Sideshow Taskmaster PF is perfection, but unfortunatly i have no attachment to the character.

Cool man. I’m glad the sword works for you. IMO, making it so you end up with a PF that’s 25” wide (4” wider than it is tall) creates all sorts of logistical issues, including trying to fit the thing in any sort of cabinet with doors. Then, you tack on it’s another Captain Morgan pose, a chintzy little base, and more awful softgoods, and the thing is just a loser of a statue.
The sword is silly to me, but taste is subjective, so if you want to say the sword is fine, go ahead. It just leaves you the need to come up with some other explanation why the statue failed. I personally don’t think the character’s popularity fully explains why they can’t give him away, since Sideshow doesn’t have any issues selling out comparable runs of well made statues of original characters (e.g. Rebel Terminator). In contrast, they took a long time to sell out of the last (garbage) Deathstroke PF as well. IMO, quality plays a role.
