Thousand Oaks, California (January, 2008) - Sideshow Collectibles will be expanding its web presence by hosting a vibrant online event to parallel the annual industry toy convention held each February in New York. The Sideshow site will be showcasing product introductions and collectibles industry news, as well as video spots during the four-day event. Sideshow will not host a booth at the upcoming American International Toy Fair trade show electing to share its product focus for 2008 only on its website.
Sideshow Collectibles will highlight the importance of the collectibles industry and its commitment to its global community through events and news February 17-20, 2008, at www.sideshowcollectibles.com. Sideshow Collectibles has been regarded for its leadership role in film, television and pop culture collectibles, and this industry-wide online event will feature special announcements of new licensing alliances, product partnerships and industry information.
"Toy Fair has a predominant focus on mass-market products, and rightfully so," explains Greg Anzalone, Sideshow President. "Sideshow has displayed at Toy Fair for six or more years, but we no longer feel the need for a physical presence at this event. We can better serve our distribution, trade store accounts, and global partners via our website. The Sideshow site has a much more specific focus on the collectibles industry," said Anzalone. "Our products are low-run limited editions, crafted by some of the best artists in the world and are specifically meant for the discerning adult collector. Our website offers the best vehicle to present our upcoming film, television and pop culture collectible products," said Anzalone.
Please visit www.sideshowcollectibles.com, February 17-20, in celebration of this global marketplace and in recognition of the shared passion that makes the collectible trade possible.
