Just came across this life-size Fallout 3 Brotherhood of Steel statue on Ebay. It’s the same one that’s seen across select game stores when the game was released last year. It stands at approximately 7′ 10″ and weighs 120 lbs. Here’s hoping the person who actually ends up buying it has enough room to display this kick ass statue.

This badass “Raging Demon” Akuma Resin Statue from Sota Toys has a pretty unique interpretation of Akuma. He seems to have very pronounced facial features, almost “evil” like. And I think it fits the entire “Raging Demon” Akuma theme nicely. Top it off with a nicely defined and exaggerated musculature and we have a winner here. This Akuma statue is slated for a September 2009 release and will have a RRP of $120.
This is Sideshow’s first bust from the Star Wars universe to receive the Legendary Scale Bust treatment. Sideshow has decided to start this line with Commander Cody, the leader of the 212th Attack Battalion. This bust stands at 18 inches tall and depicts Commander Cody receiving “Order 66” from a holographic image of Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor Palpatine hologram features a LED light feature, powered by batteries hidden in a compartment within Commander Cody’s hand.
Although I’m not a huge Star Wars fan, this bust is nevertheless starting to grow on me as I’m a sucker for statues that feature LED lights. And in this case the LED feature is used very appropriately on the holographic image. Nice!
Here’s the first Street Fighter themed diorama from Pop Culture Collectibles and Sideshow Collectibles. The Ryu VS Sagat Diorama depicts these two longtime Street Fighter rivals in a dramatic battle scene which shows how Sagat got that scar seen on his chest. This diorama will be cast in polystone, and comes complete with a certificate of authenticity signed by sculptor Alexi Bustamante and Jerry Macaluso.
The exclusive version of this Ry VS Sagat Diorama comes with illuminated Dragon Punch, but is unfortunately sold out. However, Sideshow Collectibles offers a ‘Wait List’ feature if you’d like to try your luck.
Sideshow Collectibles is releasing a polystone diorama depicting the clash of 2 of our world’s most fearsome creatures. The Aliens VS Predator: Requiem Polystone Diorama will pit a Wolf Predator against a group of Alien pests. I really like the look of the Wolf Predator (which is why I’m still a proud owner of Sideshow’s Wolf Predator Mask), but I didn’t like the Aliens VS Predator: Requiem film much, and I take it most people felt the same.
Here’s one for the Star Wars fans out there, especially those who love the little green Jedi Master. This Premium Format Figure depicts Yoda in the midst of handing out some pain to an unfortunate Clone Trooper using his trusty walking stick lightsaber. Yoda will also be outfitted in a real fabric robe. A good decision on Sideshow’s part, since I’ve always preferred mixed media statues using multiple materials as they give a more accurate representation. And to add some bling, Yoda’s lightsaber features electronic light function.
If I remember correctly, Zangief will be the 8th character to appear under Pop Culture Shock’s line of Capcom’s Street Fighter and Darkstalkers 18-inch Mixed Media Statues. The previous characters released under this line include Cammy, Morrigan, Felicia, Ken, Vega, Ryu, and Akuma. Zangief will be sculpted by Jerry Macaluso, who was responsible for all the previous Street Fighter characters from Pop Culture Shock. He was also the person who brought us the fantastic line of 6-inch Street Fighter action figures from SOTA Toys.
There will be two versions of Zangief, a normal skin and a Sideshow Exclusive Mecha Zangief. As expected of the mixed media label, Zangief will come in high-quality polystone, and his clothes will be real fabric clothing. There’ll also be an interchangeable head and signed certificate of authenticity from Sideshow Collectibles and Pop Culture Shock.
This here has my vote as the single most impressive collectible for SDCC 09. Everything about it shouts “Look At Me!”. It’ll be produced by Legacy Effects (formerly known as Stan Winston Studios). It’s massive at 1 meter tall, and the light-up chest and eyes just make it look like a slightly miniaturized version of the real thing. I want!

This here would be one of those grail figures to have if you’re a hardcore Evangelion collector. This towering 1/80-Scale Evangelion Unit 01 Collectible Statue looks nice enough, but at ?155,400 (approx. USD$1300) it seems to me this will only cater to the most financially blessed Evangelion fans. Well, if you ask me not even Rei’s used panties are worth that much (ok, maybe it might). If I’m not mistaken it seems like it’s made from “sofubi” (soft vinyl), the same material that Medicom uses on some of their figures. Well, here’s hoping it’s not since $1300 is alot to pay for a vinyl figure, even if it comes in at a whopping 1 meter tall! It also comes with entry plug that opens (I think), a progressive knife and an acrylic base plate. I also came across the word “Masterd Models”…wonder what that means. Looks like they put together the words “Master” and “Bastard”. But why? Perhaps those of you who can read Japanese can shed some light…
