Purdy cool. Nice shadow hint of Bib Forutna too. That's a lot of statues to fit under your case Cap...
:buttrock:

[cap70]

I saw this before, Drod did? Anyway, that's EXACTLY how I plan to display mine.
Now we need a better photoshopper to make G.Guard and Bib smaller! :)

And trust me, it WILL fit in my case! ;)

[elwood49]

Incredible!

[Exar Kun]

EXCELLENT! VERY NICE, but HUGE ALSO!!!! that needs a table

[Jamesways]

You gots me thinking of doing one too, get a big case, throw the Tusken, Jawa, and Sandtrooper in there. You could actually do a few scene/theme type displays. Jedi Luke- Vader II in front of the Emporer with the royal guards in the background...

but they will all pale in comparision to the Jabba palace. Awesome.

[Wooktroop]

you have to have 2 guards though plus C3p0 :eplus2:

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/twentieth_century_fox/return_of_the_jedi/_group_photos/anthony_daniels8.jpg

to bad their fett is hunting space birds and not standing straight like most of their other stiffs :laugh: or you could add him

[Gruson]

Yeah, I agree, it's a shame the Fett pose sucks.

I am also thinking about it.

I would not include Oola in my display.

I would have:

Han Carbonite
Jabba
Crumb
Leia
Bib

maybe a G. Guard and maybe even Jedi Luke in the front/side.

I like where cap has Solo better.

[cap70]

One guard will be enough!! Don't come up with bad ideas! :stick:
C3 it's alrady caged. ;)
And Fett will not be in MY scene (and better to be hunting space birds than making prostate exams) :eplus2: :laugh:

[cap70]

Yeah, I agree, it's a shame the Fett pose sucks.



Sucks? I like it very much, and he looks good placed one degree bellow Han. Looks like he's aiming for Han . Really cool.
Better than aiming for flying sorcers in the sky ;)

[Jamesways]

Yeah, I agree, it's a shame the Fett pose sucks.


HEY! :mad: I actually LIKE the Fett pose. It's a perfect sculpt of the movie promo pic (the ROTJ pic- painted with ESB colors :inquisiti ). I know I am the only one... ahem. Yeah. I'll be over here in the corner. :confused2 :laugh:

But your'e right Cap, better than the other provacative prostate exam/femenine looking pose coming out. Ooh, did I just say that?

edit: didn't see your post yet Cap. Ok, that's two of us.

[Gruson]

Sorry guys,

I always wanted to buy Fett but that pose just really bothered me! He looks good and love the Empire paint job but I just could never bring myself to buy him.

I wanted him in this pose:

http://www.tsr.org/StarWars/characters/bobafett/images/boba4.jpg

I hope Sideshow gives us that pose! ;)

[Jamesways]

Ain't no thing Gruson, just kiddin' around. I do still think he's the best purchase I've made so far though. Paint job is super impressive.

Now if SS did that, that would sell out in a day. It's really too bad about the GG one. But, I'll wait to see more pics for a more concrete judgment, but damn, of all the poses to pick?

[cap70]

James, sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;)

G, that pose is good, but imagine the amount of cloth/accessories etc Boba would come with if made by SS :laugh: But I would get it for sure. ;)
There's just soooooo many details on Boba Fett custome, very complex

Again, If the Attkaus is displayed correctly, then the shooting bird pose can become a nice plus. I have mine bellow Han and looks really cool.
Koto pose it's awesome, but too small of a statue for me.

[cap70]

Paint job is super impressive.


No kidding! It's the best paint job I ever seen in a statue, and I've seen many.

[Jamesways]

Koto pose it's awesome, but too small of a statue for me.

Yeah, the koto is nice, well detailed. Just looks a little bit too much like a plastic toy to me. But they did a great job with him.

