Attakus Sandtrooper latest figure

Ok, i know this is a sideshow collectors board but just a quick poll

I think attakus are very hit and miss but this latest statue is, in my opinion, the best trooper statue i have ever seen

For those that havent seen it



Would you buy it?

Count me in as well. I really like Attakus and I whish they put out a few more statues a year then what they currently do.

Easy pass for me. Im not too fond of Attakus and their price point when they dont even have a license. And something just looks weird about it IMO.

Where are people getting this "Attakus doesn't have a license" stuff? That's not true at all.

And what looks weird about the Sandtrooper is the elongated helmet.

C'mon Nash how can you say they have an unreasonable price point

But I actually agree, I don't collect statues, and it does seem like these guys are really expensive... but their non-human/armored likenesses are pretty badass.

it's a rifle.

*shudder* Ugh R. Lee Ermy. That man is truely horrifying, in a good way. But yea, the trooper looks good but not my cup o tea.

I think Attakus makes some very fine collectibles, but their prices suck

I voted yes if I had the money.

Nice piece, but a "no" for me, I would never be able to collect this line; their likenesses (human) are downright awful.

cool,

price wise i agree and you can do really well with these on ebay

Attakus doesnt show up that much but i saw the attakus jawa, chewbacca go for only £40

So annoyed i missed them

Huh? Attakus has had the Star Wars license for a LONG time. Much longer than Sideshow, actually.

Still, I don't like the way the trooper is looking down. If I were to get any Attakus pieces, I'd get the Jabba setup. That is amazing.

Yeah that was my bad...apparantly I was misinformed. Clearly at the bottom of the pic it says LFL 2006, DOH!

Will you still love me?

Got one ordered. Price may be higher but if you want the best fully sculpted, this is arguably it. And that there are more characters done that may not be seen from SS.

yeah...so why is attakus so crazily expensive>?

I'm a sucker for Stormtroopers but I don't have any Attakus pieces. I'm thinking about this one though. Decent edition size as well.

Mine!!! :chew

It's one of the better pieces from Attakus but no way worth the $320-$450 asking price I've seen on various online stores. For that kind of cash you could probably get the Kotobukiya vinyl Sandtrooper,a fully articulated Marmit 1/6 figure and both GG mini bust variants all of which are better than the Attakus statue IMO. Then there's always the possibility of Sideshow releasing 3 different Sandtroopers in a similar way to the 3 Endor troops that are already set for release. Why bother with 1 statue when for the same price you could build a small squad that's fully poseable?
