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

Exactly, all this is exciting but if they're only jacking up the price and not the quality then we're screwed.

I wouldn't say "screwed", I just won't buy them.

Just saw a video from SDCC where it said not only are the TaunTaun's head's swappable, but you can swap out the horns as well. So either the forward looking or to the side looking head can be displayed with two full horns or one broken horn.

Now it just needs swap out guts.

Awesome! Can you also put Luke's head on the Tauntaun and visa versa?

That would be very Game of Thrones-y.

And is this said video available for us minions to view as well?

Just go to YouTube and search for a hot chix review video. They have a couple from SDCC talking about the Taun Taun and vader and the Echo Base figures and an in depth look at Grievous as well...

Thanks for that. I had watched this before, but I had the sound turned down because I was at work.

They look awesome, hope the production run is the same as these prototypes.

Seeing as GB was too lazy...bold GB ...here is the vid for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

The Hoth stuff is near the end.

Nice. The commentary along with the video was an especially nice feature.

Anybody else feel the eyes are too squinty? The full scale tauntaun head had very large cattle like eyes.

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

The second sculpt has wider (more open) eyes.

This is the original post I saw in the SS taun taun thread.

Oops. Tried to repost the video in the ESB Vader section.

Great little video with some cool info.

These will be nice to have, but I hope the tau taun have a little more articulation than the dewback

 

[Invictus Sol]

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

It's a statue, like Dewy. You can switch out the heads and horns, but there is no articulation. Personally I think that's the right call, unless they had gone with real fur to hide the joints. Not really a whole lot of need for articulation with these, either. They're props, more or less.

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

I'm wondering if these will be much bigger than the Hasbro 12" scale ones?
