I believe it's 18 x 18 x 14.5 inches, so the height is 14.5" with the base all around is 18".

I'm looking forward to seeing it in person as well. Should arrive next week.

I just saw this in person. All I can say is wow all around! Nice sculpt and size was bigger than I expected. It is quite a unique piece but beautiful. I wish I had my camera with me

Opened mine last night and love it. So different from the other SW statues. Great statue overall. GG did very good detail with all the wiring bits on this legs. It's a big statue and I'm not sure where I'm going to display him. Each leg has an etched number on its peg so you know the order to put them in. Otherwise, they all fit just about anywhere. The Maul sculpt is fantastic and his horns are really well done.

Only gripe is the base. It's mostly resin except for the polished/mirror finish. That's plastic. I guess it makes sense from a production standpoint for the size of it. You can't tell it's plastic unless you tap your nails on it.

Good luck re-packing the legs in the box after taking them out. Each is on a foam pad in a bag and carefully layered in 2 piles in the box. Not easy to get them all together again. I'm nervous to push down to pack them in.

Here are some quick pics before I packed it up. Sorry for the poor lighting. Did this on my phone in the foyer.

Spectacular. Whatever Chinese factory GG is using, they are amazing. Sideshows factory's can't even compete with GG anymore., They certainly couldn't get that black base to come out that beautiful and what looks scratch free and The paint on Maul is gorgeous. Well done GG!!

Congrats on a great piece!

Have you seen SSC's Shaak Ti, Malgus and Mythos Boba? They are top notch and way more involved than most GG items. GG has stepped it up but they had a low starting point.