I was bummed when I posted some pics of the attakus boba on another board, people posted that their marmit figure looked better (I don't think so), and for much much cheaper. But I can just imagine with the marmit's cloth suit and such what SS's would be like. :buttrock:

[RichardW]

But your'e right Cap, better than the other provacative prostate exam/femenine looking pose coming out.

To me, he looks like he's directing traffic. :confused2

[Gruson]

I would shell out $1000 for a nice Sideshow Boba Fett piece...kind of like Predator.

Here is a nice picture of Attakus Fett:

Cool pic, G, but I would be happy with a Boba PF 1/4 already, don't give ideas to SS to charge us more on a Maquette thing! :stick: :)

ps: Got Hellboy yesterday, awesome piece! Not bad for $160 shipped. ;) Did you have any problem pointing his armed hand up(or if you can do this, for that matter? It's a HUGE piece :eek:

[Gruson]

1/4 Fett maquette would rock!! :buttrock:

I know you would buy it cap! lol

As for Hellboy, for $160 that is a steal. It's a big piece and looks very nice and realistic.

I had no problems with his arm. Just force it up and it should stay.

:laugh:
That's the prolem, I would buy it! :)
But then it wouldn't look alright next to the current 1/4 SW pieces.
Would be cool, tough. ;)

Yup, loved the red guy! Awesome sculpture. The likeness it's unreal. Hope Vader comes with the same wire instructure on his cape.

[TURINS~BANE]

Crap...? :peoples: I think the attakus Boba has a excellent pose. I like the pose you posted though Grusan, I would probably take the Attakus Boba over the SS one. I just prefer statues, to this cloth figure stuff.

I do not know... I have seen the SS Luke...the head skulpd is verry good (the best I have ever seen), but still....

G, what do you think about your T-850 and the 1/4 SS ? Personally, I have a "toy" impression with 1/4 SS that I do not have with the Cinemaquette, but as I do not have my T-850 yet, I cannot compare now. And I am a little bit worried about it.

[Gianco]

Just won my Attakus Jabba.. :buttrock: :buttrock: .
Congrats Mate! Cheers! How much did you pay for it? If you don't mind of course.......... :)

[Gianco]

Hey Capo! Jamesways! Post some pics of your Boba! Pics, pics, pics, pics, pics! :D

[nexus]

I wish GG or someone would do this in 1/6, 1/8 scale or even 1/10 scale as a diorama (with good sculpts). The Attackus just seems to big.

[Collection King 13]

I saw this before, Drod did? Anyway, that's EXACTLY how I plan to display mine.
Now we need a better photoshopper to make G.Guard and Bib smaller! :)

And trust me, it WILL fit in my case! ;)
Drod did post that before... It looks really cool! :buttrock:

[TURINS~BANE]

Congrats Mate! Cheers! How much did you pay for it? If you don't mind of course.......... :)

Thanks pal.. :) 605 euros,- £407. I don't think that's a bad price really, I just need to get all the others now, probably the two main ones first well their all
main to the set-up. When are thee other Jabba posy, released.?

[cap70]

Congrats, Turins! :) That's a very good price. I paid $600 for mine, also very good. You gonna love him!
Let me know after you get yours. Now you need the other pieces. ;)
You have Han on carbonite already, right?

[Juggernaut]

How much does Jabba weigh?

Im talkin about the statue.

[sith lord utinni!]

Not sure on Jabba's weight but the box he comes in is nothing short of a b*tch to handle! The thing in huuuge. If anyone on here is interested in jabba or slave leia shoot me a pm.

[Gianco]

A Lot! :laugh:

Everything looks out of scale in that pic. Especially the hookah. I recommend a photoshop do-over.

Yup, the person that did it, did only to ilustrate his point. It's a PS bad composed image. Wait some time and I will show ya the real thing. ;)

Yeah I thought so. Yes I have the two Han Solo's. How deep is the Jabba Cap?, I don't think he's going on my shelf. :peoples:

[cap70]

Turins, I can check for ya, but give me until tomorrow. I ain't home right now and need to remove the top of the Jabba's case to check for this. Gruson also wants to know the Jabba's height/lenght, so I will do it all at once. ;)

[TURINS~BANE]

No problem Cap. :)

[JSA]

I've got a NIB Attakus Jabba the Hutt #057 OF 750 available if anybody is interested.

