Grievous Attakus vs. Sideshow

[Gianco]

Say yours!

[MONSTER]

The sideshow version rocks but I am really excited to see the finished Attakus version.

[Ghost]

Yeah I wanna wait till I see a finished version of Attakus. Not that I'd be able to afford it anyways....

[cap70]

too early to make any Polls. Attakus is not even painted yet...
IMO both will kick a$$! :buttrock:

[Zurbaran1]

I agree. I think both will be awesome. I've got the Sideshow exclusive one on order and I'm not likely to pick up the order. $450 for one Grievous is probably enough for now.

[cap70]

These Polls are pretty useless. I can't believe theres already votes on it even tough the Attakus is not even painted yet. That only shows how "usefull" those Polls are. :rolleyes2

[Tattoo-X]

How about some pics?

[Bullseye]

I prefer the pose of the Attakus but its too early to say which is the best. I have the SS Exe on order and will be happy with that.

Hey Cap use a little of imagination with the painting! You have the pose and that's the most important thing knowing Attakus is great at painting.

I like the Sideshow pose better, more dynamic, four arms with lightsabers! IMO :thumbs2:

[comicfan]

stupid poll..not even pictures.. :thumbsdow

Sorry, Gianquito my friend, but my imagination I use at work to make money. :D
When I come here and there's a comparrisson Poll( note the word "comparisson"), the least I wanna see it's PICTURES of the contesters!. ;)
Not counting the fact that both statues are not even released yet(one is not even painted).
That's why this Poll it's useless.(but you are a nice guy and I like you, so I forgive you! :thumbs2: )

ps: I may like the Attakus pose a little better but I'm not voting, cause I never saw both completed and side by side. Things can change, ya know. I have the SS exclusive on pre-order. Didn't pre order the Attakus yet. May wait until it hits the streets so I can get a better price.
IMO, Attakus pose is more "agressive", like he is on a fight.
Sideshow's pose it's more like an "aproaching", "intimidating" pose. Like he's getting ready for a fight. Both looks good and I'm pretty sure both will kick a$$!

[Zurbaran1]

...my imagination I use at work to make money. :D


Hmmm, so how are you coming up with all this money to pay for statues? :laugh:

[Gianco]

Hey Forrest Gump is not around!

.....least I wanna see it's PICTURES of the contesters!. ;)

I know the Attakus one is not even painted, like you said, but I think this poll is not useless at all, sure would be 100% usefull with the final Attakus version.

At least this poll can sound out the pre-ordering tendency.

I've just post pics to please you and some others. Christ! You guys are demanding!

By the way, you're a very nice guy too! :wink2: :laugh: I'm still grateful for the Vader pics! :laugh:

[Tattoo-X]

Thanks for the pics. They both look good.
What's the suggested retail on both?

[Gianco]

$450 for the Sideshow and $440 the Attakus

[Tattoo-X]

$450 for the Sideshow and $440 the Attakus
Thanks, figured they would both be spendy. Guess I'll have to put them on a Christmas wish list.

[Gianco]

The Sideshow version it's supposed to released 1st. Qtr. 2006, the Attakus September 2005.

[Hellboy]

I'd have to say the Sideshow statue is easily my favorite of the two and my opinion wouldn't change even if the Attakus statue was painted.

Sideshow did a better job of capturing how Grievous appeared in the film considering the only time he brandished his lightsabers was without his cape. Don't get me wrong the Attakus statue looks great I just think the Sideshow pose is more dynamic and faithful to what appeared in the film.

[Nightcrawler777]

Gotta go with the Attakus...

[Wooktroop]

sideshow

:spam: :buttrock: Yeah I wanna wait till I see a finished version of Attakus. Not that I'd be able to afford it anyways....

Both look delicious will have to purchase both.

By the time you own both no one will care. :laugh:

[Mini-Rock]

Damn that's rough Zurb! LOL!

I would love to own both, but I only need one. Congrats to you guys who will have the best of both. :)

[ATATDRIVER]

SS for me.

[cap70]

IF I was going to get a GG , I would get both. So I voted on both.

[Gibby]

Has to be attakus

[The General]

Bang for the buck it has to be SS. But which do I like better, the Attakus. Plus it's way easier to display, the SS piece is monsterous.

[Shangrilien]

Now that Attakus Grievous is officialy on pre-order, I think I can vote ;)

PS : what a bump ! :D

[Hellboy]

Originaly I was just going to get the SS piece but after seeing the pictures of the Attakus Grievous I'll probably end up getting both. Each of these are incredible statues and I think they're just different enough that I can justify adding both of them to my collection.

