Attakus 1:5 Stormtrooper statue in a trade with a good friend. One of the last representations of the Stormtrooper that I needed for my collecting focus:







Temporary display for the Stormie:




A cool statue, still also not accurate either: cod piece is huge, armor is a combination of ROTJ woth ESB/ANH, helmet is ok but not perfect. But I'm happy with it. Still the GG Stormtrooper bust is the most accurate scaled Stormie collectible...

Congrats. Love the Attakus Stormtrooper. Have 2 myself.

The Attakus is an ok statue, but, as I said above, far from perfect too. Right now the only accurate licensed scaled Stormtrooper is the old Gentle Giant Stormie bust, then it comes the 1:6 Marmit figure and lastly there is the Kotobukiya Stormie (except the stupid pose).

On the unlicensed realm there is the fan made 1:3 statue which is the most accurate scaled Stormtrooper ever:

They all look ACCURATE. The fan made statue is the MOST ACCURATE scaled Stormtrooper, made from a real suit, scaled to this size - it comes as a kit, and all depends on who is painting it of course. All other licensed stuff is just "imagining" of a Stormtrooper, maybe except for the old GG bust which is scanned from a Stormtrooper helmet.

The Kotobukiya Stormtrooper has a stupid pose, I give you that, but otherwise regarding sculpting of the armor and details it looks much better than the Attakus, or the Sideshow PF or the GG statue. The same for Marmit figure, it looks great, and if customized a bit it also can become awesome.

Gone are the times when people accept anything from collectible companies. There are still collectors that are easily satisfied but I'm not among them. We are not talking about $10 Hasbro figures of a Stormtrooper but about a $$$ collectible which personally I would expect to be as accurate as possible.

We are also talking about Stormtroopers and not the perfect CGI clones. Stormtroopers were imperfect, their armors and helmets were wonky, rough and with lots of warts. We cannot have them all on a scaled item, but the sculpt should look like a Stormtooper and not like an "artistic interpetation" of one. I have a 1:1 SDS Stormtrooper and looks like the 1:3 fan made one.

Of course it won't be 100% accurate, it is impossible and stupid to ask such things on a scaled item, but looking at the old statues and figures that some companies managed to make them accurate, I wonder why others are not able to do them too...
