I just saw those pictures on another forum along with the blue Tac Ops Clone bust and the orange Utaupaun Clone bust.  They look sweet!  This is going to be an expensive year for my Gentle Giant collection.  I just hope I can get ahold of whatever bust is exclusive to the cons.  Maybe a Shocktrooper?!?!

Oddly enough, I think the plain white one is my favorite.
Perhaps it's the pose.

Looks like GG is going to be getting A LOT of money out of me this year  ;D.
Can't wait to see the production numbers on those Clones... Hope we aren't going to see another fiasco like we have with the ranking Ep2 Clones  ::).

Those are nice.  Have I uttered anything about OT vs PT in this thread? :-X  I think not, just something about Imperials so I shouldn't be overly hypocritical in picking those up.  Can't get Qui-Gon, though it is nice.  That would be a dark path. 

I'd alter my strategy if they made this bust up into a bust though:

You know, the Qui Gon bust is so nice, that even the OT purists might want to pick it up.  Just for the glory of it.

I can't wait to see better pictures though, there's something "off" about those clones that I just can't put my finger on.  It's probably the white background, but they just don't look right to me.

Yeah that would be me.
My mini busts consist of only OT busts.
Qui Gon is done so well I need to have it, It will be my only one well maybe that and the white clone trooper , that looks good too :)
But no others !!

Hemish - Come over to the dark side.  How can you resist that ROTS Emperor bust coming soon?  And if you get the white clone, you just might want the others.  Better get them now before the secondary prices go up   ;D

Nah i'm sure it wont be a problem.
I told myself that I didnt want any PT busts when I started down this path and besides I still have a few pieces in that OT lot that I need to track down, so insteadd of the Sidious bust i'll jut chase down the Bossk,Tarkin,Boba Fett and c3 Sandtrooper that I need. So i have plenty of things to still spend my dollars on :)

They look kinda squished to me. I don't know if its the picture or not. But they do look good.
I remember my dream now.

Same impression - squished.  I'm sure the real product will be fine.

The more I look at them, the more they look like Bust-ups to me. Don't know why.

You forgot to mention , Chewbacca , Mara Jade and Grevious !!
There goes the collecting budget for this year.
I was so hoping to stay under what I spent last year, doesnt look like that is gonna happen now :(

What's up with the Qui-Gonn holo version?  A chase piece randomly inserted?

Chewbacca - I was hoping for one that fit in with the Stormtrooper versions of Luke/Han.  This looks like they lopped off the statue.  I can pass on it. 

Grievous actually looks pretty nice :-\

Mara Jade looks quite cool.
