hot Toys need some DC competition. The only question I have now is....should I still get Hot Toys Green Lantern, or wait for Sideshow's comic version of Hal Jordan? Decisions decisions....I'm still getting the Hot Toys Chris Reeve Superman no matter what though.

    BATMAN. BATMAN Bacala. BATMAN IS BETTER!

    I am very excited and surprised by this news! I have a feeling these will blow away the DC Direct 13"ers.

    Hot Toys Superman dude! That is the definitive Reeve Superman.

    Unless you hate Christopher Reeve, which means you hate freedom.

    Why do you hate freedom?

    I'm not a fan of the Reeve look for Superman. I want my Superman diesel. Doesn't work for Clark Kent, but works for Superman. 90s toon frame. Everything so far like that has something off to me though. Face, frame, colors, something.

    Some day I'll find the perfect Superman, and it will be mine tho. /Picky Rant.

    Does any one know of a retailer that will stock these that will accept my kidney as payment for the joker. Stupid economy.

    Yup, I would have to say that I agree. I have not come accross a Superman figure/staute that really does him justice and there have been a lot of them over the years. Although I do have the Full size Jim Lee Superman Statue and the Alex Ross JUSTICE figure from DC Direct, but I need something more. I'm sure SideShow will take care of this and fill our Superman void with style though.
