Sideshow sells statues, action figures, busts and art prints for collectors, from its own line and brands such as Hot Toys, Prime 1 Studio and Iron Studios, across Star Wars, Marvel and DC.
Shipping is the cost to watch: it's priced by each piece's weight and carton size, so a large statue's quote can outweigh a small discount.
Sideshow began in 1994 and now both makes and distributes collectible figural art. Its own line covers busts and limited edition statues, poseable Sixth Scale figures, replicas of film props and fine art, created by an in-house team of sculptors, painters, model makers and costumers. The company has worked with filmmakers and effects studios such as Guillermo del Toro, Legacy Effects and KNB EFX, and it also carries pieces from Tweeterhead, ThreeA and Mondo.
Collectors with an account can join a free RSVP list for first chance at upcoming pre-orders, with optional text alerts, and the Sideshow Rewards program returns 5% on most purchases as credit for later orders. Sideshow can send parts to repair a damaged piece when it has them in stock, but it does not sell spare parts.

More about shopping at Sideshow
Pre-orders
A shipping quote may stay pending until seven days before the piece reaches the warehouse, and Sideshow emails the cost first.
Sideshow Rewards
5% back on almost every purchase, usable 40-45 days after an order ships and expiring 1 year after it's earned.
Abroad
Most countries are served, with duties and VAT paid by the buyer on delivery rather than collected at checkout.
Rewards credit is applied at checkout against the item price only, so tax and shipping stay at full coSt. The email sign-up offer is $20 off, which goes further on a small bust than on an oversized statue whose dimensional-weight quote can dwarf it.
Pre-orders add a wrinkle: shipping may not be quoted until seven days before the piece reaches the warehouse, so the full total isn't known when you commit.
Daily Deals put a rotating item at 40% off for a limited time, and Sideshow Seconds lists pieces at discounted prices, both worth a look before paying full price for a figure.
