If you have questions about Sideshow products, customer service, or events, chances are our Ministry of Information contains the answers! The Customer Service section contains many helpful tips about pre-ordering, shipping, and even making sure you receive our e-mail correspondences without delay. Plus our very informative Ask Sideshow section archives every single one of our past 'Ask Sideshow' Q&A sessions with Sideshow Creative Team insiders. If you've ever wondered if we'll be making armored characters in our Star Wars 12-inch line (or something equally as juicy), the answer is probably contained within the Ask Sideshow vault! We urge you to take this opportunity to search through the recesses and find hidden treasure within our Ministry of Information.

Take a first look at the awesome one sheet for the upcoming film, 'Aliens VS Predator: Requiem'! And don't forget to watch the 'red band' trailer... but be careful! It's heavily R-rated (need we say that it contains tons of violence?). Or you can stick to the International trailer for a little less gore. This film is set to be released on Christmas Day, 2007... and really, we can't think of anything more fun than gathering the family together to watch some terrifying alien monsters fight it out on the big screen. Count us in, especially since the special effects, created by our friends at ADI, are guaranteed to knock our socks off! [AvP:R one sheet revealed!] [View trailers and film info]
