Amazing! That was our first exclamation (minus the profanity) after seeing the newly released photos of Hot Toys’ Superman 1/6th scale figure based on the likeness of Christopher Reeve. In recent years, Hot Toys has shown a tremendous aptitude for making life-like 1/6th scale figures of our favorite heroes and villains of film. From perfect costuming to intricate paintwork and sculpting, these collectibles have become the pinnacle of high-end toy collecting. Other companies have licensed the likeness of Christopher Reeve in recent months, and have even released their own movie-versions of the Man of Steel, but regardless of how well done those have been – this is the definitive version. No question.

We here at MTV Geek! are continuing to showcase pants-soiling-scary action figures and collectibles to blow your hard-earned (or ill-gotten) dollars on. Today we’re taking a look at Sideshow Collectibles, the company known for their incredibly realistic and quality made 1/6th scale figures. They have licensing ties with almost every major property and have a close-knit relationship with Hot Toys, which allows them unprecedented availability to some of the sweetest, most armored, creepiest, and/or aggressive looking toys to ever grace a collector’s waiting hands. Every year, Sideshow hosts an event known as Spooktacular, on their website. During this event customers can score some deep discounts, see sneak peaks at upcoming figures, enter to win unbelievably awesome prizes, and a number of other fun odds & ends. In preparation for the event, Sideshow has a limited quantity (only 500, with a lot already sold as of this writing) of their Spooktacular Readiness Kit. What’s that you ask? Why would I need a kit to hang out online and try to get toys on the cheap? Well, our answer is: Why the Hell not?! It’s friggin’ awesome! Read more...
