Masters Of The Universe Diamond Ray Of Disappearance Limited Edition Prop Replica

Factory Entertainment's design team, working with Mattel, wanted to create a real-world interpretation of this important 'McGuffin' that would bridge the realms of fantasy and reality. The Factory Entertainment team spent many hours studying the vintage animation, and drew inspiration from both the 1983 and 2002 series, as well as the cover art of the 2001 commemorative VHS release. This replica has been designed to capture all the iterations as a singular blended execution.

The box was first sculpted as a 3D model. Taking inspiration from ancient ossuary boxes, fine details where then added by hand to give the appearance of age and wear. It features mystical engraved script and is cast from polystone.

The stone itself is supported on an industrial-looking cradle that houses an LED lighting effect. This effect is triggered by a hidden sensor when the box is opened, lighting the diamond from beneath.

A round-cut diamond shape was chosen to maximize the sparkle when the LED light shines through its many facets. The stone is high pressure cast in acrylic.

Every replica is supplied in a full color collector box and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Limited Edition of no more than 1,000 pieces.

The Diamond Ray Of Disappearance starts shipping July 1, 2022!

About The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

SIDESHOW INTRODUCES A LIFE-SIZE C-3PO

Programmed for etiquette and protocol, and fluent in over six million forms of communication, the fussy, nervous, and worrisome protocol droid with the designation C-3PO™ is not a likely candidate for acts of heroism. However, alongside his stalwart companion R2-D2™, C-3PO has found himself at the forefront of the action in many pivotal moments in galactic history.

Sideshow's latest luxury Star Wars™ collectible is an incredibly detailed and highly realistic C-3PO Life-Size Figure! This fan-favorite protocol droid stands an impressive 6’2” tall, and is situated on a Millennium Falcon™-inspired display base that mimics the ship's flooring and circuitry details.

C-3PO’s signature shining gold exterior is meticulously weathered and worn to match his on-screen appearance. The arms of the C-3PO Life-Size Figure are articulated at the shoulder joints and can be rotated to change up his posture. The magnetic restraining bolt can be removed from his torso.
 
The C-3PO Life-Size Figure also comes programmed with a randomized voice track feature. He can recite a number of iconic lines from his adventures through the Skywalker™ saga using the remote control provided. His eyes also include a light-up function that can be activated via a button on the back of his head.

Factory Entertainment Reveals 3 More SDCC Exclusives

After an exhausting day of developing complex and intricate collectibles, the Factory Entertainment team likes to wind down with an equally complex evening meal. And what better way to serve a rich and flavorful Chilean Sea Bass than on a 1:1 scale prop replica of the dinner plate on which this meal, of both exquisite taste and high quality, was served in Jurassic Park.

This officially licensed 10.5 inch prop replica plate comes with a display stand and certificate of authenticity. Get yours before they go extinct! Limited to 1000 pieces. Order yours HERE!

HOT TOYS REVEALS NEW CLONE WARS FIGURES AND BARC SPEEDERS

One set features Commander Appo™ with a BARC Speeder™ and the other set features a Heavy Weapons Clone Trooper™ with a BARC Speeder and Attachable Sidecar.

The BARC speeder allows clone troopers increased operational range, speed, mobility, and firepower otherwise unavailable to a foot soldier. A more aggressive and bulkier design than the Jedi speeder bikes™, the BARC speeder was used in scouting and escort missions on a variety of worlds.

Both sets are available for pre-order now via Sideshow.com.

Fans can check out these exciting new products (and more!) in Sideshow's booth #2719 at Star Wars™ Celebration this week!