Here is the closed auction listing with pics, where a deadbeat bidder backed out on me:

Very Nice.

[Juggernaut]

Jabba looks good....Well you know what I mean.

But I would have liked the Base to be more like the bench he has in the movie.

I dont have the Jabba yet. He's rather expensive . Maybe if Kotobukiya made a Jabba it would be less expensive to make one in Vinyl.

[Gianco]

Thanks James! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET Piece! Best Boba statue ever made! IMO Attakus Kicks A$$! :buttrock:

[Jamesways]

Thanks James! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET Piece! Best Boba statue ever made! IMO Attakus Kicks A$$! :buttrock:

I am in complete total utter agreement. Best... Fett... ever!
I am thinking of getting that pic he's based on blown up a bit and put it behind him in my display. Spitting image. That one and the jawa and tusken pics from the original hasbro cards. They would look great behind the statues. Basis pics to 3d sculpt. Very cool.

[Jamesways]

three boba's on ebay right now. 2 Japanese editions- $800 bucks ea. A regular one going for 560 or so too.

[RichardW]

Maybe it's just me, but should the Japanese editions be selling for the same amount of money as the original Attakus releases? To me these seem like a second run and should not be valued the same. I know it's all based on supply and demand, but still. :inquisiti

[Jamesways]

Yeah, I see your point Richard. I don't know, maybe they look at it like this; could be more valuble since only 200 were produced. Dunno.

[cap70]

LOL, that's Moriaki, the guy that me and P1X got our stormtroopers from. This guy must be the biggest flipper in history. Sometimes I think he bought the whole Japanese edition. His supply never ends!

ps: Nice pics James. :)
ps2: I still need to take the Jabba measurements for ya, Turins. I didn't forget. :) It's cause I have been pretty busy lately and not stoping home too much.

[TURINS~BANE]

That's O.K., I didn't think you had forgot anyway.

[P1X4R]

yeah, that dude is the japanese attakus flipper! very fast shipping!

[Gruson]

I wish I was in Japan when they went for sale. ;)

[cap70]

yeah, that dude is the japanese attakus flipper! very fast shipping!

LOL, so true! And he double charges for low numbers, too! :laugh:
He must own a store or something. He sold WAAAY many pieces on ebay already. Maybe he is recasting them! :laugh:

[cap70]

I wish I was in Japan when they went for sale. ;)

Hahahaha, I don't! ;)
That guy is your "twin flipper Japanese soul" ! :laugh:

[DannieDarKo]

I am thinking of getting them all as well. Its going to be a big penny, but here is a side by side pic of Boba and Jabba from my personal collection. I do like the Boba pose but I have to agree with Gruson here. As far as the Jabba gang scene, it doesn't mesh well. :peoples:

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8008/normalimg01105ap.jpg

[cap70]

Yup, I think Boba doesn't mix well in the Jabba scene either, or was even meant to be there like the other characters.

[TURINS~BANE]

Danny, is that the Rancor statue you have in the background?

Agreed the Boba wasn't meant to be part of the Jabba gang. Wrong pose..

[cap70]

That's O.K., I didn't think you had forgot anyway.

Ok, I measured it from outside the case, using my "eye'o'meter." lol But placed meter on side and top of the case, so it's pretty "accurate". He is about 25-26" large, 16-17" front to back and 16" high. Does it helps? :)

[DannieDarKo]

Turins Bane, no, that is the Cave Troll statue from the LOTR Sideshow Weta line. :)

[TURINS~BANE]

Thanks cap, that's very helpful. :)

I see now Danny, :rolleyes2 it was facing the other way.

