PSYLOCKE!

The mutant known as Psylocke crouches silently atop a crumbling pagoda, her hand resting comfortably on the sheath of the razor sharp katana at her hip.

She gazes into the night, her focused and determined expression softly lit by both the cold glow of the full moon and the violet hue of the second (and even more powerful) blade in her arsenal — a shimmering knife composed of pure psi-energy.

Sideshow's latest Marvel comics-inspired Premium Format™ Figure is a fully sculpted and hand-painted statue that includes an unusual and atmospheric forced perspective base to create a dramatic diorama for your X-Men collection.

To find out more, and see additional images of the new limited edition Psylocke Premium Format™ Figure, visit Sideshow.com.  

Pre-Order Psylocke HERE!
 

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 12 DAYS OF SIDESHOW

 

Between December 25 and January 5, Sideshow's annual 12 Days of Sideshow showcase gave us the first look at a wealth of new and upcoming pop culture inspired statues and art from Sideshow and its partners.

Here's a rundown of all the new reveals... 

The first reveal from 12 Days of Sideshow was epic!

This enormous Phoenix and Jean Grey Maquette will make an impressive centerpiece for any X-Men themed collection! 

Inspired by Jean Grey's iconic transformation from Marvel's X-Men comics, this newly revealed statue features two fully sculpted figures in a fiery environment base — Jean Grey stands in the foreground, her mind wracked with psychic influence as Phoenix rises behind her with flaming wings outstretched. Jean Grey is dressed in her classic blue and yellow ‘90s costume while her Phoenix incarnation wears her distinct green and black bodysuit.

Logan comes with six interchangeable hands - both with and without his trademark claws extended.
