As one of the premiere manufacturers of large scale, articulated figures, the team at Sideshow Collectibles has always held the work of Tonner Doll Corporation in the utmost regard. Now we are incredibly thrilled to announce that these impressive designs will soon be available directly to our collectors, distributors, and retailers! We hope to create even more fans of the incredible costuming and superb detail of the Tonner figures through this exciting new distribution partnership. As always, keep a close eye on our weekly newsletter for all the updates and ordering opportunities, soon to come! [Tonner distribution - Coming Soon!]
Make sure to set your TiVo for tomorrow's episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which will feature a few of our super 'Spider-Man 3' collectibles during her interview with Spidey himself, Tobey Maguire! In the Los Angeles area, you can tune into KNBC Channel 4 at 4:00 PM (Pacific Time, of course) to catch the show, or you can use the following handy link to find out when and on what channel it will air in your city. We heard that the mini busts even got a chance to don cute little sombreros in celebration of Cinqo de Mayo - don't miss it! [Ellen DeGeneres showtimes]
Sideshow Apparel has hit the streets! Now's your chance to stand out from the crowd and show your support of the most awesome collectible company out there... Sideshow Collectibles - hey, that's us! Now we're extending an invitation to those of you who have placed your order for SSC Apparel: snap a photo of yourselves modeling the garb, submit it to us using our online photo submission form, and we'll feature YOU on the product pages for those items! (Don't worry, you don't need to include your face if you don't want to - wear a mask, or show off your smiling mug - either way works for us.) Disclaimer: Sideshow assumes no responsibility for those collectors who, struck by their new-found celebrity status, start singing, "I'm too sexy for this shirt, too sexy for this shirt..."

This week has been all Spider-Man, all the time at Sideshow, including the Priority Pre-Order for our first 2007 Comic-Con Exclusive, the Black Suited Spider-Man mini bust! If you will be ATTENDING the con, held in San Diego from July 25th-29th, you can pre-order RIGHT NOW, or you can wait for the Non-Attendee allotment to begin Priority Pre-Ordering at 10 AM (PT) tomorrow, Friday, May 4th. The Sideshow 360 QTVR turnaround for this item has also been posted - you can check it out on the Attendee pre-order page now!

[Non-Attendee PPO info][Pre-Order the Attendee edition]
We apologize, but due to internal restrictions set forth by our corporate spokesman, we are unable to post any images or information about next week's Comic-Con Exclusive prior to the Attendee PPO event. Yes, the Web Team has been censured, but we assure you that you won't want to miss it - believe us, that would be HORR-ible! So, if you will be an ATTENDEE of Comic-Con, be sure to place your Priority Pre-Order on Thursday morning, May 10th at 10 AM (PT), and if you are a NON-ATTENDEE, we'll see you on Friday, May 11th, also at 10 AM (PT).

That is, if you can find it anywhere! It seems that the new book by J.R.R. Tolkien is SOLD OUT almost everywhere! 450 lucky fans in New York City managed to grab not only a whole truckload of the books, but they were also first editions that had been signed by the professor's son, Christopher Tolkien, and artist Alan Lee! Sideshow reporter, Larry Curtis, was there to bring us the whole scoop on the NYC line party - follow the link to read all about it and view the photo gallery.[Children of Hurin line report]
In celebration of our exciting Tonner distribution announcement and the fact that Sideshow will be carrying their fantastic Harry Potter line of collectible figures, we'd like to make sure EVERYONE watches the new 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' film trailer!

One of the most anticipated films in a summer full of sure-to-be-incredible theater experiences, this trailer has really knocked our socks off![Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix trailer][Official film site]
