Sideshow Tauntaun review

[Michael Crawford]

So you've ordered your Hoth Han and Hoth Luke...but who wants them to just stand around, looking all over dressed? That's where Sideshow's sixth scale Tauntaun comes in, the perfect addition to the Hoth diorama! I have my review up tonight here:

Star Wars Tauntaun 1/6 figure statue - Another Pop Culture Collectible Review by Michael Crawford, Captain Toy

or with the rest of the reviews at the usual:

Michael Crawford's Review of the Week - the number one source for action figure, toy and pop culture reviews!

Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!

Nice review!

If you can find him for $250 at Sideshow though, you gotta get me two.

Whoopsie - typo! Thanks for catching that!

Great review. Can't wait to receive mine.

I have my Tauntaun, and I agree with pretty much everything said in the review- but I would add this:
Because it's a non-articulated figure, it would have been nicer if they sculpted a standing-still pose, rather than a striding in-motion pose. I think it would look better with Luke on its back if they both had the appearance that they had just come to a stop to take a look around... "What's the matter girl, you smell something?"

Great review Michael and the photos are always a good view.
This one's on my list for sure...

Still have to get one of these. Waiting for a sale or double/triple RP. And why shipping is $49 for this is beyond me.

My shipping cost $48.20 and that's for two of them.

Advantage of being close to the source. Mine is US$113 for 1.

Good review. I especially like the Snowtrooper on the TT, you know they wanted to ride them when they took the base

Yes... Just one head ( no seam) and keep the interchangeable horns

Mine arrives tomorrow! Can not wait! Thanks for the review. I started collecting late and always checked your reviews on figures I was hunting for to see if it was worth the time. You have been spot on and thanks for the time you take reviewing. Much appreciated!

 

[Michael Crawford]

Great to hear that you've found them so useful - thanks!

Mike's reviews are an extremely useful archive.. sadly I do not have space for my Dewback, and a Tauntaun.. but it sure looks awesome!

I'm jealous. I missed out on the Dewback, so I'm getting this instead.

I wound up paying more than SS retail for my Dewback.. delayed buying it direct, several times and then it sold out.. although after shipping and taxes probably not a huge difference in cost, plus I got to check the figure and collect in person.. If you ever get the chance to snag a Dewback in the future, I don't think you would be disappointed.. however the Tauntaun is also awesome, so congratulations on getting one.

Thanks. The Tauntaun looks excellent; I can't wait to add it to my collection.
