Grievous is here !!!

[Shangrilien]

He's waiting for me at home :buttrock: . My wife sent me a cellphone pic but I'll post high-def pics has soon as I come home.
I won this bad boy during an Attakus contest on their website. And if I got it, I guess it means first shipping wave should start very soon.

But right, now here's a teaser :p :D

[Haste05]

[Ghost]

I think that's the best April Fool's Joke I've had in a good while!

[Shangrilien]

you suck......I love you too, Haste05.

[SpenK]

I love you too, Haste05.
I want to go to Paris and Slap You........................ :mad:

[SpenK]

JUST KIDDING................. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: YOU GOT ME THERE :p

[ta2215]

Sooo, is this an Attakus Variant? The box changes when you move the angle or something???? :laugh: :laugh: You should sell the box on eBay then!!!

[Shangrilien]

A few things :
- I didn't use the official packaging pic as you can see below :

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c190/shangrilien/FAKEpic.jpg

- I do know I'm not a Photoshop magician (I don't have Photoshop). Just wanted to have fun.
- I'm not affiliated in any kind of way with Attakus. I didn't win any official contest. But I have an undeniable passion for their products.
- I have PMed Diego before posting it. If this April fool turns out to be illegal and/or harmful, I'll delete it immediately.

I may have overreacted but I was pissed.

Fingers crossed that your right Yakface.

Now that Diego from Attakus posts here, hopefully he'll be able to tell us if this is true.

[YakFace]

I haven't agreed to buy it yet. I think the price is too high - £303 including shipping.

[Diego]

Scrat is not available yet, waiting for approval.

[YakFace]

I could have had one next week, but I saved £53 on the one I pre-ordered, so I'll wait a bit longer. :p

[Ish]

[Shangrilien]

Morback went to the Attakus workshop to grab his ;).
Paris stores should be next within two weeks.

[ta2215]

OMG!!!! I knew it was going to be awesome but this is beyond that !!!! The lightsabers should be separate, can you imagine the size of the box if not, also it will be to fragile to ship!

I can't wait for mine to arrive!!!

Great job Attakus team!!!

[cap70]

Awesome. The cape work it's simply AMAZING. Attakus sculpts capes like no other company out there. Another heck of a job :thumbs2:

Ps: Does anyone knows the name of the fine lady that sculpted Grievous? I believe she did Vader 1 also, no? I need to send her flowers ! :buttrock:

[Hellboy]

Yeah the sculpted cape really raises this piece to another level. :thumbs2:

[Shangrilien]

Once again thank you for the pics !
But look how ugly the base is with the name on it when Grievous is next to his Dark Side fellow members. :(

[SpenK]

Were is Yours Mr Funny Man :p ..................................And actually you are right about the name even tought i kind of like it...... but anyway the piece is so amazing it doesn't make a Diference ;)

So ya think I'm funny ? Funny how ? ;)
I guess I'll change my mind once he'll be just in front of me. I'll keep you personaly informed, Spenk :D .

Maybe Mine Arrives First!!! And I will Keep YOU Informed!!!! :D ;)

[Ish]

i'm down with this. :buttrock:

[Grievous]

Looks good. I still don't like the name on the base. Sideshow's will definitely own this, though.

[PitViper]

Sideshow's will definitely own this, though.

I don't know about all that - I think it'll come down to personal preference as they are both good enough to warren respect (assuming the SS version looks anything like the protos). I may have to get them both after seeing these pics!!! :sly2:

[PitViper]

Oh, and I agree - the name on the base as a certain cheesy feel to it – I wish they left well enough alone. :thumbsdow

[Hellboy]

The name on the base is stupid. Its not like a Star Wars fan who can afford to drop $400+ on a statue is going to wonder "who is that?" :thumbsdow

[YakFace]

The name on the base is stupid. Its not like a Star Wars fan who can afford to drop $400+ on a statue is going to wonder "who is that?" :thumbsdow



Yeah, and it'll look out of place with the others as it will be the only one with the name on the base. :thumbsdow

[Darth Vader]

Say that to Lucasfilm licensing :D :rolleyes2

[Ish]

the name is not that big a deal to me, i'll be getting this and is gonna be sweet.

[Gruson]

It looks really nice. As others said, I love the cape too. Awesome.

Too bad I hate the character though.

[zimmermouse]

I bought mine here in Holland for a pretty good price at a fair yesterday, from 2 french people. So no shippingcosts for me ;)(#79)

Thanks Attakus for this damn nice looking statue! :buttrock:

[Sniper]

agreed,

[ta2215]

Hate is good! it leads you to the dark side! not that you are not there already though!!! :eplus2:

[YakFace]

agreed,



Really? I've never heard anyone say that before.

Jar-Jar Binks, perhaps...

[Weasel]

Wow! That looks fantastic. I love the look of the cape.
Could this become my first Attakus piece...? :peoples:

Thanks for the pictures.

[revilal]

I know its late, but that April Fool was class...

Anyhows, great pics. If only i cared for the character, I'd get it...

???Is this a real product???why it's look totally different from the Official pictures(?),specially on the eyes...it's look like a custom make hand painting....anybody can tell me what happened????

[nexus]

Hope the PF on order is worth it.

Member Darth Vader,are you really get the Greivous?or is this just a joke(?) :redface:

Are you on something? :confused2

[Darth Vader]

It is not mine, but that of a member of a French forum. ;)

[Exar Kun]

It looks really nice. As others said, I love the cape too. Awesome.

Too bad I hate the character though.


Same here. I expected so much from that character, but I was disapointed. I think he is more impressive in CW cartoon. Just find out a new thing missing in the PT: a very bad guy present in all the movie as Vader in the OT ;)

However, this statue is fabulously done. Great job Attakus!

[Buzzie]

What about Jar Jar :confused2



Grievous rocks! But dont like the character... so no buy for me.

That would be Darth Sidious who is a much more subtle bad guy.

[YakFace]

I just got mine today and I am VERY impressed with it.

[riderV3]

Revised, sorry, I missed out the photo pages :p , nice pics!
