Unboxing Sideshow Collectible’s Tinkerbell Statue
The art of Jeffrey Scott Campbell...it’s truly a beautiful thing. He has beefed his talents up throughout the years and has come a long way since his Gen 13 days. Speaking of, go check out @modernzorker’s recent posts reviewing those very books. Very fun!
Anyway, Campbell has built an empire off of his amazing works and Statue manufacturer and industry giant Sideshow Collectibles has taken notice. They now have a line called the Fairytale Fantasies Collection and the pieces are all based on the fine artworks of this modern master.
The first piece in the line was The Little Mermaid. There are actually several versions of this specific piece. Mainly paint variations but the one cool thing about the purple tailed version was that it was a limited edition run only available through Sideshow’s Retail Partners (we are one of them). That version was never available through Sideshow...just in stores at local shops. I love this idea and wish Sideshow would do it a bit more often as driving traffic to local shops is an important piece in keeping this industry healthy.
The mermaid pieces are very pretty. We had the store exclusive version with the purple tail in pur shop...2 of them actually and they are both gone now. Lots of detail and the face just screams “Campbell”!!!
The next piece in the line is the Tinkerbell piece which just arrived in my shop about an hour ago!!! It ships in a nice normal box that features Campbell’s art. Upon opening, I noticed it comes in 3 pieces...the head, the body, and the base. Simple enough!!!
Putting it together took about 15 seconds and it seems to hold together well. Lately I’ve had some loose pegs and wobbly pieces from them so it’s a relief that this seems tight and secure. I absolutely love the base on this piece as it’s a golden compass. Her wings are beautiful and the piece while petit, gives off a very elegant look.
This piece is limited to 3500 in the world and we received #181 on the one I opened. We have another set aside for a gentleman who pre ordered it several months back. Retail price is around the $300 range on this but I have a feeling that down the road, these will all increase. As more pieces are introduced into the line, the machine starts moving and folks getting into the new pieces suddenly want the older ones. Happens all the time in this silly world...
Let’s take a peek at this lovely fairy...
But my favorite piece in the line so far...os one that’s not out yet. This badass Alice piece has such an awesome base to it. So colorful and fun. I’ll definitely be adding one of these to my collection when it releases later in the year. Feast yer eyes on this beauty!!!
Okay...okay...so the production photo that I yanked from Sideshow’s site fantasizes it a bit with the background. But even with a drab colored wall behind it, it’s still a thing of beauty.
Thanks for peeking folks!

These remind me of some anime porn I stumbled on recently!
“Stumbled on” is codeword for “shit you asked me to send you”.
Anddd busted!
The ladies above aren't really hiding much though eh!
Nope. They are letting it just all hang out there. These companies know this industry is filled with creeps. They aren’t dumb. Lol

Bonus video they just uploaded this past week that compliments your photoset perfectly.
Great pictures btw. That Alice is going to be a seller, that Cheshire Cat looks amazing as that base.
Badass!! Thx sir. The Alice just reeks of beauty. Saw it in person at comic con and boy was it purdy.

Be honest now, is this a thinly veiled excuse to stare at ladies' bottoms? :P
Kidding, they really are lovely. I like the Alice one most, it's very dark. Though that first Little Mermaid one also has something that captures the attention.
Somehow, I've never heard of this mister Campbell, but he seems really f-ing talented.
Cool photos, by the way!
That’s it! That’s my next feature and it’ll be dedicated to you. Creepy butt shots of the statues in my shop. Brilliant!!!
Yeah they are really sharp. J Scott Campbell has been working in comics for a long time but in the past 10 years or so, he’s blown up to epic proportions. He did one of our exclusive variant covers for our shop on a spider issue several years back.

That sounds awesome :D both about Campbell and about the butts :))) I'd be honored to have my name associated with a creepy butt show.
No, that is not as weird as it sounds.
Man, I just googled him . He is freaking amazing 😶

Yeah he has some impressive works and some of his books fetch an insane chunk of change.
I am totally going to do this creepy topic and say you asked for it. Lol
Aaa he's the same guy who did the covers for those fancy comic numbers you gave us, isn't he? I just looked 😍😯

Lololol
Awesome!!!
I know :)) I was just looking at the same thing (practically stumbled on them, looking Campbell up). Trust me, I am in awe. I mean, here, a hundred dollars is quite a bit of money, ya know)...
You really are an angel. Or maybe an alien. To give away something so valuable to a bunch of strangers...Maan.
I mean, after spending almost a week with us! I'd understand if you'd given them out at the beginning, you know, thinking we were alright, decent folk. But you knew us by then, and still, this act of kindness :O :O :O
Lol. To all the people that probably trashed em and has no idea.
❤️

Sup Dork! Enjoy the upvote!!!
I can really appreciate the quality of the work in these, even if I can't afford them... :-)
I can’t afford em either. Lol. Do t feel bad. These things are stupid expensive and have priced most customers out of the picture.

Yeah, plastic models are starting to get that way also to some extent.
Howdy sir blewitt! These are all amazing but I guess they're even turning Tinkerbell into a sex symbol now? No female character is safe are they? They're all turned into sexy heart throbs! lol.
Lol. If they can make money off of it, they’d turn you and I into sexy statues. Lol

I like how the stand is the compass, genius, good ones @blewitt.
Yeah I love when bases are cool and clever. If it just a bit I gotta base...I feel it takes away from it a bit.
