archo....thanks for a very impressive showcase for this figure...your photos are great!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Agreed. Beautiful shots, archo. Really demonstrates what an impressive piece this is.

Could we see a little bit more detail though? Just kidding; GREAT photos! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Beertruck]

Excellent photos! Great job! I got my Taun Taun with Hoth Luke, Probe Droid, Snowtrooper and R2-D2.
They all look killer together!
Hoth Han is next!

How did you tie the scarf like that Spiker? Looks great!

Do people think the neck seam is super noticeable in hand? I've noticed in some photos it's REEEALLY obvious and kinda ugly, and in others it's not so bad.

If it was just a smidge cheaper I'd just order it and judge it myself, but I'm still unsure if I want to purchase it. If only I won the lottery...

As a statue collector who hates seams and joints when I saw it in person in a store it was indeed quite obvious. More so then in many of the pics, but that seems par for course with many figures.

It bugged me at first, but both heads have angles where the seam isn't really noticeable. Depends if your display space is versatile enough to turn it the other way or have it facing forward, etc.

How tall is the Tauntaun with Luke or Han riding on top? Total height? I am tempted to go for this, but I need to make sure it will fit in the spot I am thinking I could put it.

 

[The Giamontan]

Mine measures at 19 1/4" with Luke on it.

Wow- ok - need think of another spot thanks

no problem! Good luck finding a new spot. It's well worth finding a good spot as this makes an awesome display.

Just under 19". Approx. 18 3/4"

Trying to find a space for a tauntaun with Luke riding before I buy because if I can't find a space I am not buying I have an old Hasbro 1/6 scale tauntaun in storage, would it be a realistic stand in size wise to use to test possible spaces for displaying the HT figures? Has anyone done a height and length comparison? Any pictures that shows the difference in size? Id like to think if I can get my old Hasbro one to fit the new one will fit, but I don't want to find out I'm wrong later and have no place to display the HT one if I order.

Save time, don't go opening boxes, use a tape measure instead.

Yea, I've been measuring but it's not like the figure is a square and I am hoping that I might be able to squeeze him in a tight space if I can place it at the right angle. Height and length is easy to figure out but I'm hoping to place him diagonally in a way where the tail will go into a back corner and the head sticks out from the shelf in the opposite front corner. Maybe I need a measurement from the end of his tail to the front of the base. That would help. If the base fits on the shelf, it might be ok if his neck sticks out from the shelf

You won't be able to use the Hasbro figure to help with this - its orientation and proportions aren't the same. If you can fit the height and length, you can make it work one way or another.

Poof, it's sold out at SSC. Super surprised.

Well that sucks. Guess that means I'm finally posing Luke hanging upside down in the Wampa cave.
