Sideshow Collectibles, founded in 1994, is an American specialty manufacturer and distributor of licensed and original collectible products, primarily high-end figures, statues, and art prints based on pop culture icons. Starting as a motion picture prop and special effects firm named Sideshow Productions in 1993, the company shifted its focus exclusively to the collectibles market in 1994. Initially, Sideshow created toy prototypes for major toy companies before launching its own line of collectibles in 1999. The company partners with major entertainment brands like Marvel, Disney, DC Comics, and Lucasfilm.
Sideshow is known for its dedication to accuracy and artistry, employing skilled sculptors, model makers, painters, and costumers. These artisans create intricately detailed likenesses of characters from film, television, comic books, and video games. The company offers a wide range of collectibles in various scales and formats, including sixth scale figures, premium format figures, statues, busts, and film prop replicas. Sideshow also distributes products from other notable companies like Hot Toys and Iron Studios. Recent news includes the release of a Batgirl (Stephanie Brown Variant) statue and new Star Wars figures. In January 2026, Sideshow's revenue was US$7 million.
