Spectacular craftsmanship!

I have always been a Star Wars fan since seeing the original film in May of 1977. This book by Sideshow collectibles contains a showcase of their amazing craftsmanship of Star Wars figures and busts. It is unbelievable the amount of detail and work that goes into these figures - most look lifelike. This beautifully done book allows any Star Wars fan an opportunity to enjoy Sideshow's fine work and maybe inspire one to purchase one of their amazing figures. Nice work Sideshow!

I don’t usually write reviews. This is my first on Amazon. But this book is so amazing, I had to write a review. Having been a fan of Star Wars since the early days and a fan of Sideshow Collectibles, this book is a must have. The photography and insight into their figures and statues is a work of art. I had to be careful not to drool on the pages.

Phenomenal. If you’re a Star Wars fan or a collector of anything Star Wars, you’ll love this book. The photography is top-notch and the quality of the physical book is fantastic.

This book is fantastic! Sideshow makes some of the finest pop culture statues in the industry and it’s always fun to see some of my own work in print!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2020

Beautiful artwork and photography. The descriptions are not only fun to read but also paint a stunning picture of the creative process that goes into each piece of art. This book is huge and perfect for a coffee table conversation starter. Star Wars fans young and old will love this book.

Great book, but arrived damaged :(

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

This isn't the cheapest of books, but it has really great content, if you like the Sideshow Star Wars figures. Don't buy it if you are wanting to see anything else...My little Pony etc. ;) I am quite particular with my books and I was horrified to find that the cover on this one, arrived all creased like it had been dropped on it's corner on a concrete floor and then packaged up. The seller was very helpful and told me they would refund my money, but to be honest, I would have preferred a replacement, as I feel when a book has a certain amount of damage, I have to consider the most humane thing to do, which is to put it down - Ebay etc. The info and pic's in the book are all well laid out and presented, so Great content, Great book - but bad experience, sorry.

An expensive product catalogue for Sideshow Toys.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was not what I expected at all. No new photography, just the same old product photos from the Sideshow sales website. The interviews with the designers are uninformative and unimaginative. It's basically just an expensive SSC product catalogue with no real insight into the production process of how the collectibles are made. Very disappointing to say the least!

Tanto tempo fa, in una galassia lontana lontana...

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on February 24, 2021

È una raccolta fotografica dedicata alle statue della Sideshow, aventi come soggetto i personaggi di STAR WARS.
Sfogliando il volume, data la qualità delle immagini e della cura per il contenuto di ogni singola pagina, si ha l'impressione di fare un viaggio nella "galassia lontana lontana" e tra i personaggi che la popolano.

Il volume, infatti, è un cartonato dalle dimensioni generose (347 pagine), in cui sono presenti un gran numero di foto delle statue dedicate ai personaggi della saga di STAR WARS.
Nella maggior parte dei casi, ogni statua è corredata da una descrizione ed alcuni approfondimenti e curiosità che ne hanno caratterizzato la realizzazione. Per alcune di esse, inoltre, sono presenti anche alcuni bozzetti preparatori e modelli 3D, le versioni non definitive (ad esempio, incomplete o ancora da dipingere) ed alcune sequenze di realizzazione del prodotto finale.
Le statue presenti nella raccolta sono suddivise come:
- SIXTH SCALE FIGURES;
- PREMIUM FORMAT FIGURES;
- LEGENDARY SCALE BUSTS & FIGURES;
- LIFE-SIZE BUSTS & FIGURES;
- DIORAMAS;
- BRONZE SCULPTURES;
- ARTIST SERIES STATUES.
La raccolta si ferma al 2019.

Buona la qualità della carta e la stampa su carta lucida, anche se ho riscontrato qualche difetto in alcune pagine con lo sfondo dorato: in alcuni punti, lo sfondo è "rigato" oppure presenta degli scolorimenti dovuti, probabilmente, ad abrasione (controluce si nota una "macchia bianca": si ha l'impressione che qualcuno abbia sfregato qualcosa in quella zona per rimuovere il colore, un po' come si fa con i gratta e vinci...).
La rilegatura sembra resistente, nonostante il peso, le dimensioni e l'ingombro del volume; tuttavia, consiglio di prestare attenzione nello sfogliare le singole pagine.

Il testo è in inglese, ma facilmente comprensibile.

E' un volume che mi sento di consigliare agli amanti di STAR WARS, soprattutto se lo si considera una raccolta molto curata e dettagliata delle immagini che ritraggono i personaggi di questa saga.

Consegna nei tempi.
Imballaggio sufficiente: il volume non era avvolto dal cellofan protettivo; pertanto, una decina di pagine interne al volume presentano delle orecchiette nell'angolo in basso a destra dovute, probabilmente, allo sballottolamento del pacco durante il trasporto.
