The Gentle Giant Episode II C-3P0 mini bust that was shown at the summer conventions finally has a home. With a run of 2500 expected, the first 1500 will be available exclusively at the "Art of Star Wars Exhibition" in Singapore in November. Can't make it to Signapore? You're still in luck - 500 have been allocated to be sold in the UK and another 500 will be sold in the USA via an exclusive outlet (most likely StarWarsShop.com)!

Um.  Pass? 

It's nice in the sense that it's a (now) limited edition size but it really doesn't do much for me.  I guess it's a love of the OT, but 3PO is goldenrod, not dingy-gray-robot.

Thank God that's a Prequel bust so I can pass on it and not sweat the limited (and international) run there...

Still in the market for a cheap Greedo and Bossk, if anyone is ditching their's, or knows of a good bargain...  ;)

Looks like we have a fourth Chrome Bust -- C-3PO. 

"A rather surprised Rebelscum reader Keith Smith sends along this image of his new Chrome Edition C-3PO mini bust from MBNA. Keith received the bust in lieu of the chrome Jango Fett bust he had originally requested. While we've been able to confirm that this is indeed a genuine Gentle Giant piece, there’s still no word from MBNA regarding how they plan to distribute it."

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that one, Jay.  Unfortunately, this one is kinda OT, so I'll probably have to add it to the Vader and Stormie chrome busts.  Ugh.  :-\

Well what if it's a repaint of the E2 C-3PO?  ;)

Yeah, it's ok.  We already got a 3PO so this one is not one I GOTTA HAVE.  But it's actualy a valid repaint.  Prefer this over the chrome repaints.  I was blessed enough to get an order in at SWShop

Here's my updated collection of Gentle Giant Mini-busts:



Hopefully they'll release a new Boba Fett so that I can get one at an affordable price  ;)

The scariest thing that I've ever seen,
Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.
It's as big as a house on walking legs,
and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

I finally got my Leia bust from Toynk and it is fantastic.  I have her unmasked head on and she sit's next to MR's thermal detonator.  It is one sweet item.  It is the only one I have and wish I could have picked up a Luke.  Oh well...

I hope they make a better Padme, I'm not a big fan of the "no arm" look.  Anyone know of anything like that for 2006?
