1/6th Scale Sideshow Tauntaun

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

There it is form SDCC.

Is it really that bad? If you were going to settle on a specific rider, a little dry brushing would help hide that. Easy.

I love that some of you guys need a bit of drama.

Enough with these seam puns. They are becoming a pain in the neck.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Hopefully the neck seam can be hidden some how. It's a nice idea to have swappable heads, but a very visible seam's bummer.

Maybe it's just frozen rope.

LOL. A little dry brushing ain't gonna help that seam. Better decide on one head and whip your putty out.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

The seam isn't that bad, the heads are swappable so you've got expect it to a degree. I'll be ok with it.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

That seam is disspointing, but not a deal breaker. This thing looks too good to pass up.

Painting wont solve the seam problem. As mentioned earlier,you are going to have to putty over it. I planned on this being Luke's Tauntaun, so not being able to swap heads doesn't really matter to me anyway.

Meh, I prefer the Hasbro Tauntaun.

Exactly! I'll just sculpt a new Tauntaun and use the horns and accessories that Sideshow ships in the box. j/k. But a non-permanent putty will find its way in covering up any butt-ugly cracks in the final product on the shelf surely.

Hey, I wasn't trolling. I prefer an honest to goodness toy, with some articulation and well sculpted and painted for its time, to a big fat lump of motionless polystone with a glaring WTF-is-that line around its neck. That may not be a widely shared POV but it is a legitimate POV. My dream Tauntaun would have more in common with Hasbro than this - inner die-cast articulation modelled on the original puppet's articulation, fur and PERS and crucially, the potential for movement. To me this isn't a figure, it's a statue.

The reason I'm not getting this is because it's a statue. Looks awesome re: head and saddle, but something that enabled a bit of posing would have been great, even if that meant a couple of swap-out legs/arms. The heads are a really nice touch, but they were more to enable buyers of either Luke or Han to get this than to get different looks. And Fur wouldnt have been as difficult with a Taun as it was with Chewy. Just not sure the sculpted fur looks all that great - looks a bit stucco/concrete render on the production piece's body.

I'm the #1 fan of Hoth, have Luke and Han on PO, and would have been been all over a 1/6 Taun, but this one didn't do it for me because it is static polystone. The Hasbro one - with a ton of custom work - could be pretty great, though it's likely a bit oversize like many Hasbro 1/6 pieces.

Nice ideas but would be prohibitively expensive.

I don't know why sideshow can't just give us a real life 1/6 tauntaun.
