We where at this year's Toy Fair since New York is close to Montreal. For San Diego, maybe next year who knows, but right now we are busy planning some surprises and San Diego couldn't fit in our schedule, unfortunately

Long story short, with 'human likeness' you have to fit with Lucas' vision of 'human likeness'. Basically, the flaws has to be scaled down as much as possible. For real human likeness, you have to see our creations where we don't have any boundaries (Like Mona Lisa for exemple).

Since not prototypes are ready so far, we don't know. It depends if we go crazy or not on these one...

It's not likely but...who knows!

What about a Bulrog statue?

There's two small bust of Bragon from the same serie, La Quete de l'Oiseau du Temps. Both are in stock right now in our facilities.

As for Bulrog, I don't think there was any plan about that.

Any chance you're going to make a smaller scale (and more affordable) statue of Pelisse? Make me happy and say yes, nice Attakus people!

I wish for you but I'm pretty sure this won't happen. Loisel is really pleased with this Pelisse and I don't think he'll feel the need to do another one.

Sorry...but, we have some crazy Guarnido mini-bust coming-up, you'll see...

Nah, re-releasing would mean re-casting and that would be a drag for all our collector who wish not to see their statue drop in value. It's a one time thing with Attakus, for better or worse...

But I think there's one or two online merchant who can have access to those, loom around, you'd be surprise.

That's correct my friend.

Would be willing to pay as it detracts from the statue.

Thanks for joining the forum.

Unfortunately, we did not produced 'new' lightsabers for the old statue. You could get a Luke Lightsaber to fit on Vader, but the color will remain green.

Sorry about that, we can't be perfect all the time

Define Premium Format please...It,s really subjective.

We did one statue with clothing, Pelisse.

But unlike Sideshow, we sculpt details underneath the Clothes.

That is why we don't fancy clothing so much, we don't really cut corners when it comes to sculpting.

But hey, who knows, maybe will get tired and drop around some clothes for ourselves
