hey it's norm from tested here still at sideshow for psycho con paul you guys have been running
all week just showcasing different products that you guys have worked on your partners have worked
on and you know we talked about some of the the figures and statues that sideshows developed and
you know like a flagship partner like hot toys of course but i want to put a spotlight on some of
the lesser known at least maybe in the casual community collectors uh of manufacturing and this
is a stand of figures from 3-0 yes it's almost like a shrine to 3-0 they're so
great i mean we can start right here with a pretty familiar face yeah they have a game
of thrones license yes sir jorah mormont here this is specifically from season eight
um and if there's one thing i think that you know the folks over at 3-0 do
is they really take on that challenge like i mean game of thrones had an award-winning costume team
yep so they are tasked with bringing that to the sixth scale format and they absolutely nailed it
i mean specifically with the likeliness we've got to ian glenn uh we've got him holding heartsbane
which is the sword that he's got there i mean it is incredible i love this piece so much um
and one of the things that we will take note of is 3-0 has this really fun way of i think doing armor
that i feel is like a signature for them and then we'll see in one of our pieces up here but before
we go that maybe someone uh that would not be a fan of heartsbane here would be the demogorgon
from stranger things such an impressive piece i feel and now this actually comes with two head
sculpts okay so this will come with the closed head sculpt and of course the dentist's nightmare
head sculpt as i call it uh this is absolutely beautiful and horrifying i mean that's one of the
greatest i think compliments you could probably give them you're like it's horrifying it's
getting goosebumps looking at the teeth right because this character mostly hidden in shadow
jaws like it's foreboding but like to have it here and yeah in person in sixth scale format
it's got like that insane gloss on it that just brings so much realness um and again
just the various textures that three zero has put again from you know we've got i guess what we'll
call it the face yeah uh too you know his legs just i mean they've absolutely crushed it i can
notice you know the joint work is really well because it's poseable right this is six skills
and you're gonna have them crawling menacing terrorizing shrieking yeah you know and that's
a it's from the horror universe oh yeah definitely and they take that also to our original ip this is
from the court of the dead um that we uh have really fostered and we absolutely love from the
mind of tom gilliland now we've got up here we've got uh demethyl who essentially is he's called the
reaper general now there are you can go to court of the dead dot com if you want to know everything
about these two characters here but specifically when talking about the armor that we see here
again they've got this way of just placing armor that feels so natural specifically when you look
at like the chain mill here uh you can just feel the natural textures like this looks like metal
that looks like chainmail and that carries over to what you see with jorah as well so that's
what i was sort of mentioning that there's so much texture there was so much realness brought to this
um and of course you know tom entrusted them with bringing this to life i mean there's a ton of
great great uh pieces on here that's so creepy i'm noticing like the little arm
right there you're right about the chain mail when i think of characters that are shrunken
down to sixth scale chainmail is a tough thing to do sometimes maybe fabric with a screen print yeah
you know here i can actually see through the tiny holes and it looks like mail yeah i mean and not
of course not mentioned the terrifying head sculpt we've got with all of the various cut and so
i mean you know it's not just the same fabric in different places you can tell it's various lengths
various widths of fabric and density of parts of these fabrics we've of course got the terrifying
you know like boots or gauntlets i guess they would be i mean it's a beautiful piece and then
sort of moving down very similar to my favorite character in the court of the dead this is
malavestros who's sort of your guide and narrator through the entire court of the dead he's sort of
a jester doesn't you know the court of the dead is broken up into three factions you've got bone
spirit and flesh he doesn't belong to really to any of them he's sort of a rogue um and he's this
creepy terrifying court gesture you see the skulls skulls everywhere i mean loves it there there
there wow yeah absolutely beautiful and again just another showcase of you know the mixed media
you've got of course this is completely sculpted up here but then right next to it you've got
the cut and so that we have been mentioning with uh 3-0 i mean they they crushed i love
this piece so much and to be a manufacturer in today's day and age working at sixth scale they
