There has been a gargantuan amount of Star Wars merchandise available across the world ever since the first Star Wars movie blasted onto screens back in 1977. There have been thousands of action figures, playsets, books, comics, prints, masks and more for fans to check out and collect, but out of all of them, there is one company that has created consistently amazing Star Wars collectibles, and often in very limited quantities. That company is Sideshow Collectibles, and this page is an appreciation of their exemplary work in bring fans the highest quality Star Wars items ever.

The statues made by Sideshow Collectibles are known worldwide for their quality, detail and beauty. It is a reputation that has been built more on word of mouth (and the quality of their products) more than advertising or marketing. All of the major characters are represented in the incredible Sideshow range, plus many other characters from the Star Wars films and Expanded Universe.

Expertly sculpted by a team of world renowned artists and hand finished, the statues and dioramas from Sideshow Collectibles are amazing, and literally the finest movie collectibles around.

Many items are cast in polystone/cold cast resin and feature fabric costumes. Several items also include light features for that extra effect, and all of them come with extremely well made, movie-authentic character accessories in scale with the pieces themselves.

Sideshow Collectibles' Star Wars statues are mainly produced in very limited quantities, allowing them to create extremely detailed and impressive pieces, instead of mass-produced merchandise that is light on detail and accuracy. These things are the connossieur's choice when it comes to Star wars memorabilia.

The large format figures offered by Sideshow are incredible. Depicting Jedia, Sith, Biounty Hunters and many other characters from the StarWats saga, they are generally 12 inches tall and supplied with extremely detailed costumes and accessories. All six movies and the expanded universe are covered, with recent additions to the range including characters such as Asajj Ventress and a new edition of Darth Maul.

Each is supplied with its own display base and extremely attractive window-fronted display packaging. These are affordable items and a great way for any Star wars fan to get into collecting the quality merchandise on offer from Sideshow collectibles.

Sideshow Collectibles are responsible for some truly astounding work in the area of Star Wars collectibles in general.

While they are mainly known for their work with premium format figures and statues, Sideshow also offer a wide range of other Star wars items that are hard to beat.

These include huge dioramas, books, prints, vinyl collectibles, life size figures and bronze statues.

The larger items, such as the life size statues and bronze statues, need to be seen to be believed. They are pieces of such artistry and refinement that it defies belief, such as in the case of the bronze Darth Vader statue, which, at 1:2 scale and beautifully cast, is one of the finest examples of licensed memorabilia ever produced.

Sideshow Collectibles know their game, and when it comes to Star wars collectibles, nobody does it better.
