KISS Sideshow Figures

I used to be a huge fan of KISS back in the day and all the way up until their massively successful Reunion Tour of 1996-1997. Although, I wouldn’t consider myself a fan these days as the band has become an absolute joke and completely ruined by greed and ridiculous merchandise opportunities that are nothing short of farcical. We won’t even begin to mention the KISS Store they were set to launch here in Melbourne, Australia. Doomed from the outset, the supposed store never even launched. The band these days is nothing but a glorified tribute/nostalgia act - I mean, dressing up your road manager in Ace Frehley make-up and costume is downright ludicrous. These schmucks think they can pull that one off but the fans are leaving them in droves.

But from the quagmire that is modern day KISS, I must admit getting a little bit excited about these new collector figures that are about to be released. The KISS band members have been meticulously recreated by Sideshow’s artistic team. Sculptor Pablo Viggiano, working with clothing fabricators Greg Mowry and Gidget Earle, has created the definitive 1:4 scale reproduction of each band member. Sideshow’s Premium Format sculptures stand approximately 18 inches tall, and utilize a variety of components, including polystone, metal, and fabrics to achieve an astonishing likeness.

Sideshow’s Creative Director, Tom Gilliland, anticipates limited editions for each Premium Format KISS figure, with an MSRP of $249.99. The KISS line will begin shipping with ‘The Spaceman’ figure in fourth quarter, 2006. A new figure will be shipped every other month thereafter, until all four band members have regrouped in your collection. Sideshow is the premier source for highly collectible figures, statues, busts, framed art, prop replicas and figure-study maquettes. Sideshow products are available online at: www.sideshowcollectibles.com, as well as through specialty shops, comic book stores, and via collectible web sites worldwide.

Kurt Cobain Action Figure

Based on his appearance in the video for ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ the NECA Kurt Cobain Action figure includes his guitar, rendered in painstaking detail, and part of the gymnasium floor as the base. Be on the lookout for Kurt to stand with his guitar again on store shelves late in June.

One wonders if series two will feature Courtney Love and a gun?

Motorhead's Lemmy Action Figure

SEG has entered into an agreement with Bravado International for figural and statue rights to the infamous band Motörhead. For the past 30 years, Lemmy Kilmister and his band Motörhead have seen and done it all and lived to tell about it. And what’s more amazing is that they’re still going strong. Not only did Motörhead pick up a Grammy in 2005, but they’re still out on the road playing to sold out crowds around the world. Viewed by his peers and the masses as the “Godfather” of hard rock music, Lemmy has become an indisputable icon that has etched his place in history as one of the best.

SEG is proud to announce it will be releasing a highly detailed figure of Lemmy Kilmister in the Spring of 2006 with a statue of the iconic Warpig logo in the Fall of 2006.

Jenna Jameson signs on her action figure

You know I’m gonna jump at the chance to include (yet another) picture of Jenna Jameson on the pages of this here blog! I think this is Ms Jameson’s third appearance on ‘dogmatic’. So shoot me! Regardless, the ‘action figure’ world is expanding at an alarming rate with the vast majority of collectors being adults. With that in mind, a company called Plastic Fantasy - founded by Jerry Macaluso began marketing action figures based on today’s leading porno stars. The likes of Brianna Banks, Inari Vachs, Jenna Jameson, Julie Ireland to name but a few - have been immortalized in ‘action figure’ plastic. The figures are approximately 7.5″ tall and bear an amazing likeness to the adult celebrities they represent, thanks to “xXx Scan,” the sophisticated laser-scanning technique used to create each girl’s face and body. Each figure is fully clothed, but the clothing is removable. Tattoos and piercings are also represented, as well as accessories and a display base for each figure. Believe me, there is nothing left to the imagination with these figures! These are anatomically correct in every respect (and I mean every respect!) Yours truly has the Jenna Jameson (variant) Cheerleader figure sitting on my desk at the studio. Series IV of the collection has just been released.

Joey Ramone Action Figure

It was inevitable… the late great Joey Ramone has been finally immortalized in… plastic! Joey stands at an impressive 12″ tall and features this punk pioneer with his trademark sunglasses, draped hair and microphone in hand. I’ve seen the figure at most of the better comic book stores around town (Minotaur, Alternate Worlds, Comics R Us and Just Collectables all have Joey in stock!). I think he’s gonna look kick ass on my desk! Gabba-gabba-hey!
