Look at the opposite side of the Taun Taun

[theuselessfew]

Ding, DING!

[Zurbaran1]

Leia looks fantastic. The likeness is exceptional.

[Emperor'sGuard]

Cool! wonder how long till it will be up for order?

[Wooktroop]

and this guy didnt take a close up? some people (clueless)

[Bullseye]

Look at the opposite side of the Taun Taun

Oh yes. Great catch A. That looks very interesting. :buttrock:

[SirConor]

Wooot

[cyberpunk12]

It looks like they only took closeups of things Gentle Giant already has up for order, with the sort-of exception of the weathered 3PO... which I assume will become the newest variant. Sigh.

But I'm glad to see Boba is on the way! I like the pose. :thumbs2:

Why DOES Gentle Giant tease us so? I really hate their policy concerning no pics of prototypes. I guess they feel that if you can't come to San Diego, no preview for you! Good thing CK13 is there. We know how much respect he has for the No Photo signs :D

[Bullseye]

Can't wait for better pics.

[nexus]

Not bad. Leia looks good. I also like the C3P0, even though it is a variant.

[The General]

I want a closer pic. Looks like the bust with legs. I was hoping for something different. I don't like the bust with legs bit like RB's Dr. Doom. But a Fett statue is a Fett statue so I'm pumped. :buttrock:

[Bullseye]

This is looking good.

Hot damn!

Why do a varient of a bust they made like 8,000 of?????

to deflate the inflated market value of the bust? :laugh:

[boondocksaint]

yesssssss! love the pose

[theuselessfew]

Looks like the bust with legs.

Hey, why mess with perfection? :)

[The General]

Hey, why mess with perfection? :)
Very true. Maybe the best bust ever. But still I would have liked something completely different. I can't wait to get allocated on that piece. It's going to be awesome.

[cyberpunk12]

I can't wait to get allocated on that piece. :laugh: Fear will keep the local systems in line... Fear of allocation.

The original bust has a print run that comes in at a whopping 7500 and still commands $250 on the secondary market over a year after its release... how many do you think they should go with on the statue?

Vader was 7500 and it was severely allocated from Diamond. They needed at least 10,000+ for Vader and they're probably going to need more for Fett. Maybe 12,000.

[Bullseye]

I want this bad. This and Maul. Only interested in the dark side and little Yoda:)

[cyberpunk12]

Vader was 7500 and it was severely allocated from Diamond. They needed at least 10,000+ for Vader and they're probably going to need more for Fett. Maybe 12,000.What's the largest print run you guys know of for a statue? I'm thinking like you are General... I'll bet Boba Fett will come in pretty high.

[bat_collector]

ditto, minus the yoda

[Ghost]

Wow I love it! The pose to me is way better then Attakus, and already from afar it looks sweet. We do need someone like Erick or Charles to get on this piece asap! Bust with legs, eh well I don't have the bust, (still would get both if I could) but I love it!

Chuck said he'd pop over on friday to take pics.

[Ghost]

Sweet. Now to see the Maul statue!

[DarthBane]

Hey Im not sure but that boba statue looks exactly like the Japanese vinyl statue to me. What do you think

[Tattoo-X]

May have to get the Boba.
At least my wife likes him.
Makes it easier to sneek him in. :laugh:

I got $300 for mine last month on eBay...Hated to part with it, but it is a bust after all, and if I have a statue (or vinyl), I don't need the bust...

[cap70]

With so many awesome things from SS coming in, I'm afraid GG will not see too much of my money. Will get Luke and maybe Yoda. Don't like Maul and need to see more Boba pictures to see if it's worth (and principally if it's the same scale of my GG Vader)

[Bullseye]

This is one line i'll pick up before SS simply better value for money and easier to display. I have Vader. I'm only interested in Maul, Boba Fett, and maybe Yoda.

[cap70]

Yes, may be better to display, but too small for my tastes and Sideshow SW statues are much better looking than anything GG ever produced, IMO. Anything smaller than 1/5 scale sucks for me right now. It needs to be big! :buttrock: :D

[Bullseye]

You need to buy a set of binoculars and look through them the wrong way.:)

[cap70]

[Gianco]

... It needs to be big! :buttrock: :D

Hey Cap, size doesn't matter! Does it? :laugh:

[Gianco]

Azog thanks for the pics! :thumbs2: Does anybody have an idea of the releasing dates for Boba, Maul and Luke/Taun-Taun?

