1/6th Scale Sideshow Tauntaun

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun (in development)

Nice! How cool will it be to swap Han and Luke AND get the different Tauntaun head on there too.... But yeah, I'm thinking mainly Luke on the Tauntaun. Han can display well without.

Luke all the way. Han can chill with leia.

I'd kind of prefer a Han, as I'm already sitting with somewhat of a Luke overload, displaying both HT Bespin versions, and especially if you count all the different releases on my Hasbro crowd shelf. A nice high-end Han is, IMO, sorely missing, and I'm not going to hold my breath to see one from Hot Toys this decade.

Assuming boith Han and Luke are on the docket, we just need a Rebel Trooper, AT-AT Driver, Veers and Leia to go along with the Snowtrooper and E-Web!! So full of awesome!

I'm glad SS is releasing this but like you said I would prefer Han to be the figure that coincides with it.

They should make both Han and Luke. Luke displayed on the Tauntaun and Han doing some other stuff.

I wonder if they'll be a way to display the innards of the Taun-Taun. If they'll have like a clip on exposed belly piece...

That would be sweet!

Considering that it's a non-articulated statue sculpted in a standing position I'm going to guess no.

I would love it if they'd later release a laid over belly splitting version

I still pine for the crazy custom icruise did back in the day using the Hasbro TaunTaun; it was f'n awesome

Have a link to any pictures? I'm just about to repair mine by gluing the legs to the body as one of them came off and simply will not go back on. I'd love to see what others have done with them.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun (in development)

Unfortunately all his pictures are missing from this thread... bummer too has he had some really cool work. But if you type icruise TaunTaun into google images a set of pics will come up, but they're no too big and pretty low resolution... but you can get the general idea.

He actuallhy resculpted it a bit so the limbs actually laid across one another, just awesome looking

Re: Luke on Tauntaun 1/6 or statue or something

It looks like it's puckerring for a kiss. And what is wrong with those eyes? I was really looking forward to this figure. What a disappointment.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun (in development)

Sorry about the missing photos. When they discontinued Mac.com's web hosting, a lot of my photos went dead. I took a few new ones just now, and here are some in-progress shots as well. I still want to put it on a base with some model snow.

Wow...... that is fabulous work......

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun (in development)

What'd I tell you guys... still even years later one of my favorite customs. Now if you'd just sell it to me, you know it doesn't fit into your Jabba theme

Amazing work, icruise!

That's an alternate head. There's a cut line in the neck. You can see the regular version in the background.

I suppose we'll find out next week if there are two different versions or two heads in one box.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun (in development)

It's seems likely that they'll make Han and Luke versions and just change out the heads (and maybe the front legs). I'd be surprised if they just threw in an extra head when they could sell two different versions instead, but we'll see.