[Synergy]

Both look great But I'm going with SS ...

[Gianco]

Both already released. What do you think now? Updated pics:

[JSA]

I'm getting both, and I think they both look fantastic, so I'll be happy either way.

JS :)

[SpenK]

I will have them both at the end of the month :eplus2:

[Hellboy]

I'll be getting both eventually but can only afford the SS version right now. Based on the pictures I've seen I think they both look great and I like each for different reasons. I'm sure it will be hard to pick a favorite.

[fubeca]

I'm going with SS. But I would love to see both side by side. Attakus version looks short to me.

[tarim69]

Sideshow by lightyears.

[Shangrilien]

I'm going with SS. But I would love to see both side by side. Attakus version looks short to me.... in comparison to the SS version ? Sure. Attakus is 16.5 " tall and SS is 25 ".

I think it's nice to see both statues being appreciated for different reasons. I guess it means these two manufacturers achieved great works in their own particular way from the same chararcter, and in the end, it's only resulting in making SW collectors happy, no matter if they choose one or the other ... or both :sly2: :D

Well said, and I couldn't agree more.

[Phart007]

I already have the Attakus Grievous and am well pleased with it. :)

But to be honest, i think the Sideshow version could be better due to Grievous' pose. :)

I'm going to get the Sideshow version, but it'll be the only Star Wars statue that i purchase from Sideshow, i'm sticking to Attakus & Gentle Giant. :buttrock:

Based on the pictures, it's not even close. Of course the SS version is much nicer, though the Attakus one is nice too.

[bruceb]

why the organs so different? who is right? attakus looks more detailed

[Mini-Rock]

The organs on the Attakus Grievous are definitely more detailed. After watching ROTS today, it doesn't seem like Attakus or SS really got that down. Gotta give credit to Attakus for going the extra mile though.

For me if the SS GG was not mixed media i would like it even more.

[SpenK]

So here you have it, i Just got my Attakus Grievous..............And I am blown away it is amazing........... to be honest i have to say that the organs of the attakus look better than the SS version ( that I also own :eplus2: )....... Both are amazing Pieces................ I WILL KEEP THEM BOTH :buttrock: ........................ who ever said that the attakus piece looked like a cartoon or something like that HAS NOT SEEN IT IN PERSON............................... just a couple of pics i did not fully take it out of the box ................. :)

[Mini-Rock]

I agree; the organs on the Attakus GG are far more detailed. Neither the Attakus or SS Grievous are film accurate though, but you have to give Attakus credit for going the extra mile. The cape on the Attakus GG is better detailed too. Spen, side-by-side pics of the two are in order. :)

[PitViper]

I got both the Attakus piece and the SS EX and would have to give a slight edge to Attakus for the organs and sculpted cape. They are both top notch pieces but my eyes always seem to san over the SS piece and gravitate towards the Attakus.

Just a matter of personal preference as both companies did outstanding jobs. :buttrock: :buttrock:

[kingdomhearts]

About the organs on the attakus grievous, those organs supposed to have colors?

It doesnt make sense if the organs have multicolor.

I have to really watch it again in detail, but thats what i think.............. anyway with those color it looks cool as hell.......................... :buttrock:

[Shangrilien]

Well, if the movie doesn't show colored organs, Attakus Grievous clearly sucks. Movie accuracy prevails. Period.

Hi,Shangrilien,sorry you are wrong,please check:star wars ,the making of star wars ROTS (by J.W.Rinzler),page 186 for the picture of the GG internal organ,it's show a colored organ...(thsi is an official book from lucas film book),so the info is correct.....i think SS grievous internal organ is totally sucks..... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[kingdomhearts]

Rather the organ supposed to be multicolor or not, we should focus base on overall product. In my opinion, ss grievous is more realistic and the pose is much better than attakus especially with the 4 arms. I go for ss grievous all the way :buttrock:

but SS made a totally different internal organ ,it's not teh original design from Lucas film,i don;t know why SS made it like this,the only thing we know is: SS made a mistake on this part.(why we call this a PF collection?)is this really realistic ????i know SS grievous is a good item,but the SS grievous internal organ is totally look bad and a mistake on this part :laugh:

[Mini-Rock]

Thanks for posting the pic of GG's organs from the book ump. I don't have a scanner, so I was unable to do that. I agree with ump. The organs on the Attakus are far more detailed than the SS GG. I'm not sure why SS chose to go the route they did with the organs. They do still produce a great effect overall though. Neither aren't accurate, but you gotta give Attakus credit for trying to get it as right as possible.

