Sideshow Teams With Critical Role To Create Licensed Character Collectibles

Through a brand-new partnership with the team behind Critical Role, the most popular story-driven and world-building digital media brand in the world, Sideshow is poised to launch a new collection of fine art and collectible figures based on the show’s popular and long-running campaigns set in the fantastical world of Exandria.

Critical Role has grown from a role-playing game between friends into a massive entertainment phenomenon, incorporating tabletop games publishing, comic books, graphic novels, multiple programming initiatives, animation, philanthropy, community building, and more. With games led by veteran storyteller and voice actor Matthew Mercer, the team includes fellow voice actors Travis Willingham, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, and Sam Riegel. These campaigns are rich with charming original characters, fearsome creatures, and expansive fantasy landscapes that have captured the imaginations of a global fan community, known as the Critters.

Critters can now look forward to exciting new Critical Role collectibles from Sideshow, the makers of museum quality statues, figures, and fine art, celebrating the legendary heroes of both campaigns, Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein.

Sideshow’s Critical Role collection will feature fine art prints and three-dimensional figural art so you can gather your favorite characters into an adventuring party for the ages.

Anna Van Slee, Brand Director of Sideshow, said, “As fans and tabletop gamers ourselves, Sideshow is extremely excited to be partnered with Critical Role to bring Critters around the globe new premium-quality, limited-edition collectibles of Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein. Working closely with the cast to stay faithful to fan-favorite, canonical representations of the characters, we are hoping to make these wondrous items as glorious as any goods Shaun Gilmore or Pumat Sol would sell to adventurers.”

The deal was negotiated by Critical Role’s Licensing Agent, Jason Kletzky, President of Collaborations. Collaborations is a full-service licensing agency based in Los Angeles.