[Ia Zista Zass]

I dunno...it'd have to be a real POS to not buy a Boba statue...any Boba statue...

GG's other statues are very nice, I've said it before, not as nice as ATK or SS's, but at half the pruiice they are awesome...

Now a Lando Bust, Boba and Maul statues, and a Luke on TaunTaun to go w/ the Dewback, and Speederbike, not to mention the 1:1 Yoda....? And all of the other Clone War Maquettes which are also very nice in person...1/6 is good for me 1/4 is awesome, but also huge...1/6 is great for variety and it affords me the oppurtunity to grab 1 or 2 in between ATK and SS's "Super" Pieces.

I've been annoyed by GGs whole BustUp fetish as of late but apparently they've been working hard for some of us at the same time...

IZZ

[Gianco]

If somebody have pics please PM me! :)

[Sniper]

bobba , jango and storm troopers must be made!!!!

[Gianco]

Boba is there! Along with Maul, Luke/Taun Taun and Chromed Vader with lighting light saber. Busts at GG stand are Lando, Leia on Boussh, Weathered C-3PO....... Can't wait! :buttrock:

[cap70]

Hey Cap, size doesn't matter! Does it? :laugh:

But of course it matters! :laugh: :buttrock:
No more thiny, 1/6 scale figures in my collection. I simply got tired to collect busts and smaller statues(the smaller SS LOTR pieces are going too). I'm selling them all(will keep some I REALLY like, of course) for some lucky buyers.

[boondocksaint]

cap you have a scout bust?

[Tony Coca]

Boba Is a must have.

[thx217]

Can't wait for the offcial pics of Boba......uuhh boba! wu da so heeep.

[Gianco]

Can I be a lucky buyer? :laugh:

[Gianco]

Boba Is a must have.

Agree with Master Tony! :laugh:

[sith lord utinni!]

Does anyone else think that boba's left leg is posed akwardly? I think it looks kinda feminine like in his stance. I need to see closer pics though to really get a good look at it.

[Tony Coca]

Agree with Master Tony! :laugh:

Hey I like the sound of that.

[DarkRaven]

boba is a must have for me. any clue yet to price on these??

[stormshadow007]

Nice...I'll take 2 please

[jhownz]

I'll be getting Boba for sure, along with Maul and Luke on TaunTaun. Any idea what the left hand is doing (or holding)? He almost seems like taunting anybody to 'come get some'...

[Skulpturen]

Leia looks fantastic. The likeness is exceptional.

I knew Leia will look awesome :buttrock:

[Ghost]

Mostly like these will all be $200, of course Luke on Tauntaun would be more. But you can always get them cheaper. I got my Vader for $150.

[Hellboy]

Man I'm dying to see a decent picture of this statue.

[darthrobbler]

Yep, sign me up. I love the bust and it does look like a bust with legs, but hell it is still a Boba staute. I owned the attakus Boba and hated the pose, (hated it!!!) so I flipped it. What was he doing trying to recoil from blaster or was he hunting ducks in the sky. This staute will be an awesome part of the collection. Anybody else feel overloaded with all hte variants and exclusives lately?

[Wooktroop]

Man I'm dying to see a decent picture of this statue.

for real, i wonder what the hold up is? slackers with no balls :laugh:

[Gianco]

Pics, I need Pics! Damn! :banghead:

[carrillj]

Here is the one that #3 posted earlier.

[Ia Zista Zass]

Pics, I need Pics! Damn! :banghead:

Do you have any? I have a copy of one w/ Boba small in the background, but it might give you some idea...what's your email?

oopps...forget it see above. :buttrock:

Seeing it large...
1. It's mine!
2. I think it blows away Attakus'...sorry guys, call me crazy, but that thing is awesome, small scale or not...

[Hellboy]

Hmmm . . . hard to tell by this pic but his left arm seems a little off, where is the flamethrower?

Thanks for posting a better pic though. :)

[carrillj]

Yeah, this one looks awesome. I'll be getting it!

[Wooktroop]

now that is a picture (thanks), great pose
paint looks like ass, but i know this is just a prototype
must have right there (now we just need the other FS hunters)

[carrillj]

Hmmm . . . hard to tell by this pic but his left arm seems a little off, where is the flamethrower?

Thanks for posting a better pic though. :)

I agree, the left arm could have been done better. It really looks like he is about to give Han Solo a rectal exam.

