1/6th Scale Sideshow Tauntaun

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.

I'm betting that it's just the one tauntaun with 2 heads included. Cheaper route for SS since they don't have to stock 2 different items.

Dammit! If they show Han on the Taun Taun I don't know how I'm gonna be able to resist!

Great work on that TaunTaun, icruise. Looks great.

In regards to Sideshows, I'm thinking it will come with both heads or the alternate is the exclusive. Otherwise I don't see the point of making them removable in the first place. Would be better to have two different, seamless sculpts, IMO, if the idea was to push people to buy both.

Edit: And VASith has a good point, as well. These guys are going to be big. Extra head included standard just makes sense to me, but we'll see.

This is the company that released two nearly identical Gamorrean Guards, though. I could see them potentially releasing two of these, although including both heads would definitely be preferable.

With Sideshow's track record I could see it going either way... I'm leaning more towards it being one figure with 2 heads given they are showing both in the teaser image. But, it could just as likely be 2 separate releases.

If it is I'll buy a Luke version, just a bit more iconic given it's the first time you see Luke on Hoth and the first TaunTaun you see. And that way I can leave Han to be taking out the Probe Droid

That would look awesome. Can't see them releasing two versions thou. It's going to be a big and expensive item.
I'm won't be buying as hoth stuff isn't for me but well done Ssc for a) an ot item and b) a cool looking beast.

I think Style A ESB is my favorite ever. The way Vader just looms in the BG over Luke, Han and Leia. It really captures the essence of the film, which also happens to be my favorite movie of all time!

Looks like he's sniffing Han's shoulder.

Agreed 1000000%!

This was the poster I wanted to take to CVI to have signed.
Ended up with some group combos instead.

Someday, I would love to get an original signed by the major cast.

And is Luke smoking?

Maybe we'll get a battle damage Hoth Luke to face the Wampa!

And a wampa, for that matter...

I could see a bloody Luke head being the exclusive.

When I first read that, I thought you meant a decapitated Luke head.

Damn that would be awesome.
