Won one on ebay and got it yesterday. The likeness of Christopher Lee is astounding. Ventress' arm didn't fit though. Had to cut the metal peg to shorten it so that it would fit.

Caused a small break in her arm trying to fit it before the modification. Was a clean break that I was able to fix with epoxy and it doesn't show since it's on the back of her arm where it leans on Dooku. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Just wish the Dooku PF looked like Christopher Lee.

Has it been that long since I last visited this thread?

How much did you buy yours for, dude?

Haven't come around to letting mine go yet. Been untouched for quite some time now. Sheesh. Something tells me I just have too much.

I really like the piece, too bad it doesn't come out like Baby Doll.

Won it for $185. Decent since it's 2 statues I guess.

I also got the Vader a few weeks ago for $180 but the saber blade was broken (and a very clear attempt to glue it back together was apparent). I e-mailed the guy and was very mad since he listed it as MIB. I asked for $70 back and he complied so I really got it for $110. Anyone know if GG can send a replacement blade?

finally on Saturday I won a Darth Maul International statue for $80.

Guess I got my sith.

I just got this statue (Thank You Ebay) and its one I have wanted for years. I love the pose and its one of the first statues that got me into collecting these past years. Great beautiful piece!

Congrats. This is a great underrated piece. Saw it in person a few years ago and was VERY impressed.

I have it from the beginning added to my GG collection.
Only thing is that it is a little bigger than the regular GG statues.

I have the Star Wars magazine cover with the artwork. I was going to get the statue. Don't know why I passed. I think Gentle Giant changed the sculpt or something. Maybe it was my distaste for Episode 3. I still have the unpainted prototype images somewhere on my PC.
