The ironic thing I always found about that picture is that the Cody Elite version was not shown, but yet released...

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Dear attakus,

Can you please put some effort into marketing & communication with the fanbase so most of your $500+ statues dont end up selling for $100 on ebay?

I have never seen a company who makes such good quality product yet so disregarded by the fanbase. People rather pay more for a 1/6 plastic figure or a badly painted sideshow piece than an attakus star war statue that is perfectly painted & made.

fail...

not sure where to post this but I was offered the chance to purchase two one of a kind attakus styled star wars sculpts.

Watto and the scout trooper on speeder bike -





price is way more than I can pay but maybe someone is intrested.
Price is around 3-4 vader 1s for the both.

Pm me if intrested and Ill get you in touch with the seller?

Good lord thats a lot of scratch but those look so badass.

Guess that means the Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike won't be going into production despite it winning the Fan's Choice along with a 2nd Boba Fett and Clone Commander Cody all those years ago.

Man I wish Attakus would get back in the game and put some stuff like this in our hands.

It's a vicious cycle, company sees their $500+ statues going for $100 on ebay and noone buying retail, so they make less & less, so the brand gets less popular and fans exit & new fans dont even know about them, so the prices keep falling.

All attakus needed to do is create a nice website and some good photos, then hire a marketing guy in us to communicate with the fans, their brand will pickup instantly.

I have never seen another company with such outstanding and consistent quality statues, every piece is painted to perfection, and yet fell so low...

Interesting. I have seen that pic of the Scout on Speeder before.

Those are amazing sculpts but far more than I'd want to spend. Agreed I would love for Attakus to get back into producing SW statues. I love their work but am so disappointed with the company.

Hey Attakus!!

If you're listening, any chance of giving us some updates... on anything? You still have some fans here that would love to know if you have anything new lined up. Just sayin'. Awfully quite around here.
