Welcome to the Movie Memorabilia on Monday the 18th, 2009, where I’ll tell you about a bunch of really cool things you’ll never be able to afford. Like a car crash, or a train wreck, you just won’t be able to look away, and after you see it you’ll never be the same again. This time I’m going to feature products related to upcoming movies, which happen to be based on movies that have already been in the theaters. Confused? It’s okay. Just stare at the pretty pictures, and don’t forget to wipe the drool off your chin when you are done.
Featured Item: Deadpool Mini-Bust Film Franchise: X-Men Origins: Wolverine(with future plans for Deadpool solo film)
I am an admitted Deadpool fanatic. I love everything about the character. I buy just about every Deadpool related item I can find. This beautiful porcelain mini-bust is one of the two Deadpool collectibles I’ve come across that I don’t have, and it’ll be in my possession shortly. These mini-busts are very rare, which is why the cost is so high compared to similar products based on other characters. There are two different versions of this bust: the one shown here is Deadpool withhis trademark mask, the other version is without the mask, displaying his rarely seen and hideously scarred face. You can’t go wrong with either one. I suggest you hurry up and place your order for this very rare find. They tend to sell out quick. Why wouldn’t they? Take a look and tell me you don’t think that looks cool. You can’t do it. Those words cannot come together in a sentence that way. The English language does not accept any variation of the words “Deadpool, not, and cool.” In all seriousness, Deadpool collectibles are a very rare find, as the character has a very large and loyal following. If you can afford this, even if you don’t like Deadpool, you should buy it. At the very least, you’ll be able to re-sell it for a lot more than you paid for it in a couple of years. So check it out! You can find this fine piece of craftsmanship over at Go Figure Action Figures for $324.99 What a deal…
Featured Item: T-700 1:6th scale 12″ figure Film Franchise: Terminator
The Terminator franchise is ready to return to the big screen with the first part of a potential new trilogy of films, kicking off this weekend with McG’s Terminator Salvation. Say what you will about McG and the Terminator franchise, but you can’t deny the wicked coolness of this 12″ figure. This figure is finely crafted, down to the little details and intricacies of the machine itself. Take a closer look here, and check out what Sideshow Collectibles had to say about the product below. It would look great on display anywhere. Yes, it is essentially an action figure, but with the whopping price tag of $119.99, I doubt you’d want to do anything other than secure it in a display case somewhere and then marvel at it’s beauty. You’ll have to get on a wait list to even get a chance at it, so you’ll have plenty of time to start planning where you will put it and how you will protect that investment. The T-700 is still relatively cheap compared to other merchandise found at Sideshow Collectibles, this may be one of the few items I feature in this post that is actually attainable for most of you. You just have to convince your significant other that it’s not a waste of money. Sometimes I think you single guys and gals are so lucky…
“Sideshow Collectibles is proud to bring you the latest in Hot Toys’ Terminator Salvation lineup, the T-700 Collectible Figure.
