I've gotta pick the Bossk bust as the best one so far.  The detailing on him is just incredible.

The Han helmet is a bit too small to fit over his huge noggin. Which is okay, since I already have 5 troops sitting on the shelf, and is his helmet fit I would be tempted to put it on him and sit him with the rest. But his arm would look really goofy if it wasn't holding that helmet.

As for the best GG bust done so far? I would have to say Boba Fett is the coolest one. Even though he is my favorite character, the pose and detail on him is just amazing.

One of those gold and silver Sandtroopers went for $1550US on eBay - A steal of a deal!   :(

Hmmmm.... I wonder if I could trade my Hasbro Press Kit for one of them gold & silver Sandtrooper busts?

If anyone still needs a Chome Jango SWS has them in stock again.  I just picked one up since I hadn't gotten a chance the last time around.

I'm looking for a picture of the C3P0 bust with some of the others.  From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the 3p0 bust is proportioned a bit differently, so I'm curious to see it with others.  If anyone can post something it would be appreciated.

No pics from anyone?

Anyhow, I just got the latest GG update with links to the sandtrooper busts, and the new han solo bust.  Wow!!!  I'm REALLY impressed with the Han Solo bust.  I had planned on sticking to the various imperial trooper busts, but I may have to get the Han.

How's this for starters:

Gentle Giant C3 Exclusive:



ANH Han Solo:

 

This may be the first GG bust I actually buy (if I'm lucky enough to pick one up while I'm at C3 that is  :-\).

Yep, sweet update there on the Sandtrooper and Han busts (which we just mentioned on our news page here).  Little worried about the C3 exclusive, but hopefully that goes smoothly, and the wait for it isn't too long.

Definitely a nice mix on the Sandtroopers there.  They'll look very cool together, I think.  The Han's got a pretty accurate face, but I'm not really sure how much I love the pose, with his gun behind his head like that...

I think Drew was shooting for the C-3PO group picture he had inquired about...   ;)

Here's another shot of the Orange bust, with his heavy assault rifle:



They've even got a lefty pose as well!

Hey Drew, does this shot help?



Not too close up, but it's the only one I could find (off GG's site)...

Cool news! I will be on a mission this Summer to keep my collection complete, the C3 exclusive  should be easy to get.  :)Bet one of the other troopers ends up a SDCC exclusive.

Congrats, Kevin! Welcome to a whole new world!

I wonder if they'll be selling this at the Gentle Giant booth, or in the C3 store?
