Attakus General Grievous: SF Members pics & opinions

Hey Everyone!! When I asked for ppl to post pics of Jango Fett Attakus, alot of you were nice enough to do so, and that sold me- I picked it up about a week later and I love it.

Now I would like to get as many images as possible for the GENERAL GRIEVOUS Attakus statue: Close ups, all angles etc

Your help would be appreciated!!

Thanks everone.

EDIT: Here are some my pics of this statue as I have since purchased it after all your help!

Now that I own the Attakus Grievous, I can really see now that he is not out of scale at all (alot of people question that). The pictures for this Attakus statue not only not do it justice, but dont give you a good representation of the scaling and size of the piece-this is why I really had concerns about this initially. Also the base is not as bad in person than it looks in pics believe it or not, this again contributed to the scaling of the statue looking so different in person, and its relation to the base etc...(his name on the base is engraved which I did not expect- I thought it was just painted/printed on the base..nice touch!).

The detailing, paintapp and sculpt is just amazing on this statue. Such a fantastic addition to my collection. The best Grievous collectable out there!

The rest of my pics are on page #6 and #7

Have to agree with Josh here, although i find that the base had to be the same as the rest.
Further it's great.

Man it still bugs me- doesn't Grievous look out of scale- as in too small?

Grievous- at full height- 7.08661417 feet (meters to feet conversion on google, meters from star wars databank

Vader- 6.62729659 feet (same thing- google conversion, from star wars databank.)

I guess if Grievous stood up straight...

Can someone chime in here?

Correct if he stood up straight............... If i only could have 2 statues in my whole collection would be the Iron Man Comiquette, and The Attakus Grievous.......... the General is actually my FAVORITE statue of all that i own the Detail is AMAZING, the Paint Job is PERFECT this is a complex beatifull and well design work of art...... so if you can get one do so........ you will love it.................

This is such an amazing statue. Certainly one of Attakus' finest works. I own it and the Sideshow Ex. and as much as I love the SS pose the Attakus Grievous is superior in every other way. The fully sculpted cape and little details everywhere on this piece really make it a must have. The is the best statue of General Grievous out there IMO.

Here is a pic of mine.

I own and love both versions as well, but I have to go with the SS exclusive as the better of the two.

of course just my 2 pennies - and you really can't go wrong with either one!
