Here we go again!
Buddy of mine has a couple of these for sale and I am getting one at a very reasonable price so I must go for it. It should be arriving shortly.

Now that I am getting this statue added to my collection, I would again love to hear peoples thoughts on this piece and for members to share their personal pics of the statue!

What are you opinions on this statue? Which one do you prefer when compared to the Sandtrooper Sergeant?

When I get it, I will post pics of it and share my thoughts on it when it's in hand- in the mean time, let's hear what you think of it.

EDIT: FINALLY got this statue today!!
The paintjob is really amazing on this. Much "dirtier" than the Sergeant statue which gives it a more "real feel". The cloth strap is a nice addition to the hand cannon he carries (which is very cool). Having both in hand, it is REALLY hard to say which I like better ...but I can say this: they look great posed together! This and the Sergeant compliment each other nicely

Here are a few pics of mine, the rest are here, starting from post #9 to #12:

It is an awsome statue, one of the better Attakus statues imho, awesome paintjob, you will not be disapointed getting this.
It was the statue that got me into collecting Attakus statues.

I prefer the Sergeant over this one because I like the sergeant's pose better.

Here's an crappy pic of mine when I recieved it, it is now in its box again waiting to be properly displayed.

Sweet thanks

I have not recieved this in hand, but very eager!
Anyone else care to share their thoughts on this piece and share their pics?

I have both and actually prefer it over the sargeant.

Yeah I will have to decide once I have it in hand. The pose is more dynamic, but alot of ppl have an issue with the "tilted" head.
Personally I like the colour of the pauldron and the cool gun with the cloth strap!

They're both great statues and look perfect displayed next to each other. I prefer the more neutral pose of the Sergeant myself but the Squad Leader has some nice touches to him. Particularly his grenade launcher. If you own one statue you owe it to yourself to own the other. You won't be disappointed.

IS THE TROOPER HOLDING THE WEAPON THE WRONG WAY ROUND OR IS HE A LEFT-HANDER? ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS OBSERVATION?

I would guess that the rifle is in the wrong hand configuration, as the clip holsters are on the upper left arm. Those would make it awfully hard to line up a shot tilting your head in that direction and using the left shoulder as a brace.

Of course... we could just be getting into too much detail about a fictional character.
