They are just so amazingly close to the source material on some of them.

That's one of the reasons I started to collect Attakus(besides the awesome quality, of course).
They had this whole SW Universe ready in front of me, with many characters, like no other company have, just waiting for my $$$. And much, much more still to come!

As I said before, I LOVE how they use the same publicity photos that are on the old Kenner figure cards. I wonder why they made a mirror image of the Tusken though? Perhaps it was originally shot this way, and then Kenner flipped it for the card? I'm curious as to which is the original shot.

Maybe cause it looked good to them?
No complains here, looks awesome to me. Another must have if you like Tusken.
Keep bringing more OT characters! Now I want a Rancor!

You're right, Kenner flipped it for the card. There are some original autographed prints (with COA) out there and it's like the statue.

Cap- could you imagine a Rancor by them? It'd be 35 pounds!

Oh yes. Pretty close to Jabba's weight, tough. I think it would be even heavier, around 50-70 lbs!
Problem is that it would be way too big, but you never knows...
I would defenetly get one.

It'll be interesting to see how Jedi Luke turns out. Human likenesses is one area they haven't quite gotten down yet, although Padme doesn't look too bad.
