This is my favorite and they look great. A tauntaun in its natural environment.

Well his natural environment will be around until May here...LOL.
It's going to be a while until 2 blizzards worth of snow and 5 storms worth of snow all melt.

My neighbors were looking at me like I was insane...LOL

You should have yelled over to them "like you didn't already know?" or "hey, have you guys seen the other one anywhere?"

I gave the photo a little exposure and contrast boost.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Not sure if I'll jump on a TaunTaun because as cool as it is I don't know that either of the Hoth figures are so good that they warrant a purchase of a larger piece like this. Luke is pretty good but Han in my opinion is really just so-so.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

The Tauntaun doesn't need Han nor Luke to shine.

Just a few shots of my Tauntaun on Hoth.
My side yard with over 6 feet of snow and ice.

I'd have loved to see their faces.

In order to get this INSANELY GOOD PHOTO?!?

I think you just knocked me off the fence I was sitting on whether to get this or not, DT. Now I'll be $350 poorer.

Cool shots. I would'nt worry about your neighbours man, clearly they were the ones that were missing out
Probably just waiting for you to ask them to share in the fun

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Someone needs to go to a park, place their Tauntaun in the snow like this and put a leash around it neck like your taking it for a walk. I'd love to see peoples reaction

I think if you go that far then you have to wait until someone's walking past and then get a plastic bag out to clean up your Tauntaun droppings.

Glad my pics helped you decide to order this.
Usually pics by other board members helped made me choose to buy a figure.
OMG's pics were usually the tipping point for me.

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

20% of the cost of the Tauntaun and the shipping (+ £12 admin cost if you don't have an account with FedEx)

so looking at about £80, im registered with fed ex so will save on the £12..cheers mate

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

This really wasn't on my radar till I saw those pictures, oh man!

 

[Darthrazz]

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Does anyone know/think that the Tauntaun will fit in a detolf? Of course after removing a shelf. Can it hold the weight?

 

[galactiboy]

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

I don't think so galactiboy. I couldn't measure super accurately but on the base she is 18" tall and nose to tail about the same.

Not sure if it helps but my display shelf is 27" tall and 34" wide

Yeah, the height is not a problem... it's the legth from the tail to body. It would probably have worked if the front of his body stuck out more from the base, but it looks like that is not the case. Still, if anyone could even put him on a 16"x12" square of about that same size I'd be enternally grateful as it would give me a better idea on his overall dimensions. There's about 20" of diagonal space... but I don't know if the base would actually fit on that, or be hanging over the side

I don't really have another space for him, so if what I have doesn't work I may sadly have pass

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

It might go down faster than a cheap hooker.

I've read that a Detolf shelf is made to take 6 kg.

The Tauntaun is listed as 7.26 kg.

So much the detolf idea...maybe I can place it on top?

Aren't local retailers offering better deals? I mean, ordering direct from Sideshow won't get you any ex bonus so why bother?

 

[Stealth V3teran]

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

$80 rather than £80 doesn't sound so bad.

About £52 today.

yeah you're right lol forgot i was working in dollars for a second

because the majority of them are now sold out, My hoth diorama plan has only been an idea the last month or so so i initially never pre ordered this. besides it works out around 30 maybe 40 more than uk sellers to get it a few months earlier im fine with that.
