Attakus' ambitious new Star Wars diorama line, called the Star Wars Metal Collection, will include two enormous dioramas to launch the series: the Death Star and Dagobah. The dioramas, scaled to about the size of Hasbro's 3 3/4" figure line, will be constructed of resin and include highly-detailed painted pewter figures to display with them. The Death Star set is scheduled for release sometime this year, with Dagobah to follow soon after.

Because of their size, each diorama will be offered in two parts to be sold separately. The Death Star set from A New Hope, for example, will be comprised of a sectioned hull of the Millennium Falcon as one unit, and the hangar/corridor from the Death Star interior as the other. The Falcon section, which represents about one-third of the scaled ship's actual width, is opened on one side to allow viewing of the detailed interior. Additionally, each of the two sections will be offered with an exclusive figure -- either Han in stormtrooper disguise or Luke in trooper disguise. Additional figures to be sold separately will include Darth Vader, Han (regular costume), Luke (regular costume), Leia, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, four different stormtroopers, and a mouse droid.
The Dagobah set from The Empire Strikes Back will include Yoda's hut with several trees, and a partially submerged X-wing fighter sold separately. Exclusive figures included with the two sections are Luke sitting and Luke in a handstand. Related figures sold separately include Luke with Yoda in backpack, Luke in X-wing pilot uniform, Luke in Bespin fatigues, Yoda, Vader with removable head, spirit of Obi-Wan, and two-legged R2-D2.

Yeah ...for about 70 euro's a piece. :peoples:

[Ish]

ouch!!

[fat hobbitss]

Around $90 per 4" figure. A bit too expensive for my tastes. The dios are very interesting pieces, but i see a marketing problem (in my opinion). Diorama set is too big for the japanese and european market, figures are too small for the american one.

Best of lucks for Attakus and congrats on the design concept!

At first I was tempted to start saving for the deathstar diorama. When i found out that you had to buy about 11 figures seperatly at 70 euro's a piece (i believe Vader/Obiwan are 90 euro's) i didn't think twice about it again.......i'll pass! :)

[Pitbull]

Are they limited edition? If yes, what amount?

On the attakus site it says that Obiwan and C-3PO are limited at 2500 pieces.

The rest is unknown so far....

Saw these pictures already. Looks very cool, but not $100 cool.

[Grievous]

The pricing on these is ridiculous. I don't know anyone on any forum who plans on collecting this line.

[P1X4R]

too pricey for such a small item. i'd rather save my $$$ for stormtrooper armor.

Too pricey for what it is and we must have the room for such pieces.

I think these troopers look fantastic, but I gots to say one thing. Seeing these makes me wonder why they don't use the stunt version of the helmets for at least one of their big statues. The regular stormtrooper has the hero version, with the bubble lenses, and the new sandtrooper does as well. Why not use the stunt version for the sandtrooper? Then there's one of each, and actually, most of the sandtroopers seen in the flick had the stunt version anyway. I know it seems nitpicky, but I think they look better.

GG's trooper's helmets look super good, I would just love to see that on a big ol' Attakus piece.

End of rant.
