Or to display space wise.

Indeed. Very expensive! But worth it.

I've never seen another one here in Mexico, so I pull the trigger.

Got mine out of storage. Decided to pose Han Solo on him it this time.

How could you have put that cool piece in storage?!

Lack of space unfortunately.

Yes, its really bad after 16 years, especially if you collect other stuff.

Tauntaun is a cool piece, same goes for the dewback.

I totally understand what that is like. But I would have packed away a figure or two just to have this one on display. Just too cool to have hidden away.

My two tauntauns with the SSC Luke and Han atop them are among the favorite pieces in my collection. Surprised SSC hasn't re-issued them...

looks like hot toys has the dewback coming out later this year - looks absolutely amazing and i'm in for one. I don't see why the taun taun won't be too far behind or definitely in the pipeline. The hot toys dewback definitely looks better than the old SS one

I think the SS Dewback holds up pretty well. I had it, sold it, regretted it so happy to have the HT on pre-order. Would be interesting to see a HT Tauntaun but that Sideshow one is pretty great...

I missed the SS Tauntaun as I wasn’t too much into 1/6 back then. Being that ESB is my fave, if HT does one, I’m all over it.

The SS tauntaun is stunning - too beautiful. But I’m tempted to sell it if HT has one coming out which makes sense since it’s one of the most popular SW animals - like the dewback

Looking for Sculpted canisters for my tauntaun as they where missing from my box, as you can see in pic.

It'd be a pretty simple thing to cast (and for you to paint) so maybe someone with the SSC Taun could pull a cast and sell you a couple. JediJim on here I seem to recall has the SSC Taun and is really handy with casting so maybe reach out to him to see if he'd do it.

They are a surprisingly common thing to be missing from the set (seen a few on ebay over the years with the same omission) - maybe due to deteriorating pleather straps or just their size/shape being easier to lose. So I'd imagine someone could sell a few casts of them on ebay.

For anyone looking, I posted a pair of these for sale here: https://www.collectorfreaks.com/threads/pair-of-sideshow-deluxe-1-6-scale-taun-taun-statues.251787/
