Post by: Morgbug on March 23, 2007, 12:57 AM: Armless/Classic busts are probably all going to be a no for me. I was hoping for a real Tie Fighter bust in the more recent, less classic style. That one will tempt me.

Red Royal Guard bust - absolutely, very nice piece.

Blue royal guard - pass to you, Mr. PT.

Thanks for posting those though.

Post by: MetalJedi on March 23, 2007, 05:58 AM: I'll be picking up the Classics definately.

Post by: DarkKnight2k4 on March 23, 2007, 08:55 AM: The classics look interesting. I like the Tie and Boba... Not sure though. May have to see them first hand first.

Though Boba may be a given...

Post by: Brian on March 23, 2007, 09:50 AM: The classics line definitely has a nice pricepoint, and would be something I could afford - but I'm not sure yet. I like the actual mini busts better overall (despite the higher price), and for some reason the lack of arms thing has always kind of bothered me - not sure why. It would be a cheaper way to get some of this nice GG product though.

Post by: evenflow on March 23, 2007, 05:44 PM: I never liked the armless style for busts. Part of the reason why busts in general never interested me. I like the Royal Guard.

Post by: DarkKnight2k4 on March 26, 2007, 11:18 AM: I dont know. I will get the Boba.... BUt I will have to see, I like the Tie... But at around 3" tall without base I am hesitant.

Classics Bust Information
Since posting our first 3 Star Wars Classics bust on our site last week, we've gotten a lot of questions on them. Hopefully I can clear up some of the confusion.

Classics Bust will be:
- Made out of resin
- Be limited edition pieces
- No announced edition size
- Have an Alpha-numeric Serial Number
- Come with a COA
- In general will be released in waves/series of 3

- The use of the Alpha-numeric serial number system, will currently only be used for the Classics bust line. Regular mini busts will still have set edition sizes and be numbered as before.
- We will still be producing our regular mini bust line - That line is not going away!
- Just because a character is being produced in the Classics bust line does not mean it will never be produced in the regular mini bust line and the same goes for the other way around.

Thanks-
Amanda

UPDATE - Some of you wanted to see the size scale of the Classics
So here is an image for comparison - Boba Fett Bust-Up, Boba Fett Classics Bust, Boba Fett mini bust

Post by: JayDouble on March 29, 2007, 01:22 PM: Good pic comparison.

With seeing how small they are, I think I will be getting them. I believe the price will be cheaper than $30 on the open market too.

Post by: Rob on March 29, 2007, 02:50 PM: I guess it will all depend on the edition sizes.
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: Morgbug on March 29, 2007, 03:11 PM: Thanks Mr. Jeff. That picture makes my decision pretty easy - pass.
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: Deanna Rash on March 29, 2007, 03:28 PM: It would depend on who they release for me.I'm slowly running out of room,But they are very nice despite the price 8)
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: Hemish on March 29, 2007, 07:30 PM: The no arm thing will make me pass, its why I didnt bother with the regular busts when they started and its an easy pass, although I wish they would hurry up and release that Tie pilot mini bust.

Post by: JayDouble on December 4, 2007, 01:29 AM: Anyone jump on this line?
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: MetalJedi on December 4, 2007, 03:21 AM: I picked up the Fett one I think thats all I'm going to get.
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: evenflow on August 25, 2008, 06:00 PM: Ordered the Bronze Fett today.
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: SITHSPAWN on August 28, 2008, 05:46 PM: Mine should be arriving any day now. I'm a little surprised they are still up. I'm guessing a run of 1000 will make sure everybody who wants one will get it though.
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: Chris Wyman on September 4, 2008, 11:26 PM: This line has been cancelled. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the PG Membership Clone Trooper that was scheduled to be released with the kit.
Title: Re: Gentle Giant Classics Busts
Post by: evenflow on September 5, 2008, 08:22 AM: Doesnt surprise me if it is canceled. Busts without arms have always looked odd to me.

That's why I never got into the GG busts at first. I din't like the look of them when I first saw them.