[cap70]

and you're welcome, Turins.

[P1X4R]

dang, now he's got a Vader 1 for $2K BIN!

LOL, that's Moriaki, the guy that me and P1X got our stormtroopers from. This guy must be the biggest flipper in history. Sometimes I think he bought the whole Japanese edition. His supply never ends!

[Zurbaran1]

Maybe it's just me, but should the Japanese editions be selling for the same amount of money as the original Attakus releases? To me these seem like a second run and should not be valued the same. I know it's all based on supply and demand, but still. :inquisiti

I have to agree with you. If I had one of the original releases I think I would be slightly miffed at Attakus for milking it for an extra couple of hundred pieces. Not that it seems to have had an adverse effect on the secondary market prices.

[RichardW]

dang, now he's got a Vader 1 for $2K BIN!

He's way to price-happy for low numbers, too. :rolleyes2

[cap70]

dang, now he's got a Vader 1 for $2K BIN!

No kidding! I'm telling ya, this guy is the King Flipper! He probably bought the whole Japanese edition to flip on ebay. And like I said, he charges MUCH more for low numbers that he probably bought for the same price of the others. 2K for a Vader? No way he will sell for this price. And did you try emailing him and try to bargain? :laugh: I did in the past, tough job! :laugh:

[Jamesways]

two more japaneses boba's up for BIN of 700 USD. Good deal if anyone wants him.

If you want something never give it up.

[3clipZ]

Hi guys,

I am also collecting the Jabba palace scene but i have one question about the chain between Jabba and leia. I allready got the Jabba statue (no chain) but when I asked some Ebay Sellers if the chain came with the Leia statue they replied with a no.

Was the chain missing with my Jabba statue or what? :confused: :confused:

[P1X4R]

i got the chain with my jabba statue. it came in a plastic bag inside the box.

[P1X4R]

If you want something never give it up.

agreed! failures are temporary pauses before success. i heard that somewhere. :) it's true! heck, it didn't stop Gandalf! :buttrock:


PIPPIN: What, Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores ... And beyond . . . A far green country under a swift sunrise.

[3clipZ]

Reviving an old thread. I found the pic from the visual dictionary online that they used for the boba sculpt. I went in and cleaned it up and got out all the text and extra stuff around it too. Odd that they changed it from the ROTJ to the ESB version though...
Anyway, someone in one of these threads was asking to see it, so here you go.

Custom case, I guess. Because, for now, I haven't found any where Jabba fits (talking about depth).

There is just a red x, no pics is showing up.

[Jamesways]

Sorry guys, I know you are referring to the preview pic in the first post. The Attakus guys pulled it off their site long ago, and I don't have it saved anymore.

I ordered it from casesforcollectibles.com. They aren't from Miami. I always get my custom cases from them. Really good quality, fast shipping and not so expensive compared to other places. They pack very well, too. Never got a broken case from them.

[metalsquid]

is the GG 3P0 in scale with the Attakus statues? i just like the gold chrome on that. was wondering if it would fit in that diorama? or would the chrome make it stand out too much even if it was in scale? btw, nice setup cap70! very jealous :)

Great display indeed, Cap ! Will you order a bigger one when Bib, Oola and GG are out or you'll just put them elsewhere ?

Btw, stop sending us teasing pics of your collection (I think I can see Aja and Trinity on the left and AT-AT on the right). We want wide shots ! We deserve wide shots ! And we can handle wide shots ! Please, per favore, bitte, s'il-te-plait, tevreden, por favor :D ?

[cap70]

Thanks, Shan! Lot of things changed and will change since more and more statues are arriving for me, it's like a statue rain lately! :laugh:
Bib, Oola and GG are mine already! :)
I will "try" to fit them in my case(will remove R2), but if they don't fit, I will buy a bigger case. These pieces needs to be together, to complete the Jabba scene.

cheers,
C.
