Each piece is individually painted and finished with the unique quality and attention to detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product.

I had an awesome plastic action figure when I was a kid about the size of the one Bryan is playing with.  It was very cool, had a hinged mouth that opened and a teeth-tongue that would stick out when you pressed the bottom of the back of its head.  I used to have it fight my Godzilla figure that was about the same size which would shoot its hand off and breathe fire (well a plastic strip with cartoon fire on it)  Great fun was had!

MAN, I remember having both of those! The Godzilla was ALL I wanted for Christmas 1980. My dad got me the big Alien toy which scared the crap outta me! (I was 6) Wish I had both of them now.

Here's a pic of me with that great gift. Meeeemories....

Awesome picture!  I really wish I still had them too.  They had some epic battles.  I remember my 12" Hulk used to kick their butts too, sometimes.

Oh yeah, I loved all the big hero figures. My favorite was the Batman with the grappling hook. I just saw I have my Mego Spidey in that picture...that toy also rarely left my sight.

I remember it like it was yesterday, not 32 years ago. I wanted that Godzilla like Ralphie wanted his Red Rider gun. And my mon had to go to like 15 stores to find it for me. It really was something I will always remember!

Wow love the pics!   

Here is a picture of the Godzilla that resides in my office.... my wife gave him to me xmas of 94 as a goof. I put the four AA batteries in him at that time and he still works.... he makes that Godzilla noise and smokes. I just checked the batteries and they say best if used by 2002 magic batteries?

Yeah, dude, you do NOT want to lose track of one of those things! It's likely up in your air ducts stalking you!

The Alien statue I posted a pic of from Sideshow was only about $125.
