Aayla Secura in Premium Format

Sideshow's latest Star Wars Premium Format figure is the Jedi Knight Aayla Secura!

The Sideshow Exclusive Edition comes with an additional 242nd Star Corps Clone Trooper Helmet (or is it a Clone Trooper head?) and is priced at USD$349.99 (before shipping and other fees).

The Regular Edition is also priced similarly but will not have the additional Clone Helmet (or is it a Clone Head? Lol.....).

New Alien Warrior Statue from Sideshow Collectibles

From the film Aliens, the Alien Warrior statue from Sideshow Collectibles will be up for pre-order this Thursday or Friday, depending on the time zone where you are located.

As with the recently released Dog Alien statue, do take note of the product dimensions so that you will know what you can be expecting in terms of actual statue size and scale. ;-)

Priced at USD$249.99 (before shipping and other fees), the Sideshow Exclusive Edition will come with an Alien Face Hugger.

Alien 3 - Dog Alien Statue Just Arrived

I just received my shipment of the Sideshow Collectibles' 1/5 scale Dog Alien Statue from the FedEx delivery guy.

First impression? Underwhelming. This figure certainly does not seem to be 1/5 in scale. Based on my personal estimate, it is more likely to be 1/7 or maybe even 1/8 in scale. The size comparison with the 1/6 scale Hot Toys Dog Alien can be seen in one of the two pictures below.

Ignore the crappy pictures for now as they are taken with a cellphone camera in low light conditions. Check back this blog soon for more in-hand pictures of this Dog Alien statue.

Star Wars - IG-88

From the original trilogy, we were introduced to IG-88, a droid who is also a bounty hunter. This awesome 1/6 scale figure of IG-88 from Sideshow Collectibles is finally part of my collection!

The Sideshow Exclusive Edition comes with an additional Vibro Axe. Despite the slightly higher cost of buying this figure direct from Sideshow due to international shippping charges, I still go ahead and ordered direct from Sideshow because I simply must have that Vibro Axe for my IG-88!

Here is a picture of IG-88 in its original packaging. I will need to find some time to take this figure out of its box, played around with it and write a review of it on this blog.

Star Wars - Chancelor Palpatine and Darth Sidious 2-Pack

The Chancelor Palpatine and Darth Sidious 2-Pack 1/6 scale figures were released by Sideshow several years ago. How time flies!

I missed out on this set during its initial release. Recently, I managed to get one set (new in box) off eBay at close to its original retail price. With enough PayPal funds to cover one-third of the cost, I couldn't resist clicking on the "Buy It Now" button. A week later, on 26 Jan 2012, the postal delivery guy knocked on my door with a package shipped from the US and this set is now part of my 1/6 scale figure and Star Wars collection.

The 2 pictures below show Chancelor Palpatine. Darth Sidious is still in the box waiting to be taken out for display in my collection room. I am rapidly running out of space to display my growing collection!

Star Wars - 442nd Siege Battalion Clone Trooper

I collected this Clone Trooper and the EPII Phase I Clone Captain from my local retailer on 19 Jan 2012.

Essentially, this 442nd Siege Battalion Clone Trooper is a straight repaint using the standard EPIII Clone Trooper base figure. Even the accessories are exactly derived from the standard set that comes with every other recently released Clone Trooper. However, this is still an awesome figure. I particularly like the green-color camouflaged pattern that comes with this figure. Took it out of the box today and snapped a few quick pictures with my Canon IXUS-1oo IS Digital Camera.

Here are two of the pictures I took:
