Attakus 2006 Catalog

Nice work, but awefully expensive. Can only afford our favorite characters, Yoda and Chewbacca.
They don't seem to make too much Marvel anymore.

I was disappointed they didn't make Doc Ock from Spiderman 2 (licence issue) but there is a Marvel project coming up : Marvel characters by French-Belgian cartoonists. Don't expect them to be "comics accurate" and I think it's better this way.

A great pic from a statue we'll possibly never see in stores :

Likeness is off. Not WAY off, but off.

I like it.

Yeah, pretty good likeness on that Buffy statue. Not spot on but definately better than any other buffy statues or bust I have seen pics of.

I knew you'd say that.
Just for the record, It's SMG's agent who asked for multiple changes for more than a year and a half now. Everytime, " something's wrong ". First the nose then the face, the hair, the butt, the thights, the weapon, etc, etc, on and on and on ...
Even worse, he sometimes waits for months to finally disagree with the prototype. My guess is they (SMG and her agent) try to discourage Attakus from releasing it in order for the public to think less about her past appearances and focus more on her "movie" career.

Or perhaps Attakus is not quick enough to follow SMG plastic surgery operations

A few pics (I've tried to translate french commentaries just below)



Translations :
1) One of the first Buffy's faces
2) Comparison between our prototype and SMG's face
3) the profile
4) Face evolution through the last 3 modifications
5) This statue has been regulary sent to her agent and it was never approved. According to him, the ultimate reference for SMG's face is Sideshow 12" scanned doll.

Ah, Buffy Season 4.... Her peak.

No doubt, me too. One of my favorites since I was a kid. Been waiting for a good statue of a ST for a long time. Too bad, going to have to pass on this methinks.
