Let's face it, Sideshow not making Universal Monsters is a big mistake. For the people that have been with Sideshow since the beginning, it was the Monster's that got us hooked.
SO SIDESHOW, PLEASE BRING BACK THE MONSTERS
They don't have the license anymore.
Someone start a Hot Toys petition!
Apparently SSC wasnt doing enuff to make the monsters collectibles accessible to the larger public. Thats most likely why SSC got its license yanked...so 50 year old kids could have something to buy when they go into a Toys R Us for $14.99. Quantity over quality. DST is filling that niche now with 8 inch figures I dont care enuff about to buy. Awesome job Universal!
I will never understand why Sideshow didn't keep a presence in TRU. If it weren't for TRU's carrying of Sideshow's UMs I never would've discovered Sideshow Collectibles.
They don't have the licence anymore and yet, you can see Frankenstein's Monster and Phantom on their SDCC counter banners.
Strange and saddening at the same time.
Some missing pieces they could/should have released :
- Phantom, Bride, Wolfman & Invisible Man life-size busts
- Invisible Man PF
- not mentionning my favorite, the diorama line, that was terminated with the fewer characters ever in any of their Unimonsters lines
I’m sure collectors got interested (I know I was) in a possible statue line when SSC announced the new Nosferatu. But he’ll remain all alone.
A Legendary Scale Busts line could have been great too
Wouldn't that mean the new statue line had the fewer characters of any UM line?
Nosferatu is Prana Films, not Universal. So--no.
The diorama line with only three entries probably holds that title. They even made more Little Big Heads than those. Of course the wretched
"Posers" only had Frankenstein and Wolfman.
So much potential for the dio line and soooo many missing pieces.

By the way, Nam
just kidding
