Best 1/6 (12") stormtrooper statue?

Hi all!

Not really a prop question, but...

What's considered to be the most accurate/authentic 1/6 stormtrooper statue? I'm asking because I recently noticed the one seen here on the desk in the background:

Can anyone identify it? I thought it looked pretty good!

Thoughts?
 
That is not a statue, it is the Disney Talking Stormtrooper. Pretty cool for its price and size. I think I own most licensed Stormie statues and figures out there (higher end versions).

Sideshow's 1:4 Premium Format is impressive due to big size, but that is it. It is a sharp statue made with shiny polystone, but it lacks accuracy on quite many points, the helmet being the main issue. It also comes with a weird short back leg pose.

The Attakus 1:5 is nice and impressive, cool standing pose, but is a combo of ROTJ and ANH, not too accurate. Helmet and armor has its issues.

The Gentle Giant 1:6 statue is very nice, but instead of using the more accurate helmet sculpt from the Stormie mini-bust, GG used a new sad face sculpt.

Kotobukiya made a 1:6 Stormtrooper/Luke in Stormie disguise, not bad regarding accuracy, but it has one of weirdest and stupidest poses ever, looks like a damsel in distress...

As for figures, the Marmit 1:6 one is the best regarding accuracy. It looks like a miniature guy dressed up in armor. It comes as a kit you need to assemble. There are fans who upgraded it with HT bodies and they are stunning.

Sideshow's 1:6 Stormtrooper asks huge prices recently but its helmet has some accuracy issues easily seen even by a less trained eye. The body is also quite floppy. Though in the end a nice figure.

Medicom also made a Stormie, it is closer to 1:7, but quite ok. Better stance than Sideshow version, but looks a bit tiny compared to other figures/statues.

I've always been partial to the Marmit. They just look so great especially next to the sideshow. If your after a 1/6 stormy you can't go wrong with it I promise you. Their sandy is great too. As is all their star wars stuff. :)

That's really bizarre- just bought this figure from the Disney store, yesterday. Very impressive.
Doesn't really hold up to the more accurate statues out there, but for £20, it's great (they also do several other nice figures as well). Comes with 15 phrases and accurate blaster sounds, and in all fairness, for a 'toy' it looks pretty good and is well proportioned- plus some articulation.
Nice little addition- get one!
