Our good pals at Sideshow Collectibles have put up so many intriguing things for pre-order lately that I am compelled to round them all up and lead them over to you. Pacific Rim is crashing its way into theatres today so they have a giant Knifehead kaiju statue (the first time I've had a real good look at him), a sixth-scale Harley Quinn figure, and a comic-styled Premium Format Black Widow to cram into your overflowing house.
I dig all three of these things, so please allow me to share more images, gushing and pre-order info... after ye olde jump...
I am seeing Pacific Rim tonight and am totally excited. In the meantime I will stare longingly at these crazy images of the new 17 inch Knifehead statue.
And if you're curious about the scale of this pointy-headed maniac, check out the wave beneath him. There's a tiny little ship on top of it about to get pwned.
Now here's a striking silhouette...
I don't know how clear a view of these things we'll get in the film once giant robots are pounding the bejeezus out of them, but it's super cool to see all the details and textures here.
I guess he's kind of like a four-armed shark/whale/cutlery kind of... aaah I have no idea what he is...
But he's been sucking on something blue...
Hopefully not a smurf.
I WILL CRUSH YOU TINY APPLE.
If the movie is nearly as much fun as I just had then, then this will be a total win. You can pre-order Knifehead right now, right here: Pacific Rim Collectibles Knifehead - Pacific Rim
Now onto a new sixth-scale figure from the comic-styled DC line. This one is the Joker's main squeeze, psychiatrist turned manic clown lady, Harley Quinn...
I think the body, costume and prop work is excellent on this from the pictures, but I had some misgivings about that monstrous face. It's a little more extreme and ghoulish than I imagine for that character. But imagine my relief to see that you get this head as well...
That's a little more like it! I love that expression. And check out those brass knuckles! They'll imprint "HA HA" on your face, but right now they're all, "AH... AH!" Sexy.
In fact, I wasn't so keen on this at all until seeing this gallery. I really think they've done a great job...
And she's packed with plenty of iconic gadgets and accessories by the looks of it...
And the engraved knife, inset below, is the Sideshow exclusive accessory...
And here she is with the previously released Joker. Although I'm not a massive fan of the head on that one. I'd prefer it to be just a little more Killing Joke. It's very close...
And here's all the stuff you get! Except you don't get half of this stuff. Like the crate or the stairs...

And you can pre-order Harley right here if you want to secure her: DC Comics Collectibles Harley Quinn Sixth Scale Figure - Exclusive And at not a bad price compared to Hot Toys.
And finally here's a new Premium Format figure (a scale and line that I am growing to love). If you're a regular reader then you'll know that I am obsessed with the Scarjo Black Widow so, while I probably won't pick up this comic styled one, I can still appreciate the premise...
This one is a crazy 19 inches high. I know actual women who are shorter than that!
She must have some incredibly strong arm muscles! The pistol seems a little bit redundant when you're hefting that massive thing in your other hand.
Again, I'm not in love with the comic book style, but it's a pleasing rendition if you are a fan.
She kind of reminds me of Famke Jannsen here. AM I RITE U GUYZ? By the way, that knife in her hand is the Sideshow exclusive accessory. Again seems a little uneccessary when you're holding a gun that's almost as tall as you are. "Well, if they get past my 6 foot gun I guess I can always resort to this 1 inch knife!"'
And here's the base...
Snow. Because she's Russian. The exclusive accessory should have been a bottle of vodka. Zing.
You can pre-order Natasha here: MARVEL Premium Format Figure Black Widow - Natasha Romanova Premium Format Figure EXCLUSIVE
You guys are going to buy all this stuff, right?!
