Sideshow high end StarWars maquette's??

[BadMoon]

It's a liitle odd that this thread was posted to talk about higher end maquette's and here we are talking about PF's??

What's the difference? Aren't they both 1/4 scale?

Quality man quality.You can't compare a PF to a something like a Predator or alien maquette.Most maquette's are made mostly of polystone.

It would cost us more than $550 if SS put a few more hundred dollars into making thier PF's.I wasn't talking about raising the price to $550 I was thinking more like $700 to $800 price range.It's a liitle odd that this thread was posted to talk about higher end maquette's and here we are talking about PF's??

SS makes the best PF's already and sure they could be better if they where at that range but very few of us would have any of them or our collections would be 1-2 pieces. 2 pieces would be 1400-1600 at that price I can get 4-5 of what really are just super quality pieces at their current prices. No need to go to that level unless its an absolute must on a piece. There are no maquettes though at that range other than say Attakus which really aren't Maquettes. Heck even SS maquettes in the Marvel line aren't in the $700-800 range.

What is the difference in quality then? I am not trying to be a dick I really don't have a clue. What makes one better than the other? The materials?

Then nobody makes what you're looking for. SS PF are really the best around better than CM stuff which again is like 4x the amount. Maybe someday someone will but right now no it doesn't exist.

Yeah, I'm a little lost too.

since when does higher price mean better quality? imo, attakus has great stuff but is so not worth the price. they definitely have a much smaller market share than ss, most likely because of the limited u.s. dealers and the big pricetag.

I only find their Armored figures to look good. IMO their other ones look like crap. Take the Gamorean Guard for example. Who would pay that price for that?

Yeah,I would only buy a couple of must have pieces as anyways,Vader and Maul.If they get the price down to marvel level then that would be great! But we are talking StarWars here so.

You wouldn't call PF High End? WTF!? They cost no less than $200 and as much as $800 I'd say those are High End.

What he said...

Why doesn't Sideshow make any high end StarWars maquette's??

Because they've stated from the beginning that they specialize in cheap toys. I don't know how many hours I've spent pretending that the mouth of 1:1 Bossk is the Sarlacc Pit while I feverishly pound the Luke and Boba Fett PF's against each other as they battle to the death above it.

Marvel Rules, SW is for fools !!!

Chavez is here to do nothing but stir the pot. Many of you keep buying into to his act.....very sad.

The comment was,I would like to see some StarWars maquette's with the same quality as the Sideshow/ADI Alien and Predator maquette's.I would definitely find those pieces of higher quality.I never related Attakus or any other company that doesn't collaborate with SS to what I was referring to.

I'll say it again,high end maquette!! Not a bronze statue.

I doubt there is much of a market for a $800 1/4th maquette when you can get $350 ones that are pretty darn good.

How can you say that?? SS is producing Alien and Predator Maquette's.There would most certainly be a market for StarWars one's.I know a lot of you guys like your PF's but c'mon,there's definitely a market out there for a more expensive,better quality statue/maquette than a PF.

 

[KitFisto]

PF's are better than maquettes.

 

[BadMoon]

PF's are better than maquettes.

I still don't know what the difference between a PF or a maquette. Can someone please elaborate?