Other than that, I agree with kingdom regarding the pose, style, and scale of the SS GG. This is where SS totally got it right.

Vader: I'm guessing it is a proto. :)

[cap70]

I REALLY can't choose a favorite between these two pieces right now. I own the SS piece, and want to buy the Attakus so I can compare them side by side and maybe be able to choose a favorite. Attakus seems to have better details on the cape and organs, and the paint scheme seems more truthful to the movie, but SS version it's bigger, have an awesome pose and have a HUGE advantage:
You can see the amazing details on his back. The Attakus piece it's more like a statue, while the SS looks more like a computer model piece, if you know what I mean, the ones you 3d scan to do animation, that are able to be seen from all sides. Both looks superb, and both companies deserves a big kudos for making them.

Hey Cap you will stay with both (at least at the begining :) )............. because as I said Before It's the same character but the 2 are so Amazing in detail and size (the attakus is no shorty) and complexity..... the paint job on the Attakus is more detail in some Parts............. I took it out today again to look at him for a while and YES the paint detail is superb especially in the "METAL" parts of him the brush strokes are more refine than the SS One But the "Head Portion" especially the eyes of the Statue...... You have to Give it to SS Grievous.............. At The end Of The Day they are both OUT OF THIS WORLD :buttrock: ............ By The Way C. how was your weekend......................... ;)

Hey Mini ........... Sorry but as I said before i Have both of them in storage.......taking out the Attakus would de easy, but the SS will be HARD to be honesy when i took him out, to check, i did not even untied the ARMS..... and i am STILL moving to my new Place.............. so i will see what i can do :) (Dont think I am Pulling an Bill Murray Move :laugh: :laugh: )................... And that "10 Times Better" for me is a Little to Much............... Both Have Strong and Weak Points...... But Personally for me they are equally IMPRESSIVE..........

[Phart007]

Fair enough, 10 times better might have been a bit extreme, but it still wipes the floor with the Attakus version in my personal opinion.

I just wasn't all that impressed with the Attakus Grievous and now that i have the Sideshow version i'm more un-impressed with it.

Mini Rock,to be honest,i 'm really don't like the SS grievous internal organ,.....that;s a BiG mistake on SS version......(but it's seems nobody care about this part??)PF?? :confused2

[Mini-Rock]

Well, like Spen said, they both have their weak and strong points. Personally, I don't care for the lighter "plate" color, pose, and shorter scale of the Attakus GG. They did, however, do a great job with the cape, sabers, and internal organs. Both have to make changes and sacrifices for LFL, and they also have to get approval for the final product. So, what may be great on one may not be so great on the other and vice versa. In the end, they both made a great product. The more dynamic and menacing pose of the SS GG, and how it's just so much more "massive" than the Attakus GG, makes it an easy choice for me. The Attakus GG is a great little piece though as all of their non human statues are; and, if Attakus had better human likenesses, I'd have their line in my collection as well.

Oh,yes,both GG have their weak and strong points...it's correct,but why collectors started collect the high -end collectible items?i think the most important thing is they look like from the star wars movies.so,i just wonder why SS make a big mistake on the internal part.(IMO, it's a serious mistake when every body call it's a PF collectible!)of course,some people support SS,and the other support attakus.but sorry,personally,can't accept this mistake....

Thanks so much!great pictures!

[Mini-Rock]

Well, the lighter plate color on the Attakus Grievous is a "serious mistake" too, but that is not going to stop you from getting it, is it? I'm in agreement that the organs on the Attakus GG are done much better; but, even still, they are inaccurate to what was show in the movie. But, hey, if you don't like the organs on the SS GG, then go with the Attakus. :)

This is the last time my Grievous's will be seen together as the Attakus version is packing his bags and leaving home on Monday. :laugh:

This is teh first time to hear some about the wrong color painting on attakus grievous,from the part007 last pictures,both grievous color looks very good,can't see any problem on it(?),anyway,here is teh offical pictures from Lucas films :)

[Weasel]

I'm a little confused here, what did Sideshow do wrong with the Grievous organs? They look pretty good from the pictures I've seen.

