I want it as close to the real thing as possible.
Couldn't say better, Mr. Wooktroop!

But... I like the pose of the Attakus Vader more than GG's pose...

Did you ever saw the Attakus one? So much more details and the expression on Attakus Chewbacca put the GG one to shame, IMO. Look at the fur, face expression, mouth, eyes.. much more detailed and better painted than the GG. And Attakus one looks more faithfull to the original movie, too. GG Chew's Head looks way too small compared to the original movie. Where's the computers and their "faithfull" repro? Do you really buy that?
For me the GG one looks really bad compared to the Attakus Chewbacca. GG Chewbacca looks like Shebacca, or Lassie.
And I don't want C3 hanging on the back of my Chewbacca. I want Chewbacca alone.

And don't take me too seriously, glad people have diferent tastes or this World would be very boring. Enjoy your statue.

The question you have to ask yourself is who has the best Vader Sculpt? Vader one is without doubt the best.

Agreed. Even tough I love my Vader 2, I like the posture of the Vader one a little more. That's why I'm getting it too.

It's simple. GG is crap when compared to Attakus.

It's like comparing Hasbro to GG. Hasbro is crap compared to GG.

If you have the money, go with Attakus or better yet, Sideshow.

Both Attakus Vader pieces are incredible. Save your money and buy the best one.

Haven't seen these in person, but from the photos I think:

Obi = so so... Sideshow Obi looks better (so far).
Jango= Legs too short
Chewie= good
Clone Trooper= good, from what I can see.
