RIP: Sideshow Universal Monsters

[Gorn Captain]

it's too bad. Would have loved to have added a 12 inch colin Clive henry frankenstein and 12 inch Lugosi Ygor.

Yeah, they made every conceivable Monster, but no mad Doctor. Maybe the actor's estate didn't allow his likeness?

I loved the 8 in. line they had....I don't have the room for the 12 inchers...LOL! Great stuff.
Is Diamond producing the figures that are available at Toys R US (I think they're around 6 inches tall or something)? I bought the Wolfman, Creature and Mummy....They're good, but not as good as the Sideshow Toys figures.

I have a big soft spot for the 12" line as this was my introduction to SS items and the prices were good back then.

I think my faves are the Nosferatu silver screen and the creech.

Ditto!

Loved the early stuff that was cheaper and articulated - never got into the PFs or the dioramas, though they looked beautiful. But this line was definitely one of the greats.

I collected all of their standard 8" & 12" lines, as well as a few minis & SS editions. Fantastic stuff!

I have some of their 12" stuff and they're beautiful. I hope Diamond can do what Sideshow has done for so many years

some nice product. I recently picked up a SS and diamond creech that were both approx 1:9 scale. I have to say, I liked the SS version better.

Man, what a run they had, during the over 10 years that they had the license, they produced some great figures. I never managed to get everything (damn you, elusive 12" Creech!) but I have a bunch of the 12" figures and a few 8" ones and think they are great. The end of an era.

Really liked the line...

Whatever is unsold at the expiration of a contract is either destroyed or given away.

If Sideshow could give me their Creature from the Black Lagoon, I'd be eternally grateful...

[palitoy]

I wonder what will happen to the unsold stock...

Whatever is unsold at the expiration of a contract is either destroyed or given away. I give my stuff to children's hospitals.

Their license probably expired and that's why. I can't imagine why there would be a riff after all this time and with no major product out right now. Sideshow did a great job. I am eternally grateful for the work they put into this license. Well worth the money I invested.

[Gorn Captain]

I loved their 8 inch and 12 inch lines.
I have all 8 inch figures, and a handful of the 12 inches. Some of these are really hard to come by these days.
Let's hope Diamond steps up to the plate...

Seems like the end of a contract, diamond has taken over.
