69 euros on the Attakus site, I paid a bit less at my lcs. I imagine they could be picked up cheaper on ebay if they ever came up for auction.

Argus Filch PG Mini-Bust. Only problem: the lantern was broken. I can't believe they used such a cheap, thin-grade wire to hold this. After the so-called "Quality-Control" issues they had with the PG busts(and supposedly had to send them back to China), they didn't catch this? Should've utilized the same metal that was used for the Hagrid bust. The right side looks like it could be easily crazy-glued, but the left would have to be re-sodered(sp). By the way, the lantern doesn't light-up(like Hagrid's does).

The rest of the sculpt looks fantastic and this could've EASILY been one the best in the Potter series, had it not been for the cheap-ass wire that was used. I spoke to Greg @ Gentle Giant, and he had me email photos so I can get a replacement. I'll let everyone know if that's successful(or not).

My Elite Corps Clone Trooper has arrived.

I know they solicited this as Commander Faie (which quite frankly I never understood) but it doesn't indicate that anywhere on the outer box.







With the rest of the Kashyyyk crew.

Looks alright but the helmet sculpt is completely off for me and i'm sure this was pointed out ages ago and it obviously hasn't been changed.
