Yes it is an incredible piece. I love it!

I would not hesitate getting it if you have been thinking about it already!

Rise from your grave!

I just picked this piece up from an Ebay seller pretty damn cheap, but unfortunately, it was damaged during shipping. I'm seeing if the guy can do anything for me. It's a lot more fragile than I anticipated, although definitely less than the SS piece.

For those that have the piece, is the green lightsaber supposed to be slightly bent ala Count Dooku? Also, are his arms pretty weak to the point that you could easily break them? There's a little more play in the arms then I would have liked, not to the point that you can pose him obviously, but they just seem wobbly.

Awesome piece otherwise. I'm glad I took the plunge on this one.

yeah, mine was slightly broke, but i only paid about £40 so i didn't mind as you can't really tell, just a piece of the arm guards? snapped off and lost

there should be no bend in either saber. the arms shouldn't be wobbly, although they are very fragile.

It is a fantastic statue.

There should be no bends on the saber or hilt, and although the arms are fragile, they should not droop etc.

ALWAYS handle this statue from the BASE ONLY- never from any other part of the statue- this is explicitly stated in the paper insert that comes with this statue.

Congrats on the purchase!

Ugh, my light sabers are definitely messed up then. The one is definitely bent somehow, and the other snapped. I have to take pictures for the seller, but I'll post here if I remember.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

When I received my Grievous, one of the sabers was bent at the hilt...I carefully bent it back correctly...no issues...it did not feel like resin but more like metal...not sure though.

Any special technique to bending it back? Did you use a blowdryer to heat it up a little, or did you just apply some gentle pressure?

I would recommend putting this saber hilt concern in the "Ask Attakus" thread- see if Stephane can get an answer for you- or try to contact them directly to see if a replacement saber can be purchased.
