Maybe you got a lemon?
Really, I have/had dozens of Attakus pieces and never got a bad painted one. Price for price, the best paint jobs in busines for sure. Generally what you see in the pictures is what you get in the end, unlike other companies. You don't see any paint flaws, nada.

What do collectors think about ATTAKUS

CAP, what are the dimensions of your Jabba display?

I just love Attakus!

I agree with Cap concerning their paintjobs. Those are just museum worthy.

The first statue I ever picked up was the Attakus Darth Maul back in 2002 and it still is my favourite statue, by far. I still remember being completely blown away by the quality of both the sculpt and the paintjob.

Being a fan of classic neutral poses for statues and not so much a fan of mixed media (though I also love my Vader/Obi-Wan combo by SS), Attakus statues are simply as good as it gets imo.

Attakus do have the best SW statues out on the market especially the non human characters and the variety of characters are the best on the market.

I would agree with all that have made mention that these pieces are very costly.

The paintjob on these are second to none..........

Jango, Vader (1+2), Royal Guard and Stormie etc. are must
haves for any serious SW collector.

All I need now is a Commander Cody statue...

Since I saw the PF Vader compared to the ATk one....
ATk all the way...

I absolutely love Attakus statues. Their non-human SW line are the only statues I currently collect.

My first statue was DV1 when it was initially released and was instantly hooked. Now I have 8 more (Emperor, Royal Guard, Stormie, Boba, Tusken, Jawa, Darth Maul and TIE Pilot) am looking to add another 7 to my collection (Jabba, Salacious & Pipe, Bib, Gamorrean, Jango, Grievous and Clone Trooper).

Their paintjobs and sculpting are just awesome! Yes the prices are a bit high, but I feel that it's completely worth it. I have no desire to get any of the human statues as I don't really think the likeness is there...I hope they do Dooku and Tarkin well.