Still, considering what Gentle Giant has shown us so far, this is a huge leap forward. Hopefully they will finally get the ball rolling and start putting out more quality non chrome statues.

[Tommy Allison]

I think the paint is off because of the lighting, and the fact that whoever took the pic used their flash on it. Things always turn out weird during indoor photography if you leave the flash on.

[Wooktroop]

yeah it looks sloppy around the edges

[darthrobbler]

Probably a prototype and will look better after it is tweaked a bit. The staute looks AWESOME!!! and yes it does kick attakus's rear. sorry, had the whole line and did not like the fett at all. Truly a step forward for GG. Hopefully we'll see more rockin' statues this year.

[candyrocket786]

He will be mine!!! :buttrock:

[SWRN]

I think this looks really nice but I am not sure about the pose. That left arm looks weird the way its out there. It would be cooler if he would be holding his gun with both hands or maybe firing a wrist rocket with his left.
Anyways it looks sweet and Ill be picking this one up. Between GG, SS, and MR my bank account is gonna be taking quite a hit.
Oh, I still think Attakus has the best boba so far. But that may change once the final version of this one comes out.

[Sniper]

Nice...I'll take 2 please
two indeed!!!!!

[Gianco]

Thanks Carrillj! That babe will come home.....with his twin brother! I'll take two! :buttrock:

[Tony Coca]

Whats the damage to the wallet for this one.

[cap70]

He looks chubby, and the pose suxs! Attakus looks better for sure, no doubt. And SS will probably look better too.

[Gianco]

Ding, ding, ding! That's the one I'm waiting for Cap, Sideshow's Boba!

[sith lord utinni!]

I agree with cap. I think he looks too chubby and his pose is akward, what the hell is he doing with his left hand????

[Gruson]

I am not even going to give GG a second thought anymore. Their pieces always lack the quality I look for.

I personally think some of the Koto pieces are better.

GG has gone downhill ....some of their first busts were great (like boba).

[thx217]

I agree with cap. I think he looks too chubby and his pose is akward, what the hell is he doing with his left hand????

Asking for his payment? :inquisiti

Relax, it just a proto. I believe we'll have a great Boba. :buttrock:

[Cotasnoova]

This is the guy who we saw track the Millenium Falcon...and call Darth Vader to come do all the work.

Then he died on Tatooine.

I am in the small Boba-Fett is sorta lame group...I might be the only member :buttrock:

[Bullseye]

All i can say is that SS Vader had better improve or he's gone. Luke Sucks big time. Solo's not too bad but i'd never buy a figure of Solo. Grevious is the only one that has lived up to expectations. There was no looking to get him adjusted etc. I'm still not convinced about SS Vader.

[cap70]

I never liked SS's Luke too much until I saw it in front of me. I don't think there's any better Luke(or close to) than SideShow's right now. It looks very life like, and the likeness it's awesome. I tend to prefer a full sculpted statue over a sculpted/cloth mixed one, but the mix it's working beautifully on this piece. And in many other SS 1/4 sculptures. I'm defenetly keeping it.
Gentle Giant's Luke busts have a really bad likeness. I fail to see any trace of Mark H. in there(other than the hair). But for each it's own.
Attakus Luke statue have a HORRIBLE likeness. The body and sculpture details are amazing, but he looks like a 10 year old kid dressed for Halloween . And I'm a big Attakus fan in general. I bought this statue and ebay'd it the same day I received.
About Han Solo, I like a lot the Attakus one and the likeness is very good. Gentle Giant Han's busts are just ok, but then again, those are busts. I never saw Sideshow's Han Solo in person, but from the pictures, the likeness looks to be spot on. I'm looking forward to this one. Yes, may not apeal too much to somebody that isn't a Hans fan. Not my case, tough, since he is one of my faves. Same goes to Luke.
About SS Vader, you know I'm also not that impressed with it, tough I have to admit that the last SDCC pictures I saw from him looked much better than before. I hope it looks good when I receive it, or I will flip it! :eplus2:

[Bullseye]

The only states from SW i'm interested in have masks:) No interest in statues of film stars as such. Prefer the bad guys.

[The General]

Statue looks great but they screwed up that arm pose. It does look like he wants to give a prostate exam.

