Sideshow Collectibles is now shipping the ‘Battle of the Last Alliance’ Sauron vs. Numenorean Army Diorama. As the name implies, the dynamic diorama features the Dark Lord Sauron swinging his mace as the valiant Numenorean Army goes flying. Having just received this piece myself, I must say, the description does not do justice for the scale and action contained within in it. If you have any interest in the Last Alliance battle sequence from Fellowship of the Ring, this piece perfectly captures one of the more dramatic moments. Sideshow is also hosting their annual Fantacular where you can get a free promo item with the purchase of instock collectibles. Check it all out at SideshowCollectibles.com. If you do end up owning this piece, please take a moment to share your thoughts in our forum! [Battle of Last Alliance Diorama] [Sideshow Fantacular]

As part of the month-long Fantacular celebration, Sideshow Collectibles has posted a interactive showcase of their entire The Lord of the Rings Legendary Scale Bust Collection. Hidden next to Aragorn is an item we have not seen before – and well, the Horn of Gondor sorta gives it away! We’ll probably see a preview for this piece in the next Sideshow newsletter. Follow the link to see the full Legendary Scale Bust collection and the new tease of Boromir. If you want to start your collection, the Aragorn and Legolas pieces are currently available as instock.

Last week, Sideshow Collectibles revealed a small thumbnail of their upcoming Comic-Con 2009 Exclusive – ‘Mount Doom’ Sam and Frodo Diorama. In the latest edition of Sideshow TV (Sideshow’s video podcast), they have revealed many more views of the piece. While the podcast covers all of their Comic-Con 2009 exclusives, the Sam and Frodo portion is around the 4 minute mark. Check it out! [Feedburner] [iTunes] [Comic-Con Exclusives]
For those of you who may not be aware, each year at Comic-Con, collectible companies release specific items just for folks attending the show. This year, Sideshow is releasing seven exclusives, one of which is a special Lord of the Rings item titled ‘Mount Doom’ – The Sam and Frodo Diorama. While we only have a teaser pic (see right) – one can deduce the diorama will feature one of the most dramatic sequences in Return of the King, when Sam struggles to carry Frodo up the side of Mount Doom. If you are attending Comic-Con, you’ll need to participate in Sideshow’s Priority Pre-Order on May 21st to snag one of these collectibles. If you are NOT attending Comic-Con, you will have a shot of approximately 10% of the edition size on May 22nd. For complete details, check out SideshowCollectibles.com. [Comic-Con Exclusives]
