1/6th Scale Sideshow Tauntaun

I think, with all those cons you really don’t want to keep it... so please sell it to me [emoji6]

 

[Chakaman]

I agree. It does have some flaws, but I absolutely love mine.

I was finally able to get mine out of storage a few weeks ago and back on display.

 

[Mandible]

Agreed about the neck seam, but I find the left side seems more obvious that the right side, when displayed.

Either way - love mine and very happy to have it.

I never noticed the lack of snow effect so it doesn’t bother me.

The neck seam I just remember people posing it more forward so it’s not as noticeable. No remedy for that I can remember.

OK buddy. Thanks a lot.

I think one freak actually sculpted over the seam and did a repaint. Obviously can't swap out the head anymore.

I don't think I'll be doing that, but thanks for the input anyway!!

You can criticize and still love something.

Yeah that neck seam - you have to wonder why they went with a straight seam, and why it couldnt have had a thin/ragged rim of sculpted fur that overhung the join a bit to hide it.

One other con (also visible in the pic above) is the "blowing out birthday candles" look to the face/mouth sculpt on one of the heads...

1+ for that ugly seam.

I dunno reagarding the face. I actually like it a lot.

Hey! That's true!!! Thank you!!

Where did you get that poster? its pretty awesome.

 

[BoosterGold06]

I finally tracked one of these down, but the brown satchel that holds the binoculars was missing. Not a huge deal I guess. Now I need to find a dewback...

 

[jedijim3002]

Looks great! I need a dewback too

 

[LoveMinusZero]

This is one of those things, like the full Cantina Band, that seems like I'm just never destined to own.

 

[evenflow]

same here

 

[Chakaman]

Congrats. Nice pick up!

Thank you. Sorry I missed your comment. I picked it up at a local comic con a year ago. Jim Mehsling is the artist. I'm pretty sure he sells them online too.

I missed out on this taun taun, arc fives and arc echo and the dewback. If anyone wants to part with their Taun Taun (or any of the others mentioned!!!) please dont hesitate to contact me.

Nice pickup! It really is a great piece. This and the Dewback are real talking points of my display.[emoji846]

So, would it be fair to pay twice the retail price for this? ...wonder what it would cost if it was reissued?

Did you do anything to the Luke, He looks WAY better than the stock SS.

Not a thing. Maybe it’s because I covered the face sculpt, ha ha.

I would have paid €650 but in the end I was lucky to get a loose one for €350

Nice find...it's one piece i regret not picking up when i had the chance....
Maybe one day SS will reissue it.

 

[jedijim3002]

It is definitely the centerpiece of my collection. Love this thing. Catches my eye every time I walk by my display room. I hope to get the Dewback some day but funds keep holding me back.

Not a great picture but I thought I’d share anyway.

 

[slikkerias]

Finally got this beauty. It was costly, but it’s no doubt worth it.
Luke’s ‘flask’ was missing, but the seller is giving me a €50 refund because of that, so I guess that’s fair. I might repaint the black one to make it correct for Luke.
