HOT TOYS COLLECTING: THE TRUTH ABOUT SIDESHOW!

Have you ever wondered the history of Sideshow Collectibles and their Star Wars figures? Well, today is your lucky day!

[raymondgonzales]

As you were explaining the history of these pieces it was truly taking me back to when i was 7 seeing that Sideshow Luke Skywalker in comic stores. Now I collect Star Wars hot toys and I finally got my 1/6 scale Luke from Return of the Jedi. Great channel I subbed last week.

Great summary, especially for us noob collectors!

You really deserve a ton more subscribers - will be looking forward to seeing that come to fruition!!

1:35 "Star Wars Sideshow" vs "Hot Toys [Star Wars] Sideshow" ...I've been waiting for someone to make a video about this 😁👍 I even got into a "debate" with a Sideshow collectibles employee when I pointed out that there was a difference between the two lol 🤣👍 Great video Keco 🔥

Your videos are answering all my early questions. I’m just now making my first couple purchases of hot toys.

Good Video, , i have a few "Militaries of Star Wars" figures from Sideshow .. Stormtroopers and Sandtroopers, and on the bottom of their boxes it has the Hot Toys logo, , what i have learned over the years is that Hot Toys in the early 2006 2007 or so did make the Armor for the Stormtroopers and later the Clones armor also but nothing compares to Hot Toys Star Wars figures even the first MMS line surpasses anything SS ever did .. Thanks for making this video and very informative 👍

Subscribed buddy. You've earned it. Been watching since September. Ty!

The problem with many of side show figures in the past is the loose joints. I have one of their storm troopers in the figure cannot stand up without a support stand.

Thanks for another great video! When I was first starting my collecting I had some confusion between slideshow and hot toys. Ordered. One that I thought was a hot toy but was a side show. Luckily it's great! I love it! And it was not one that had a detailed head sculpt or anything specific. I am now more educated. Thank you for educating others who are starting so that they have a better understanding!

The only Sideshow piece I currently own is the ANH C3PO just because Hot Toys haven't got off their a** and made that version, yet. It definitely will be replaced when Hot Toys finally does get around to making him.

That 2006 SideShow Luke was actually my first 1/6 scale lol never knew he was the first original release lol I just started collecting about 6months ago I got about 8 figures right now literally just posted him up on Facebook market place for $50 to make room lol

Cool video man, very informative. Nicely done.

I've recently been wanting the new statues of Deadpool & Wolverine, another is just Wolverine alone. I've personally been wanting the Avatar statues from both Sideshow and Hot Toys, but I get confused by the two. Also other companies like Prime 1 Studio and Infinity Studio. Any help?

[Trojanman]

[gageous]

Don't forget, the Licensor (Disney in the case of Star Wars ) dictates to Hot Toys and Sideshow what characters they make from what movies or properties.