The Vader I think will be very impressive when it does come out(and matching up with obi-wan is great!). The Han I am holding my opinion until I see it. The luke really changed my mind on how cool SS does stuff. I saw the prototypes at Celeration 3 and wasn't impressed, but then I got it and wow...opinion changed. As for the Attakus stautes had the whole line and was not impressed at all. I sold all of them except the Han carbonite. I cannot wait to see a SS version of Boba Fett.

Do I know you? :rolleyes2
:peoples:

Anyway, I will take this as a complement. So difficult to agree with people these days. People are very passionate about their collectibles. Thank God I don't collect lines, only characters. If looks good, I buy it.
By the way, would love to see a picture of your Attakus full line. I love to see whole collection pictures, and as far as I know the only person that own the whole line is Daredevil(from France). I have many Attakus pieces and love them, principally the Vaders and Jabba "enviroment".

[Darth Bob]

Well, as some of you guys already said :

The left arm looks strange AND the paintjob on some parts (helmet and green cloth) looks sloppy. But as long as this is only a prototype, there's still hope they improve those flaws for the final version.

IMO the best Boba Fett so far is the Koto one....great paint apps, great sculpt and I even like him better than the ATTAKUS version because I think the pose is better.

I got 2 GG statues so far (Chewie and Vader) and I think they're good but not perfect (Chewies paintjob is just average compared to other statues and Vader's helmet looks a bit deformed) and I'd rank GG somewhere near Kotobukiya (when it comes to SW-statues). So far I haven't seen a Sideshow statue with my own eyes but I just don't like the idea of mixing resin with real cloth. Wich is why I passed on the SS-Vader after seeing the first prototype shots.

So, ATTAKUS is (and will probably stay in the upcoming months and years) my personal favourite manufacturer of SW-statues. The 2 Vaders and the Darth Maul are just perfect......flawless masterpieces.

[Tommy Allison]

Here's what I learned about the Star Wars Universe after putting things into perspective after recovering from Episode III.

Anyone who is Imperial, or does business with the Empire, is plain, flat out, incompetent, or... Got there by nepotism.

Jedi are single taskers, Sithlords can Multi-task, use a lightsaber, throw force lightning, or objects at the same time. Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, Darth Tyrannus, All multi-taskers. What do we know about doing many things at once??? The job never gets done. There it is, for you, pure and simple. A lack of focus will be your undoing.

They have faster than light travel, but apparently don't have Sonograms.

Obi-Wan was the most powerful Jedi Ever, because he spanked Anakin's ass with minimal fuss.

Anakin was a whiny control freak. The Emperor, Also a whiny control freak.

Because of one gungan's idiocy, and one Jedi's idiocy, the whole galaxy came under the oppression of the Empire.

Episodes II and III are the only times you'll see Stormtroopers hit anything on purpose.

The First Trilogy, was a story about a guy who didn't want to join the Family Business.

The Second Prequel Trilogy, was the story of a whiny kid, who grows up to be a whining prick, has a messy breakup, is alienated by his friends, and never gets to see his kids again, and it costs him an arm and a leg.

THAT, is what I learned from the Star Wars Universe. Idiocy, Mediocrity, Those are the ways of the Darkside.

DB- If it's not too much trouble would you mind posting close-ups of the face of your Maul...I've seen it and pondered buying 1, I have no maul pieces outside of the Koto...but I got hung up on the face; it looks a little off in the smaller pics, I've seen. I've too much experience "falling in love" w/ pieces in person, to rely on far away shots on the net though.

Thanks if you're able to get them up...

IZZ

oh and TA.... :laugh:

[Darth Bob]

Here you go......just took this pic cause I had no close up shot of the face. I'm sorry for having to upload such a large pic but the place I'm uploading my photos compresses the files a lot, so it had to be this big in order to show all the details. Hope I could help you..... :)

here are a couple of mine:

There's ONE, one thing that "I" don't like in Attakus Maul. I will give a gift for the person that mentions it first. ;) (remember, is not what you don't like, it's what I don't like)

[Zurbaran1]

That little opening in his tunic?

[Darth Bob]

Thanks, cap. :)


Maybe...........you don't like the fact, that it's so perfect.....which causes you to fall over things or run against things in that room because you can't take your eyes off it everytime you come near it.

saber isnt out?

Nope, Bond.

I love it. Very good quality...probably why it sells for over $700 on ebay now.

I agree with that. If you have a great Boba bust (no doubt is the best bust done by GG till now) you should have a great statue too. Keep in mind this is a prototype not yet approved.

