I have to say the folks at Gentle Giant Studios always have cool statues and busts so, whenever I get word of new releases, I’m always quick to share the goodness. November is no different and there’s something for fans of just about all things SF and Fantasy! I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed I’ve been good enough for Santa to leave one or more of these in my stocking this year!
From Gentle Giant:
Hi everyone!
Happy (early) Thanksgiving! I hope this finds you well. We’ve got some really exciting new pieces available for pre-order this month.
After being the buzz of both this year’s San Diego Comic Con and Star Wars Celebration VI, we’re proud to officially bring you two of the biggest statues we’ve ever produced: our Darth Maul Spider Statue and our Sandtrooper on Dewback Animated Maquette. Both of these highly anticipated items are guaranteed to be the centerpieces of any collection. The Darth Maul Spider Statue is a unique piece because although it is inspired by the Clone Wars Animated Series version of the infamous Sith apprentice, we’ve rendered this piece in a realistic style. The Sandtrooper on Dewback is the latest piece in our Animated Maquette series, and represents our continued commitment to bringing one of the greatest sagas of all time to fans in new and exciting ways.
Speaking of large pieces, did you just hear that? That’s the sound of our Hulk Avengers Movie Mini Bust landing. This piece is a “mini” bust in name only. The perfect companion piece to our Thor, Captain America and Iron Man Movie Mini Busts, no collector’s team will be complete without it.
Rounding out this month’s solicitations are two pieces that are guaranteed to excite collectors. We finish off the Jabba’s Palace Band sub-series of Mini Busts with Max Rebo, the cornerstone of the band. This bust comes with a unique red ball organ-inspired base and is sure to look fantastic in any display. Also, we continue our line of Battle Droids with the OOM Pilot Droid Mini Bust. This blue-accented battle droid fits right in with our Battle Droid Mini Bust and our forthcoming Security Droid Mini Bust. Like its predecessors, this piece comes with a sound chip embedded in the base.
