I know people might not be to keen to put their hand up and say they are seriously cconsidering this due to the flack they may cop from some people but I am very interested to know if anyone here thinks they may pull the trigger on this?
I would not give anyone flack. The cheaper alternatives don't give the same amazing appearance as the statues IMO and if I could afford it I would grab this and the others no question. I hope to see at least one person here buy it so we can see some in person pics. Same with the other Life size statues.
I could care less about flack, especially from some of the "jokers" who post here, so I'll admit that I'm considering it. I've got the old Don Post Fett statue from several years ago(pictured below) that I know I could sell to a very wealthy collector who just bought my 1:1 Darth Vader a couple months ago so the money from the sale of it would easily have me covered. The only decision is if I want to go for the Sideshow statue or have one of the talented builders over at The Dented Helmet do an accurate version for me. Going to weigh my options and probably decide sometime over the summer.
If someone here can afford $7500 a pop for a figure more power to them.
I think you're taking people's opinions personal, actually it's quite obvious. "Jokers" huh? Because they don't agree and think this is, just like, so totally awesome? FYI, you don't have to be wealthy to afford this at all. It's more like trying to justify spending the money. If you average a statue a month, you can afford it. I can afford it, but there's no way I would buy this or any other life-size figure because, IMHO, it's no worth it, at all.
If this thing excites you and you can possibly sell it later to your buddy, Thurston Howell the 4th, I am so completely overjoyed and happy for the both of you.

People have said that life-size figures like this are the ultimate display piece, and so on. My honest question is, where do you put one of these things and not have it seem like there's a guy in a costume just standing around in one of the rooms of your home?
Most people's living spaces aren't exactly designed like museum galleries, where a figure like this could be out in the middle of the floor, able to be observed without looking wildly out of place. Sticking Boba in a corner or against a wall seems like it's missing the point.

If you have someone willing to fork over serious coin for your Don Post Fett, I wouldn't hesitate and do it (before he finds out that he can have either a more accurate fan made Fett or the Sideshow piece).
If you are serious about having a Movie accurate Fett, in my opinion, I would suggest talking to the guys on the Dented Helmet. Or you can wait until you see final/non prototype pics of the Sideshow piece.
Here's a pic of my Fett that I am still working on:
All of the pieces were bought off TDH (and painted by me). One thing I am not sure of is if anyone does commissions for mannequin builds? Worth a shot to ask.
Hey....Different strokes for different folks.
I love my lifesize statue collection. Its what I gravitate to in my display room more than my toy collection (which is fairly big). And, I have a special room in my house with all of my collection in it. So it's not like I have these chilling in my living room or my bedroom (my wife would NOT be cool with that.).

Agreed!
I know my busts are, licensed and fan made too.
Yeah, because people who want accurate, movie quality replica statues have done exactly what you have posted. Its just that easy folks!
I'm no Fett expert, nor Fett collector, but I'm curious about SS Fett accuracy though (especially for this price), since we know SS is not well known for accuracy, and the Han in Carbonite is far less accurate than Illusive Concept or fan made ones...
I thought we agreed to disagree, but you seem to keep provoking the discussion so if anyone is taking this personal it's YOU!!! It's clear 1:1 stuff is not your focus so why do you keep posting in this thread anyway? Obviously your not going to buy this piece and you say have no interest in life-size statues so basically at this point you're just trolling looking to stir up something. I don't have the time or interest in carrying on with that so just drop it and move on to another thread as you are just wasting everyone's time.

It looks like he's playing tug of war with his blaster (no double entendre intended), with that weird pulled back hip action.

Ah, of course. Separate room it is. Guess I just need a bigger house !
Interested in seeing one of these, though I couldn't afford this thing at half the price... Good luck to those taking the plunge.

My wife isn't too thrilled with my Fett in the living room but whatever.
I'm considering picking this one up too, I just have to see how much I spend on the trackcar this summer.
The last time I checked forums are places where people post differing opinions which, when someone disagrees with YOU, you call them a troll.
Put me, and everyone else who has their own/differing opinion, on ignore, and move on.
Don't worry, you're the only one I feel the need to put on Ignore. Everyone else here is fine.
