Those who pick GG are looking at it from a money stand point being more available and less money to get. The chewy from GG sucked elephant balls, it was vinyl and smelled of a cheap used sray can. The hairs looked horrible.
IF I can get an attakus chewy I am going to sell the crappy GG ones. I seen some of the attakus pieces and they are quality , they are second to none.

Attakus. Already seen both in person and the Attakus is of much better quality andmuch better made too. Not to mention bigger. I don't like the shiny base on the GG either. Sorry, but simply there is no comprarrison between Attakus SW statues and GG SW statues. The GG's looks like toys next to the Attakus...

the attakus statues are some artist's hack job. gentle giant's is an exact laser scan thus a far superior likeness which is what i want to collect. being an artist myself it is hard to collect something that is not true to the orginal and is someones else's interpretation when it comes to recreating lucas's master vision. I want it as close to the real thing as possible.

I disgree. I want quality AND likeness, and IMO both categories Attakus wins, hands down.
Take a look at the upcoming GG Vader for exemple. There's no comparisson with the Attakus Vaders, period end of story. The Attakus Vaders looks MUCH better. The cape, the details, the chest protector thing..everything looks better on the Attakus.
There's also some flaws in the GG Vader that are not truthfull to the original movies. (the chest protector beeing one)

"In creating the ultimate villain, we at Gentle Giant went to great lengths to make this piece the quintessential Vader in everyone’s collection. The Darth Vader statue is not created from one specific movie in the Star Wars saga, rather it is inspired by every incarnation to form the archetype you see today. This statue was created using digital data from ILM, various scans of the costume, and reference photos taken from the Original Trilogy."

Almost all of the GG pieces look "cheap" IMO.
I am not a big fan of the Attakus C3P0 but love a lot of their other pieces.
I have a feeling Sideshow's version will be the best....

And that proves what?
I prefer to have one caracter truthfull to one movie than to have one that looks like all of them mixed together.
Lets make a James Bond caracter that are truthfull to all movies. It will have Connery, Dalton, Pierce and Moore mixed in one face. Sometimes it will look like Connery, sometimes it will looks like Moore.
Nah, I don't want that.
