Review of Beetlejuice Sixth Scale Action Figure
Sideshow Collectibles

Introduction
There are certain licenses in this world that simply have never gotten the 1/6th scale treatment they deserve. Sometimes this is because of licensing Hell, a situation that went on for years with the 1966 Batman television series, and has caused problems for others like the original Bladerunner. But that's not the only reason.
Companies have always believed that the best success can be achieved when you can build a brand around a license. Just look at the success of brands like Star Wars, Marvel, or DC, from a company like Hot Toys. While every movie within the brand might be new, the brand remains consistent. And there are lots and lots of movies and TV shows out there that simply don't lend themselves to long term branding. There's often just one really good character in the license, and this causes consternation for any company, including sixth scale manufacturers. They'll often look to find ways around this - think Movie Maniacs, Cinema of Fear, or Now Playing, where different companies created a single brand name to collect these one off characters.
Sideshow took up the cause of lonely characters awhile back, seeing a hole in the market. The first such release was Snake Plissken, and they are following it up with Beetlejuice (reviewed tonight) and Ash from Evil Dead (review very soon, if shipping dates hold). Let's hope we see some more of these one off announcements by SDCC this summer.
