Sideshow News: MORTALLLL KOMBAA.... Sorry, Logo Threw Me Off.
Hey you look at that logo and tell me you weren't thinking Mortal Kombat. Anyway, looks like Sideshow will do a Premium Format of the legendary Bruce Lee.
Funny story about that.
Last year at SDCC I noticed that Sideshow put the Medicom Bruce Lee on display which caught my interest. After all, I had just posted my review of the Medicom Bruce a few weeks before so naturally I was curious. I went to a rep and asked him about it.
He had no idea what I was talking about.
All of a sudden the Bruce Medicom wasn't on display. He had no idea there was a Bruce there. I asked him where it was and he had no idea. As far as he was concerned he had (say it with me) no idea it was even put out (which I'm sure is the case as it's always Medicom or Hot Toys who set the non-SST items up at a show and not the SST staff). Anyway he said he didn't know about a 1/6 Bruce but did mention a PF Bruce. He had that look of "crap, I shouldn't have said that" on his face and I asked him point blank about it and he was mum really fast from that point on.
So I knew there was a PF Bruce coming down the pike from SST for a while now but no ones seen or heard anything about it. But finally last night there was a teaser of a PF Bruce. The first thing that came to mind other than Mortal Kombat (and a Shaw Brothers poster) is Arnie Kim. Honestly in this day and age it's hard to NOT think of him when it comes to sculptured Bruce's. He is the definitive Bruce Lee sculptor.
Whatever Sideshow has in mind I hope they aim high and get their best guy/people on this because ENTERBAY has set the Bruce Lee bar absurdly high.
Icons. Everyone throws that word around very easily. Whether it’s because of fanatical character worship or used to prove a point in an argument I can say that today's entry is an Icon. Is he a horror Icon? Sure, but I think it's fair to say that he goes beyond that and is indeed a cinematic Icon. I'm a huge fan of this movie as my fellow blogger Kabuto here would attest to as I've made him watch several versions of this movie (hey its a public domain movie and lots of DVD's to go through to be able to find the best one. Which are the KINO and Image DVD's btw). I missed out the first time Sideshow sold the standard version, however I was lucky enough to get him as a Silver Screen Edition. I am still on the fence when it comes to Sideshow 12” but I really dig their Premium Format items.