I love my Boba bust, is one of my favorite pieces. :buttrock:

[Gianco]

Cap, I'm sure the only thing you don't like is that you don't have two of them! :laugh:

Then he died on Tatooine.

I am in the small Boba-Fett is sorta lame group...I might be the only member :buttrock:

Actually, you're not the only member. For such a supposed bada$$, there was no glory in the way he died. I mean come on, he accidentally gets dumped into the Sarlacc pit by a half-blind Han? Now, I know that in fan fiction he miraculously survives being dumped into the pit, but I'm just talking about the movies, okay? (And I think daddy Jango could have died with a bit more of a struggle as well, but you can't have everything).

Notwithstanding all the crap I just wrote, this is kind of a cool sculpt, and I'd consider getting it.

[Wooktroop]

boba fett never died, newbies. :laugh:

George Lucas tangled with the idea of letting Boba Fett escape in Return of the Jedi.

When watching Return of the Jedi on DVD with the commentary, Lucas mentions that he was contemplating shooting Boba Fett crawling out of the Sarlacc. I really wish he filmed that shot after changing the voice. He needs to make it up some way.

Marvel Comics continued where George Lucas left off when they were comissioned to do a series of Star Wars comics in the mid-1980s. Issue #81 featured an idea that Jawas, while scavenging the wreckage of Jabba's ship, found Boba Fett in the sand, outside the Sarlacc pit.

In 1996, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, a book licensed by Lucasfilm, followed a storyline of Boba Fett escaping from the Sarlacc. Mark Austin's novel, The Accursed One Lives, also chronicles a concept for Boba Fett post-Jedi, given the scenario Lucas left us all with in 1983, that Boba Fett fell.

In 1996, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, a book licensed by Lucasfilm, followed a storyline of Boba Fett escaping from the Sarlacc. Mark Austin's novel, The Accursed One Lives, also chronicles a concept for Boba Fett post-Jedi, given the scenario Lucas left us all with in 1983, that Boba Fett fell.

Well said! :)

boba fett never died, newbies. :laugh:

George Lucas tangled with the idea of letting Boba Fett escape in Return of the Jedi.

Wook, in that same ROTJ commentary, Lucas also says that if he knew ahead of time that Boba would have been so popular, he would have made his "death" more popular. He also mentions the same thing in a Rolling Stone article that came out earlier this year. (Damn, I wish I still had that article).

But if you look at my post, I specifically mention that I was talking about the movies only. I know that Boba continues to live in Lucasfilm-licensed books. But bear in mind, this is the same company that also licenses Star Wars bed sheets and Darth Vader lawn sprinklers. (http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=1890)

Yes Wooktroop, but that is all expanded universe material. If it didn't happen in the film than its not part of the official continuity and amounts to little more than a fan boy's wet dream.

hahaha hes alive damnit!!! :laugh:

:laugh: Hey look Billy Dee is in that. :p

Hey Wook, that's pretty funny. Someone should start a thread on adult movies that are named after non-adult flicks, such as the aforementioned "Sex Wars." And in that photo, it looks like Scott Bakula in the background.

I just took a close look at the credits. Pretty funny. :laugh:

I think he looks pretty good. I'm in Alaska now, so I haven't been able to keep up with the SDCC updates much.

[jhownz]

nice, Darth Bob, and welcome to the forum! :)

There's ONE, one thing that "I" don't like in Attakus Maul. I will give a gift for the person that mentions it first. ;) (remember, is not what you don't like, it's what I don't like)

Spike in his head not sharp enough?

[spider-man]

I just got back from SDCC and I'm surprised that these pics are even up as no one was supposed to even take them and there was always an employee from GG standing around them. I will be getting all of the new realeses especially the luke on the taun taun as it even has a snow base they all looked amazing.....oh! and I also got a sandtrooper on dewback from them for retail.

With someone who has less than 60 sales and/or buys combined . . . . . makes you kinda wonder if you should take a chance.

[Bullseye]

I'll be buying these through CS when they are available.

[qcjoe]

There goes more of my money out the window.

[darthrobbler]

They have been listed again on ebay, and easily found in a search.

The Maul LOOKS AWESOME!!!! (big maul fan)
The picture with the Boba listing is really good also, must have been taken when GG had their backs turned. What's with the "no photos" rule, if I had a product that cool I would slap photos of it everywhere.
