For years now Sideshow Collectibles have been redefining the concepts of convention exclusives by not only offering fantastic pieces, but also by addressing the issue of the horribly endless lines such exclusives create. As outlined on the
Sideshow Collectibles web site and in the Rebelscum stories linked below, Sideshow has created programs to allow their customers to acquire these exclusives without waiting in line by pre-ordering them before the show. At the same time, Sideshow is putting 10% of each exclusive aside for customers that cannot attend the show. At this time they still haven't announced when these pre-orders will take place, but we can tell you that they will all be staggered, so if you are interested in more than one, you won't have to worry about missing anything when they go up… so long as you are fast with the ordering. Keep your eyes on Rebelscum for up to the second news on these pre-orders.
As for the meat of the matter, the ten exclusives are as follows:
Star Wars: Darth Vader (Anakin) - Sith Apprentice 12-inch figure
Star Wars - Medicom Toy: Vinyl Super Deformed figure (Brand New Character)
IDW Publishing: Popbot Lady Sham polystone statue
Marvel: Dr. Doom Marvel Archive Prop Replica set
Michel Gagné's Twisted Rabbits: Scorpion Tail Rabbit polystone statue
New Line Horror: Dream Warriors Freddy Krueger 12-inch figure

In the case of the Darth Vader figure, fear not true believers, Sideshow knows that a lot of collectors are going to want this so they have increased the size of its production run. While it will still be an extremely limited quantity, the production number will be substantially larger than previous exclusives.
