Expensive toy.
dare I Ask how much it was?
I got one of these as well and I don't think it's nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. In fact, I'll be honest, I love it.

I played around a bit with the neck seal and pulled it up from the back to give the neck a slightly more natural angle and it seemed to help a bit. I think there's also an element of perspective at play. The fact that you, the viewer, is automatically looking up at it, therefore you're seeing up the helmet/neck a bit makes it look worse. I'm like, 5'9" to 5'10" and if I stand on my toes and am even with his eyesight line, it looks pretty accurate. Maybe I'm wrong! But that's how I see it. Don't forget, he's already pretty tall plus the base adds probably around 5 inches.
Yea, the cost is high but I'll tell you, I don't regret spending the money. I was looking at a post by a top notch Fett builder and I think his rate was around $12,000. So I can't really complain too much. I was lucky enough to get in on it during Sideshow's "introductory" price, too.

Honestly, I was ready to pull the trigger on Sideshow's statue when they unveiled the prototype because I thought it would be a lot easier than going the DIY route and I didn't mind paying a little extra for the convenience factor, but I just can't reward SS with my money when they cut so many corners on the finished piece. Art, Tom Spina and several guys from TDH gave Sideshow everything possible to reproduce a highly accurate Fett and SS did what they always do which is to farm production out to a factory in China where no QC measures are followed.
You can build your own Fett for about $3000 for all the parts, then find a someone to paint it for about $1000. But if your just into collecting and not building then this is good option.
