Sideshow Collectables – M56 Smartgun Prop Replica by Hollywood Collectibles Group

Monday, April 13th, 2020

Hollywood Collectables Group has come out with another awesome movie-accurate prop replica weapon from Aliens, this time the M56 Smartgun, as wielded by PFC Vasquez in the film. Made of fiberglass, metal, resin, and mixed media, each M56 Smartgun prop is hand-painted and authentically weathered. They’re authentically-sized as well, coming in at 48″ long complete with a themed tabletop display stand; you’ll have to source your own rig and harness if you plan on carrying this one around.

It is limited to only 600 units, with an estimated ship date between May and June 2020.

Fun fact: the original M56 Smartgun from the movie Aliens was constructed from an MG42 rigged up with a steadycam harness and various motorcycle parts.

Sideshow Collectables – Jack Burton 1/6 Scale Figure

Tuesday, February 19th, 2019

Sideshow has released a lot of awesome figures over the years, but in my (extremely biased) opinion, this one is easily one of the best: the 1/6 scale Jack Burton from ‘Big Trouble in Little China’. Coming in at 12″ in height, this highly-detailed figurine features a lifelike Jack Burton headsculpt (complete with mullet), multiple points of articulation, and some truly-impressive, movie-accurate clothing details, such as the laces on his boots, the included denim jacket, and even the stitching on his watch cuff.

The figure comes complete with Jack’s semi-auto TEC-9 pistol, Gerber TAC knife, multiple hand configurations, and a “Guardian” accessory figure, AKA the floating eyeball creature.

This figure is limited to 1500 units worldwide, and is available exclusively through Sideshow’s website.

Sideshow Collectables – Alien Queen Maquette

Sunday, April 8th, 2018

Adding to the list of extravagant desk pieces is Sideshow Collectables’ upcoming Alien Queen Maquette. Designed in conjunction with Legacy Effects, a noted American special effects studio, this maquette comes in at 19″ tall, featuring a highly-detailed Xenomorph queen atop an intricate egg chamber base, and surrounded by eggs, Facehuggers, and two Xenomorph warriors. The collectable is made of polystone, polyresin, ABS, and PVC, and comes in at $1100 with an estimated arrival of April 2019 – June 2019, so any pre-orders will be waiting at least a year for this one.
