Win our swag! Sideshow Collectibles gift cards contest photo

Did that Sideshow Collectibles gallery from San Diego Comic Con make you weep with desire? Don't be ashamed. We did too. I actually stood in front of the case with the Legend Darkness bust and choked back my arousal for a full ten minutes. I think some of the booth employees were afraid of my facial contortions.

Sideshow, however, were smart. They know that some of their items (okay, okay, MOST of their items) fall outside the price ranges of collectors that desperately want them, so they eased a bit of that pain by handing out mystery gift cards at Comic-Con. All you had to do to find out the amounts was go to their website and plug in the number and you found out how much it was worth. Between our Tomopop team covering the con, we had four cards, and had we put them all together we probably could have made a sizable dent in the price of any one thing any of us wanted.

That would be really great, but we thought of something greater: giving them away. We have one $75 card, one $50 and two $15, and if you reply in the comments and tell us what Sideshow Collectibles item you really really want, we'll enter you in our contest drawing. Next Monday (August 4th) we will choose 4 winners and mail you your gift cards. They will be sent out at random to the four winners, so you'll have to wait to see which one you get, but anticipation is half the fun, right?

Good luck to everyone!

I really want that Iron Man statue. It makes me tingle in my bathing suit area.
I want the Alien Pile, which was delayed a bit to October, but I ordered that as my 1 sideshow must have. I'm waitinglist on the Asajj Ventress with the alternate head, but I have yet to order Snake Eyes. So with a card, I'd put in for Snake Eyes.
I would kill for that foot tall iron man. It had lights and was so shiny and prettty. I love the Iron Man suit design, but all figures/statues are too expensive...
I really really want this Vega statue:

Seeing it in person made me realize how groin-grabbingly amazing it really is.
From the pictures in the gallery, I'd probably get Raiden from MGS4 or the Iron Man one. I also went to their website and saw that they have a Skull Kid statue from the Legend of Zelda that looks pretty sweet too :D
I would love the Major Makoto Kusanagi figure, it looks so beautiful.
I'd go for the Iron Man or Hellboy...and by "go" I mean whore myself out. So, to keep me off the streets, you should declare me a winner...or else you are promoting male prostitution and will have to live with that for the rest of your life.

The rest of your life.

Unless you are into that sort of thing...if that's the case, you can find me on the corner of 4th and Market after 11pm on August 5th. I'll be the confused-looking one.
I'd likely put it towards one of the World War Robot Bertie's. But there's so much good stuff in the gallery alone its hard to choose. Iron Man looks great, the Hellboy stuff looks outstanding, and the giant Street Fighter figures look amazing.

Clearly its a difficult choice. But I think I can make it. And whatever I'd wind up getting could fight Crappy Cat to the death.
Iron Man or Kusonagi from GITS
My most desired piece from Sideshow Collectibles? That damn 1:4 scale Alien Queen bust. Only $1,000. But it's sold out, so it's a moot point.

As for what they have available, I'd love to get my mitts on that Dirty Deeds variant of the World War Robots.
It'd be tough to put such a great giftcard into savings, but I'd definitely cut back on record store trips for a month to get Dirty Deeds.. Ashley Woods' work in 3-D is just.. well.. beautiful.

Or L. Or Raiden. Or the Bespin Luke Skywalker.

It's like choosing between high-class prostitutes (oxymoron, inorite?). They all look so goddamn good and cost so goddamn much, but deciding which one is least likely to have relevant political press connections and a pension for post-coital vendetta can be really tough when all you have to go off is streetlight breast shadow and varied fruity lipgloss.

You know? You know.
Iron Man, Raiden or Snake.
That Iron man one is really sweet, I would want that one.
cards work for in stock or backordered, so cosbaby it is: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=6354

still didnt stop me from ordering snake eyes..win for sideshow, win for me.
