It will be smaller than the SS (Also On Order) But I really like the detail and Pose of The piece

It looks like this one will also be a nice piece but I'm going with the SS Exclusive.

I'm pretty sure this will be awesome, but I will pass. No SW characters from the last Trilogy for me anymore.

Just the SS one for me, I still don't think the Attakus one is in the same league.

sideshow can never come close to the amount and quality attakus has produced.

If I can get it for a decent price maybe, just because I like the scale of the Attakus pieces. BUT I'll probably wait for a GG version and save myself $200.

I have yet to see or own anything SS that has the consistent quality of Attakus. To each his own though.

However, having owned most of the SSW LOTR collection I am speaking from an informed point of view.

Most likely I'll pass since I have the SS version on order. It does look nice though just not as striking as the SS version.

You got it backwards! :P I'm with Zurb, I like it but I'm going with the SS Ex.

You really do smoke crack. Attakus does some great work but if you don't think Sideshow just as good well then go smoke another bowl.

You guys sound like a bunch of girls arguying which N'Sync member you like most! :eplus2:
Both companies makes awesome stuff. In the ends all depends on what you collect and what's worth for you. Attakus makes top notch stuff, so does SS. But I agree about Attakus consistency beeing better (principally paint jobs)after owning MANY Attakus and Sideshow pieces.

I like both co's...

+1 for Attakus consisitency...and SS's lack thereof..(varying makeup schemes on their Luke)
but...I think Attakus' lack of "depth/detail" on some of their faces leaves something to be desired...I'm not talking about their "licensing likeness" issues...if there is an issue...I'm talking about some of their faces lacking shading/detail...
So Having said that....
+1 SS's paint scheme on their Grievous is simply amazing...textured armor plairing et al.
+1 SS's scale "lends" itself better to their Grievous...his cape? The best use of actual fabric in their entire line...

I gotta go w/ SS on this Grievous If I was going the either/or route......it's a perfect mating of co. and character...

But If I had the chance I'd probably get both, and display them far away from 1 another...

The SS Grievous is simply awe inspiring scale and all.....

I'm pretty sure Attakus Grievous will be very detailed as well with a top notch painting job. IMO Attakus are the best on masked characters/SW creatures, those have an amazing level of details and superb paint jobs.... but just ok on SW human characters(even tough Han Solo and Leia looks pretty good to me, I have both). Luke it's terrible, looks like a 10 year old kid(even tough the details on his cloth are awesome). SS it's better with humans, but then the scale it's bigger, which helps. I think SS did a phenomenal job with Obi-Wan, Luke and Hans likeness. Better than any other company did.

I knew he liked. I heard he is now a member? I remember seeing a picture of Backstreet Boys and I could swear Zurby was in there..but I may be wrong...

I won't be picking up either one, but I do think both of these are going to be phenominal pieces of work. The SS one looks amazing with the armor weathering/texture. And I am sure the paint aps on the attakus will be fantastic. I do prefer sculpted capes as opposed to fabric, and love the look of it.

Expensive, but great time to be a GG fan.

I think they both look great but the edge goes to the SS one because of the Pose....

I agree the pose on the SS is just a little bit better.

yeah, I love the four arms spread. I wonder if can take the take out the sabers to adjust em, you know, flip it and make one of the top ones point down.

I agree. To me, the SS GG pose is what makes it the definitive GG. Both would be a great addition to any high-end collection though. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to go with cape or with out on the SS GG.

Don't sweat it. Leave it on for a while then take it off for a while. Alternate. It should be easy enough. I'm going with the cape on, at least initially. Now if SS is watching and will only surprise us with some tiny lighsabers for the inside of the cape, that would be awesome!!!

To tell you the truth, it irked me and a friend that he had those pockets in his cape and not have the lightsabers hanging by their hilts off his belt like in the Clone Wars series. Either way some mini sabers would rock.

I don't ever see myself taking GG out of its acrylic case once I put it in; but, it's nice to have that option. :)

I just remebered, though, that I promised the exclusive to a friend (for helping me out countless times) if he wanted it. Either way, I'll be happy with either one. :)

They both look great. I have the SS exclusive on order. I might order this one as soon as he goes up somewhere.

im down with both. the SS is HUGE, and incredible in everyway. but cmon, attakus is the premier statue maker. they are really 2 totally different classes to me, and id have one of each if you could afford it. you cant go wrong with either one really.
