Peter Jackson Collection
Collaboration Between Sideshow Toy and Acclaimed Film Director Peter Jackson
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA � February 2002 � The Sideshow Toy, World War I collectible military figure line, "Bayonets and Barbwire" further expands its offering in 2002. Many additions have been planned for a line that is hailed by collectors who appreciate high-end, historically accurate figures. The design pillars of the "Bayonets and Barbwire" line are the knowledge and passion of a dedicated team of Sideshow military enthusiasts united in their love of historical research and the subsequent achievement of product accuracy.
The most exciting addition to the WWI line is the newly formed collaboration between Sideshow Toy and acclaimed film director Peter Jackson. Peter is currently celebrating the immense success of, "The Fellowship of the Ring," the first film of his three film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's, The Lord Of The Rings.
Peter is a passionate "Great War" historian and collector and has one of the largest personal collections of uniforms and artifacts from the First World War. His extensive collection contains original uniforms, historical documents, small arms and machine guns and even a collection of British and German fighter planes.
It is with great pleasure that Sideshow announces a collaborative venture with Peter on future "Bayonets and Barbwire" product by establishing, "The Peter Jackson Collection," a brand that will add accuracy and vision to military figure collecting.
