Sideshow First! 2023: Event Overview and Schedule

Everybody remembers their first … geek epiphany, of course! The moment it all clicked. Behind every fan, there’s a collection of great memories. Being a geek has always been part of your life, from that first nerdy movie you watched to that first figure or statue that made you realize, “Wow, I really am a geek — and it’s awesome!” And that’s something worth celebrating!

So from Monday, January 23 to Friday, January 27, Sideshow’s First! Event will celebrate what it means to be a geek and a collector. Basically, you get to re-live your fandom firsts with us all throughout the week. The Wrap-Up Show and That Sideshow Show will catch you up on the day’s events, share product spotlights, and give a preview of what’s coming next!

Get more information below, including when to watch our livestreams (exclusively in Let Your Geek Sideshow) and, of course, the giveaway prize list.
