DOCTOR DOOM MARVEL PREMIUM FORMAT FIGURE ARTIST PROOF

This auction is for an Artist Proof featuring one of our all time favorite Marvel villains, Doctor Doom Premium Format Figure Exclusive Edition. Released in August of 2006, this collectible figure was limited to a 1,000 piece, hand numbered edition size, as well as a small number of Artist’s Proofs. The polystone statue features Dr. Doom seated on his highly detailed and ornate throne, cloaked in his green cloth cape. The exclusive accessory pedestal and chalice are included along with the original color box, standardized packing materials and original shipper box.

BLACK WIDOW MARVEL PREMIUM FORMAT FIGURE COSTUME VARIANT PROTOTYPE

This auction is for a highly detailed, hand finished variant of the Black Widow Premium Format Figure. This figure depicts the covert S.H.I.E.L.D. operative as played by Scarlett Johansson in the movie Iron Man 2. Based on the Sideshow Collectibles Exclusive Edition, which comes with the additional switch out right hand with pistol, this variant features a custom black fabric body suit instead of the publicly released blue fabric suit. The item’s base is blank save for some hand written notations from our Production Department. The item does not come with a color box, but will be packed in a shipper carton with protective packing materials by our Production Team, and will include a Certificate of Authenticity.

STEALTH IRON MAN MARVEL COMIQUETTE NUMBERED EDITION

This auction is for a Stealth Iron Man Comiquette. This 1:4 scale Iron Man comiquette was originally based on the sensational cover art from The Invincible Iron Man #76, painted by fan favorite artist Adi Granov. It features working red LED lights (battery operated), adding a very eye-catching element to the already stunning display. This item will include the white box, standardized packing materials and shipper box. The white box has small creases and some minor scuffs, small dent on right bottom corner and wear from our Production Team’s inspection process. The original factory seals (tape) were broken and resealed at Sideshow’s warehouse.

K-3PO STAR WARS LIFE-SIZE BUST PROTOTYPE

This auction is for a highly detailed prototype of K-3PO, the white Protocol Droid placed in charge of the Echo Base droid pool on the planet Hoth, as seen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Designed to become part of the Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars Life-Sized Bust collection, as of production year 2012, this droid never made it through the stringent approval process and remains a one-of-kind, unproduced prototype. The item does not come with a color box, but will be packed in a shipper carton with protective packing materials by our Production Team, and will include a Certificate of Authenticity.

ASAJJ VENTRESS STAR WARS LIFE-SIZE BUST PAINT VARIANT

This auction is for a paint variant sample of the Asajj Ventress Life-Sized Bust, based on the character from the Star Wars Clone Wars animated series. This 24-inch bust captures every aspect of the Sith assassin in stunning detail, and features a unique paint deco that deviates from the current edition available to collectors. The variant details include pale skin tones on the shoulders and chest, triangular purplish-black tribal markings at her cheekbones, and her yellowed sclera (or white of the eyes) looking off to the side in a mad, wild expression. She also comes with a real fabric hood that drapes past her shoulders into a cape feature. This item is unique, as the paint variant is being offered at auction prior to the shipment of the actual edition to collectors. The item does not come with a color box, but will be packed in a shipper carton with protective packing materials by our Production Team, and will include a Certificate of Authenticity.

LUKE AND LEIA STAR WARS FAUX BRONZE DIORAMA MANUFACTURER’S EXCLUSIVE LIMITED ‘GIFT EDITION'

This auction is for a highly detailed, hand finished Luke and Leia Polystone Diorama in an impressive faux bronze finish. The base of this item features elegant gold inked artwork displaying the Star Wars logo and the name of the diorama. This version of the diorama was designed as a ‘Gift Edition’ for our corporate partners and select long-time collectors, and will NOT be for sale to the public. It is from a manufacturer’s limited edition of 75 pieces worldwide, and is NOT hand numbered. It comes in a specialty brown shipper box with item markings, packed in sculpted foam. Also included is a Certificate of Authenticity.

IMPERIAL SHOCK TROOPER STAR WARS 1:1 SCALE HELMET ARTIST PROOF

This auction is for an Artist Proof of the 1:1 Scale Shock Trooper Helmet from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, manufactured by Master Replicas. Expertly crafted from fiberglass, this prop is weighty and has a solid feel to it. The helmet by itself measures 13.5″ high, and 16.5″ including the stand. It comes with a color inner box and an original shipper box with Master Replicas markings. The outer box shows some shipping wear and notations from the Master Replicas staff.

NABOO FIGHTER STAR WARS SIXTH SCALE REPLICA PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY ITEM

This auction is for a unique, mixed media Naboo Fighter promotional display item. At sixth scale it’s stellarly huge; measuring in at approximately 5 ½ feet long, 3 ½ feet wide, 1 ½ feet high and weighing 38 lbs in the box. It can be displayed by hanging from the ceiling or used as floor display. (Although we recommend the latter!) This item comes with its own inner box and shipper box.

SAMARITAN HEAVY HELLBOY 1:1 SCALE PROP REPLICA WHITE METAL PROTOTYPE

This auction is for a highly detailed prop replica of Hellboy’s signature firearm, the Samaritan. The 1:1 scale replica was fashioned after the prop weapon used by Hellboy (portrayed by Ron Perlman) from Guillermo Del Toro’s film of the same name. However, this unique prototype version was made out of heavy solid white metal, weighing in at approximately 13 pounds. It comes with four prop bullets in the same metal (approximately 1/2 lb. each), along with an original wooden shadow display box, fashioned to look like the B.P.R.D. supply crates as seen in the film. It will be packed in a shipper carton and protective packing materials by our Production Team, and include a Certificate of Authenticity.

THE PREDATOR PREDATOR MAQUETTE PRODUCTION SAMPLE

This auction is for a highly detailed, hand finished production sample of the ‘original’ Predator Maquette; the first figure produced in partnership with Stan Winston Studios and Sideshow Collectibles, which shipped to collectors in June of 2006. The Predator Maquette stands at an imposing two feet in height, including the detailed jungle base. It features detailed body armor and a fabric net body suit accurate to the iconic film costume, as well as leather material accents, complex skin patterns and impeccable detail, right down to the shoulder cannon. Starting with scanned data from the 1:1 scale original on display at Stan Winston Studios, senior artists Trevor Hensley and John Rosengrant meticulously recreated the cinema classic in approximately 1:4 scale with unrivaled authenticity. In their words, “the details surpass the original.”
