Well, I fell in love again, and I'm pretty happy to have been able to find an available copy of a Christo Custom Tauntaun inspired by the first Star Wars Saga video game opus released in 2005 and made long before LEGO was released. decides to produce his version.
In fact, the LEGO version only appeared for the first time in 2009 in the set 7749 Echo Base and we find the creature in another set released this year: 7879 Hoth Echo Base.
To be honest, even if the version of Christo, which must however be put in its temporal context, is not so cartoon than the LEGO model, it represents in my eyes the fruit of an incredible effort of creativity and know-how.
I have never hidden that I consider the customs of Christo (See his eBay store et CAB & Tiler's flickr gallery) as real artistic achievements that compete without problem with the official minifigs, and fill the gaps of LEGO especially with regard to super heroes.
For the anecdote, it is this Tauntaun Custom which was staged in Brickplumber's incredible Hoth diorama I told you about in February on Hoth Bricks. So I am very happy to be able to add this piece "HISTORY"to my collection.
Finally, to finish, Calin took a picture of hers and posted it on her flickr gallery. Definitely, this Tauntaun is still more in the LEGO spirit than the official version.
