So I need to ask what's up with Gentle Giant and the Star Wars mini-bust line?  Sure, there's a CJ exclusive, but what else?  There doesn't seem to have been much mention of anything since the Tie Pilot and really wasn't much before that.  It's been nice in the sense I haven't been laying out any cash but is there any life left in this line?  No mention of a SDCC exclusive?  Nothing at any of the major comic cons or other events except the Qui-Gon. 



I've been wondering the same thing.  It seems there are a number of things left that could be done.  After the tie pilot, the at-at driver seems an easy one for them to do.  But you know what's REALLY missing?  Wait for it Brent...

...Ewoks!!!

How can they have not done an Ewok yet?  Or at least Wicket?  ;D

Actually there are a few characters I would love to see.  Squid head, ree yees and hammerhead would be pretty cool to see.  I would also like to see an ESB Lando.  Plus I'm still waiting for farmboy Luke.

Hopefully the line has some life left for new (OT) stuff.

Gentle Giant Airborne Trooper Mini Bust Unveiled

From the website:

A shared exclusive with Gentle Giant, this stunning new mini bust of one of the coolest-looking clones to see action during the Utapau battle of Episode III will be on display in one of StarWarsShop's glass display cases. Available in a limited edition of just 2,000 pieces worldwide, keep a lookout for this piece on StarWarsShop's web site either at, or soon after, the show.

Great looking bust for sure!

SHHHHHH!!!!

IF they put out Ewok busts, my wife will me me buy them.   But seriously an Ewok piece simolar to the Jawa one makes a lot of sense.

I want them to go a solid year without making any clone busts.

Yeah, that trooper is pretty awesome.  I've stuck with only OT busts, but that's pretty nice.

I wonder if an AT-AT driver can be far behind?

From all the pics I've seen from SDCC, I'm going to be so broke this year.

SDCC exclusives (Anakin minibust, Harry Potter minibusts, Customz, etc.) are all up for PG members now.  I didn't like much of anything from SDCC so only ordered the blind packed Indiana Jones artifact (again).  General/open ordering for non-PG members starts on Saturday I believe.

The Celebration Japan Exclusive Holographic Qui-Gon Jinn and the Forbidden Planet Exclusive Galactic Marine are both going to be offered up to PG members.  :)

Yay.  I'll get the Marine, but not the Qui-Gon probably.