[Mini-Rock]

I'm not sure what you are getting at here ump. First you want movie accuracy, and now you're using an "official pic" as your reference. Which one is it? Here is an actual pic from the movie where it clearly shows GG's more "yellowish" color:

http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/generalgrievous/img/movie_bg.jpg

If a pic isn't good enough, just watch the movie. I like that pic you posted though. Attakus should have used that pose instead of the one they have now IMO. ump, can you post a pic of your GG along with that official pic? :)

I have still waiting for my GG,i will post it when i get it,no problem at all.
i have post teh official pictures because all pictures are proof by Lucas films.that means all image are as same as in the movies.(when you see the grievous in the movies,the color may be affect by all different enviroment).yes,grievous are yellowish color on the body,but just like what i'm saing,from the last picture of phart007,it's seems not a big color difference of both GG.i don't know where is the color problem of teh attakus statue.i have post 2 different pictures of the attakus GG from 2 collectors,but it's look like 2 different color,why?the only reason is: they use a different camera and something effect by different light source.:)

[Phart007]

It's just the lighting in the room when photographed, both Grievous's are a yellowish colour.

As with the organs, i'm quite happy with the final product of both statue's. :)

[Mini-Rock]

Thanks for those pics ump. To bad there isn't a SS GG in there to compare with also. I'll repost Phart007's pic of both together:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j235/phart007/P6170005.jpg

I retract my statement then Phart. In one of the earlier pics of the two together, it looked like there was a major color difference. :)

Regardless, both are great looking pieces. I still can't get over how much bigger the SS GG is though. WOW! :buttrock:

ump, looking forward to pics. :) I'd really like to see some display pics with all your statues lined up. I'm sure it'll be awesome!

Another thing, since I dont have mine yet and see only the pic's, does SS Grievous hold his light sabers with 3 fingers while Attakus holds his with 6? Or am I just dizzy :confused: How many fingers does he have in the movie?

What SS and GG items do your own? That's too bad you have no where to display them. To me, that is the most important part of a collection. Display and presentation is what it is all about.

attakus version looks better..and almost as big as sideshow's?. can someone post a pic of sideshow grievous next to ss vader? thanks..

[Agent Zero]

If anyone has a measuring tape would you please consider measuring Sideshow Grievous, to answer the question relating to Grievous’ height in comparison to Vader’s?

thanks agent zero..but look how small grievous looks..it's out of scale...he is much taller than vader in the movies.. :(

[Mini-Rock]

Vader is 6'6" in armor and Grievous is 7' at full height standing straight up. So, they are right on. :)

I have the SS PF vader and 12" action figures (i will buy the ss grievous later), GG mini busts,all GG star wars maquette,some master replicas,and some Code 3 items..:)and many japanese toys....:)yes,i can't display all of them,my home is 400 sq feet only.... this is a big problem for me,i have keep my most part of collection i my warehouse.... :banghead:

[Mini-Rock]

Heh heh! Yeah, I know what you mean. Room is always an issue. Anyway, post some pics of the Attakus GG, with what Code3, MR, or GG items you have on display, when you get it. :)

He has 6 fingers (with 2 "thumbs") per hand. When he splits his arms, there are 3 fingers (with 1 "thumb") per hand.Thanks for the insight Shangrilien! I actualy didnt notice that in the movie, I just thought he had the extra arms folded on his back under the cape the whole time. Nice show and tell with the pic's :thumbs2: I think he is actualy cooler now knowing the thing about the arms :)

[Shangrilien]

Nah, it's the right size. They both totally tower over their Attakus counterparts too. :laugh:The bigger the better :peoples: ? So I guess the next pic makes both Attakus and SS Grievouses (???) ridiculous and lame ... :laugh:

I like that too Shang; but, I like how the SS Grievous TOWERS over the Attakus GG even better. :laugh: :buttrock:

[Batty]

I don't have the Attakus, but I'm simply blown away by the SS version (those are my photos posted above). It's so much more detailed than I imagined it would be. But having the other SW PFs, it doesn't surprise me.

Welcome, Batty! And nice name and avatar! Should we start the Blade Runner crusade? :)
One of my favorite movies of all time. I REALLY don't know why there isn't high end Blade Runner collectibles yet. I would kill for a 1/5,1/4 or 1/3 Batty and many others from BR. :(

[Batty]

Thanks! Over at Freaks I'm the resident Blade Runner nut job.

Now that the new DVDs sets will be coming out, and the licensing disputes have been settled, I'm hoping we'll see a 1/4 line. I would love a Deckard to go next to my Sideshow Han.