have to have expertise in likenesses you know the likeness scope and of course the posability
of the body form and the materials for an organic character like this i know they announced you know
power ranger line oh yeah incredible again trying to recreate how we imagine and how we
perceive our power rangers we watched it when we were younger yeah but at sixth scale at the same
time they also have the transformers line oh right which is a whole different beast pun intended
there it's a whole different piece there and we've got i mean it's it's wonderful because it's a
different type of material they're working with so it's not as easy as you know maybe creating
the same body type that you've got with jorah or malevestros here um it's working with that die
cast which they have absolutely uh done a you know rock solid job i mean i'll let you know if you're
looking for transformers that feel hefty that feel and have the detail like you see in the bumblebee
movie of course they did those characters so right the bumblebee the optimus even the
characters just not prologue from bumblebee like the the decepticons and the autobots there right
in different color ways like they become those dlx scale figures as they call them a real nice
way to get into this this style figure um but there's one more that i saw from the 3-0 lineup
that i want to take a look at that you have over there can we take a look at that yeah
let's go okay this has got my attention and attention of a lot of the fans out there this
is one 12th scale ironman mark 43 as seen in age of ultron and of course the mark 44 hulkbuster oh
yeah this is a wonderful wonderful piece and again uh you can of course get them separately
but i would obviously recommend getting them together because if it's inside he does fit inside
he does and um he's got i mean it's got a crazy amount of articulation that you would expect
from a posable figure like this i'd be over 40 points of articulation on the hulkbuster alone
that's the thing like the hulkbuster it was a unique design they never made a physical
one obviously right movie at cg but it's when you want to both translate the physical form of this
and then also still have things like lights but also electronics and posability posability and
hulkbuster don't usually go they do not no because i mean it's such a uh it's such a hulking piece
yeah and it's it's huge and it's you know the purpose in world is to combat the incredible hulk
but you know when you make it practically it's got a lot of pieces and um honestly 3-0 bringing
this to 112th scale had a huge uh you know task in front of them and they definitely stepped up
to the plate i think with this because it looks so good and being able to have something that
has over 40 points of articulation is incredible specifically with you know the lighting and again
um if you don't have the room for maybe some of the the sixth scale you know ones that are huge
this is great you're still gonna have fun posing it photographing it you know doing your diorama
your your scenes uh they took on the challenge of doing this they also took on the challenge i know
of doing from a transformers film optimus combined with the blackberry you know
fire at the end oh yeah yeah we are i mean maybe stay tuned we may have that inside show khan you
know we uh can't give any spoilers away just yet we've got a long long week ahead of us but
we are uh i mean if it is any indication of what this is and what they have done and what we've
seen it's going to be incredible ah that's an unbelievable breathtaking thing i've seen on
the post on instagram um so what are the other kind of partners and other products that you
are excited about that you want to give a shout out to yeah i mean i personally am a huge fan of
our our friends over at kotabukiya iron studios blitzway just uh again folks who make incredible
uh statues again that are at a size that i think is appropriate for like my work desk
because while i do have some statues and i have some sick scales i don't have a ton of room for
them and they do a great job of you know bringing some of these licenses like we will see some uh
some stuff from black widow coming up and they did an incredible job of making dynamic action
poses that you would expect to come right off the screen yeah so i mean that's just some of the many
many partners that we have that we're going to showcase during sideshow con and we're really
really excited for everyone to see it that's why it's great to be a fan like licenses are getting
picked up you know it's not just marvel dc you got transformers you got ninja turtles you got
different scales one twelfth one tenth one six one quarter scale yeah everything and even the
big pieces if you have the space for it if you've got them yeah i mean it's uh it's wonderful and
we're we're so excited to be able to sort of bring that and bring that con feeling back for everyone
who i know has been missing it all right well as you're watching this sideshow khan is underway and
as we're recording you guys are just getting ready so good luck this week paul thank you so much
