Nice. Just when I was about to sell some stuff, they suck me back in...

my guess is tauntaun 1/6 I remember reading somewhere bout a hoth luke and han 1/6 release so tauntaun would be logical

It looks like the saddle bag on a taun taun! That means Hoth luke or Han!

I honestly have no idea. A Rebel Trooper sounds cool to me!

I'd take anything Hothright now. A Hoth trooper is a must with the recent releases of the snowtrooper and E-Web. A 3-pack much like the Endor set they offered would be an instant seller for me.

My guess what you are looking at is the saddle of a Tauntaun. The question is whether it's 1/6th or 1/4th. My guess is 1/6th.

Best pic I can find of a Tauntaun saddle:

Here's a link to a photo of the stop-motion Luke on tauntaun used in the film. It looks like the same bag to me.

EDIT: Here's the photo.

How big would a 1/6th Tauntaun be? I'd like to get a probe droid and a Landspeeder one day, so display space could be tricky.

Re: SSC Hoth Rebel Troopers, or Han Solo or TaunTaun?

They're 1.3 to 2 meters tall at the shoulder, so that means big!

I don't know how accurate Hasbro's is, but this might give you an idea.

Here's some Luke and tauntaun photos.

Thanks! Hopefully the footprint will be about 2/3rds of what the Dewbacks is.

Re: SSC Hoth Rebel Troopers, or Han Solo or TaunTaun?

Much smaller footprint, but it will need more headroom.

 

[FLOSI]

Re: SSC Hoth Rebel Troopers, or Han Solo or TaunTaun?

I don't think it will take that much more. The rider sits about the same height as the head of the Tauntaun, so like 20"?

I'll take Han and Luke with tauntauns, but for the love of beer and teats, can we please have a Hoth Rebel???

Threads merged just to show how long we've been waiting for this.

Well, we know a Luke or Han are on the way... Which would you guys want first? Hoth Han was one of my very favorite figures as a kid, so I'd want him.... Blue coat EX????

Re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun (in development)

Blue coat or FAIL.

How are they going to handle an ESB Luke with HT's offering out there? Maybe they'll just sell an empty outfit and accessory set.

Definite buy for me.

You can see the pouch in this pic.
