Does one head have sleepy eyes and the other have fully opened eyes?

Two separate heads. Despite people's complaints about the seam, definite must buy.

I am as well. I'm just waiting for a few more reward points.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, this is a necessary piece

 

[Darthrazz]

Yeah, this is a necessary piece

I've been thinking of selling my 1966 Batman and Robin set to buy a Tauntaun, I have $100 in rewards and whatever I get for that set will probably be enough to pay for it. But I can't seem to let go of that set! I've been entering EVERY Sideshow Twitter and Facebook contest hoping to win one, but I don't have that kind of luck.

My Tauntaun love hasn't diminished since his arrival.

 

[Fremen]

Mine neither.

 

[drjedisith]

[Fremen]

You should. I'm really happy I got two.

They should have just made an extra body and base to buy for the second head and gear so the heads don't go to waste and sit in a box

 

[Pixelpiper]

Except it's easier to waste the heads than to distribute and stock two giant boxes with different contents.

They should have made an extra body with split open belly and entrails to go with that half-dead eye head.

[Aliaz]

Saw this in person today. Damn this thing is huge! I knee it would be a big piece but I was caught a bit offguard. Looked great!

Is anybody planning to replace the reins with leather straps?

Is anybody planning to replace the reins with leather straps?

I'm about half done with my Hasbro Taun resculpt/reboot and the ref pics I have show that the prop reins are in fact webbing, not leather (I had initially thought they were leather also.) Though the webbing that is most common in 1/6 - what SSC has used - has very prominent parallel/hash lines that the real Taun reins don't have - it's a very fine weave.
