Ambash... quick question.... How does the Attakus statue compare size-wise to Sideshows female comiquette line?

I have always been frustrated with the fact that there is not a Leia that is in her ANH clothing.... thinking about maybe hiring someone to do a conversion if the size is comparable.... meaning coverting a SS Comiquette to Leia if the size is comparable....


I ahve been looking for a side-by-side in peoples collection to see, but I cannot find one... and I noticed you have lots of attakus statues....

All my Attakus statues are boxed up at my parents home (about an hour away) otherwise I would jsut look myself.... and I only have 2 SS comiquettes and they are way off scale compared to each other (X-23 and White Queen).... X-23 just towers over White Queen....

I actually don't have any female SS comiquettes, other than maybe Elektra. I can take a pic of her next to the attakus padme if you like?

The chance of attakus making leia is slim to none, as you have said. But, since SS announced the new 1/5 scale mythos line, a leia may be available down the road from them...and you would not have to go through the trouble of customizing one.

best of luck either way!

thank you for the kind words.

I LOVE this bust. It is life size and the webbing is raised (not just painted).

But, it is a custom, and very, very light in weight, which I know some collectors don't like.

There were no paint issues with mine, but I have heard of 1 person complain about the paint application on theirs.

Hope that helps a little.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Congrats on some great new additions! I've been seeing a lot of this Spidey bust recently and am very tempted, I'm just concerned about paint issues. Your's looks fine though, may have to pull the trigger now.

thanks again for the kind words. I have't updated this thread in over 1 year. My wife and I had twins, and lets just say time is not on my side.

I will try and do a big update (over 50 new statues!) when I am home for March break.