[cap70]

Man, that would rock. The options are endless. Rick Deckard, Roy Batty and Pris as a start would be awesome. Then Rachael, Bryant and many others as a follow ups. Not to count the many replicas, veicles etc that could also be incorporated and released. Wow, that would be awesome... :buttrock:
We NEED some high end BR collectibles.

Let's just say PFs Deckard and Batty would look as great as your SS Grievous ;) (There you go, we're back on topic :laugh: )

[Darth Torment]

This thread caught my interest, and seeing pics of both the Attakus/SS Grievous side by side has really helped me in deciding on which one to get.

I would like to ask if someone can take a photo of the SS Grievous next to an Attakus Vader II...I think since the Attakus Grievous is too small, and the SS is a bit bigger, the SS GG may scale better with Attakus..

Would REALLLLLLY appreciate if someone could take a pic like this

[Darth Vader]

since the Attakus Grievous is too small


:confused:

[Darth Torment]

Yeah he looks just a teeny small even though his legs are bent IMO, so would like to see a SS GG next to a Vader II attakus to see which of the 2 look better next to it

[Hellboy]

The SS Grievous won't look in scale with an Attakus Vader II should you choose to display them together. The difference between 1/4 and 1/5 scale is very apparent IMO.

[Darth Torment]

Yeah I am afraid it may be too, but would like to see this in a pic for myself. I really like both the Attakus AND SS versions of Grievous....hard choice! :p

[Hellboy]

Well I don't have a picture of my SS Grievous posed next to my Vader II as I've never displayed them together but I posted this pic in another thread that shows my Vader II next to Grievous. Not the best pic but maybe it will help. And for the record I don't think you can go wrong with either GG piece but if you're looking for something to go next to Vader II I would stick with the Attakus Grievous. Just my .02 though. :)

[Darth Torment]

Great pic with Maul Vader and Grievous together :)

[Slave1Pilot]

This is a really tough debate. I am suprised that nobody mentioned the fact of his arms not being separated on the Attakus. IMO they really missed an oppurtunity to display Grievous in all his glory as the sideshow version does. Typically, I think the Attakus statues look much greater than the Sideshow PF's but I have seen the Sideshow Grievous and it is amazing. This is the only sideshow I would rather have. The base on the Attakus is too bad as well.

Is anyone else typically a fan of one companys but prefers the other in this case, I think that the real indicatation of the better statue.

[Darth Torment]

Seeing both in person, now that I own the Attakus Grievous, I can really see now that he is not out of scale at all. The pictures for this Attakus statue not only not do it justice, but dont give you a good representation of the scaling and size of the piece-this is why I really had concerns about this initially. Also the base is not as bad in person than it looks in pics believe it or not, this again contributed to the scaling of the statue looking so different in person, and its relation to the base etc...(his name on the base is engraved which I did not expect- I thought it was just painted/printed on the base).
The Sideshow pose is amazing, and it is a GREAT statue- no doubt about that, but after seeing both, the Attakus one really does smoke the Sideshow one in all aspects.
The detailing, paintapp and sculpt is just amazing on the Attakus one.

This is the problem with people discussing and debating which statue line is "better". Too many people are company loyal and heavily biased. I have no idea why collectors end up like this. There is no one company that has a better version of every character than another company. If you want the best of each character then you will have to mix, and even then it may just come down to a different pose.

I think this is the case with the Grievious, I don't own a single Sideshow piece and own many Attakus and GG, but I love the pose of the Sideshow Grievious. One of the defining characteristics of General Grievious is his four arms and lightsabers, I don't understand how this was omitted from the Attakus version.

[ump]

Not like other company,Attkus has no right to choose the pose.....Another companies can make any pose they like to,but no right to Attakus,I don't know why Lucas do it like this...Maybe Attakus is not a US company,so.....I feel its really not fair to Attakus.....

True, I am aware that they LFL has final say on most of thier poses. But that doesn't make up for what I see as a missed oppurtunity, its still unfortunate that it wasn't made in a similar pose to the SS.

I didn't know the other companies were free to choose as they like, I assumed all the companies worked similar to Attakus. If Attakus had total freedom to choose characters and poses, it might too one-sided. Why would anybody ever buy a SS then ?

[Hellboy]

Just because Grievous has 4 arms doesn't mean he uses them all the time. He might look cooler with all 4 extended but I'm glad the Attakus version is posed the way it is. Its different enough from the SS version that I can justify having both statues in my collection.

[ump]

No company can choose characters but they can make a pose very freedom,(but excpet attakus).LFL send photos to attakus and they need to following the photos and can't change the pose,ITs LFL choose.not attakus.
