Sideshow Collectibles announced recently the creation of a new category of collectibles: Legendary Scale Busts. The new format, according to Sideshow, “was born out of a desire to create a line of mid-sized busts that still capture all the fine sculpture and painting detail seen in larger format busts, while at the same time offering collectors a more conveniently sized alternative to the often gargantuan life-sized busts Sideshow produces.” Okay, so what does this mean to average Joe consumer?
The new line will feature a variety of characters from many different properties, each to be “roughly the same mass and volume as one another, while large characters will be bigger than smaller characters…there is no restriction to a strict scale such as 1:2 or 1:3, so that the most optimum scale and design can be utilized for each character.” Each Legendary Scale bust will utilize the best materials available to capture the character, including polystone, fibgerglass, metal, polyurethane, plastic, and sometimes even electronic features.
Speaking of electronic features, what are the odds that one of the first busts out of the gate has some? Pretty good, since the bust in particular is of the Governator himself from TERMINATOR 2! It’s not a bad looking bust, either. The other bust coming out at the same time will be the Morgul Lord from THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. No other details are available for these two pieces, but obviously, that will change. Head here for larger images of the busts.
