We'd like to thank all of our collectors for making Toy Fair 2007 truly an event to remember! As a final wrap-up to this hugely successful event, we've posted our last update to the photo gallery from the show floor. Check out all the images, but don't forget to keep a bucket handy to catch your drool! We're also happy to announce that all 35+ Toy Fair contest winners have confirmed in record time! If you are a winner, you should expect to receive your prize shipment quote by the end of this week. Be sure to mark your calendars for our next convention event in May 2007 - Star Wars Celebration IV! If you can't be there, join us online, and we'll put you right in the middle of the action!

Toy Fair 2007 was certainly exciting for Sideshow and our collectors, with the release of new products from our Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Legend, Aliens, and Marvel licenses, plus the premiere of our new Elvis Presley Premium Format figure. We forced Sideshow's Webmaster to actually work from the floor at Toy Fair one day, even though it was supposed to be his day off. Too bad for Chris but great news for our collectors, as he snagged some interesting interviews from key Sideshow personnel, including Greg Anazalone (CEO), Brant Bridges (Operations Manager), and Brock Otterbacher (Licensing Coordinator). You can listen to these interviews from the floor in tomorrow's episode of Sideshow Radio, to be posted on our homepage on Friday, February 23rd! [Watch for the February 23rd podcast]

This week, Sideshow guest reviewer and collecting addict, Matt Gebhart, takes a closer look at the scarily-detailed Shelob statue: "The sculpt is another Lord of the Rings masterpiece...capturing the viciousness of the monster that threatens Frodo and Sam as they attempt to make their way into Mordor...the detail is amazing...the piece really stands out! My only surprise...why has this not SOLD OUT YET!" Read the entire review, and get up close and personal with this terrifying Ungoliant by clicking on the following link![Read the full review]

Did you pre-order your Sideshow Exclusive Lord of Darkness Premium Format figure during Toy Fair?
