..don't know,..,...same can be said about han solo clothes,... vader stitches on glove,..all of them you can see if you nose too much,....so won't bother me,.. ,anyway,..seems like the cape is the way to go 4 me,...i prefer much better,...grievous looks naked without the cape,...from the reactions i see,.. looks like most people like the cape version better,..and u can remove it once in a while,..can't beat that,.. :cool: try adding a cape if u don't have 1 to begin with..... :D :monkey5

The stitches on Vader's glove are complete and don't have any gaps like the GG cape. Not to mention, they are done so that it looks accurate to the real thing. With the SS GG cape, the diamond pattern is way too big, and the stitching, again, has gaps. Anyway, moot point since nothing can be done about it. It certainly wouldn't keep anyone from getting it if they wanted to display it with a cape (me included). But, the inner detail on the Attakus Grievous is flawless and how it should have been done on the SS GG. Other than that minor issue, the cape rocks and the statue rocks.

Looking forward to pics Anakin. :)
 
MR looking at the pics from SF. I don't see the problem you're having with the cape. The stitching looks fine and how I would expect it to look if taken to 1:1 scale actually.
 
Well, it's not hard to miss Josh.

Easy enough to see; but, again, not a HUGE deal. It still looks awesome. :)
 
I know there are small spaces between each grey line/dot but I think if you went and looked at the real thing it would match up. The Attakus one is pressed so it would be easier to do.
 
No, there is no real thing. The CG inner cape pattern had no spaces like the stitching, and the diamond shape was much smaller. The inner cape color, thread color, and cape length issues are easy to look over, but the stitching should have been done better. Considering the outstanding job SS did with Ben's robe and Vader's cape, GG's inner cape should have been a sinch. It's easy to see where SS really took there time with the statue looking at all the detail, and a little less time with the cape by skimping on the inner detail. Had they treated it a little more than just an accessory, it may have been done correctly. Other than that minor issue, the cape looks fantastic!
 
All I can tell you guys is, once you see this piece in person, you'll love it!! I can't stop looking at because it is so awesome. Just don't move it too much though, it's very fragile!!
 
Yeah, I've been reading, on multiple forums, how fragile this piece is. I don't plan on moving it once it is in its acrylic home though.

Congrats on getting yours carbo. Can't wait to get mine. :D

I feel so sorry for you Gambit!

I don't think it's a decision any of us can help you with. It depends on how much money you have to spend on these and how much they are worth to you. I doubt you'll find the Exclusive GG cheaper than $500, I've already seen him go for more than that. The regular will probably be available for around $350 or less.

Thanks DL and carbo fation for your comments
really appreciated

just like I do not have enough problem with the GG, this morning I receive an e-mail for the conversion of wait list of the Thing Bust to order

Now I got one more thing to consider :D

considering thing bust is limited to 150 pieces only, I probably will be cancelling GG at this time and go on with the thing bust

Hope I am making the correct decision :eek:
 
The Attakus one looks like a clone wars cartoon pose of Grievous...I think at the moment this is the best Pf ever done by Sideshow.But you gotta go with the exclusive..
 
I got him yesterday....big ole' box......whoohooo!

Have not had a chance to put him together yet :monkey2
 
I agree, kinda. I don't care for the pose on the Attakus either; but, they nailed the cape. There are also a few other things regarding the statue itself that I noticed in the online pics that seem off, but I'll wait to post my thoughts on that until I get mine. I hope it may just be the pics, unlike the cape where the flaws are so obvious.
 
HE JUST GOT DELIVERED :chew :chew

I wonder if I can milk my sore jaw to get out of work early and go home?

At least some good came out of this week after all.

There are ten times more of the Grievous pieces out there than the Thing Bust (and that's just the exclusive). I believe that Grievous will be easier to get later. Once all of the 150 Thing fans get their bust, he will pretty much dry up and stay in the hands of collectors. I don't think you made the wrong choice. (But I hope you get a Grievous one day!)

You know, this is a little off topic, but it kind of sounds like you have a little bit of the black plague. You really ought to leave work for your own safety and that of your coworkers, and maybe get that checked out...

And so you have officially beaten me in the Grievous race! I hope that mine ships before too long. Now that people have started posting their pics, I am getting even more excited to see mine...
 
It would seem if they had just used red thread instead of grey for the diamond pattern the cape would be more accurate. Of course it seems like the pattern probably goes through the back of the cape, so they had to use grey so it wouldn't show up on the outside.

I'm still eager to see it in person! And still don't have a place to put it...
 
Darth Loki said:
Congrats Tom. Maybe you'll get him tomorrow!

That would be very very very nice! I won't actually be home tomorrow (going to Universal Studios), but my wife will be able to sign for it if it does show up (she's not going to Universal Studios).

If it does ship tonight it should be here around this time tomorrow morning. If not, then I'm sure that it will ship early next week. Not too much longer to wait...

It looks like the mid-range numbers are out there, so the low ones are still up for grabs. I wonder what I will end up with... :rolleyes:

...Then my roommate's girlfriend came home soon after and I think she is more excited about the piece than I am.

I have a number of reasons why I collect Sideshow but using them to pick up chicks or wooo a friends girlfriend was never one of them!!! :horror :D

...She is talking about buying a light to somehow enhance his internal organs...

:rotfl I just can't. Someone else want to take this one? Bodie?
