Gentle Giant Mini-Busts

[DSJ™]

Yep, sure is. Now I just have to find a place to display him, maybe next to the McQuarrie Kuby's.

Love that McQuarrie Fett - mostly for the pose. 

My AT-AT Driver finally showed up today.

Both are great pick ups!

I actually got two of each. With a Veers in the works, I just had to have two AT-AT Drivers behind him. With two different helmets for Fett, how does one decide between the two?!

Started unpacking the mini-busts just now... holographic Darth Maul's head has completely turned yellow/green.  Beware if you're moving... 

[Jeff]

Weird...  think it was the packing material?  heat?  Have a pic to share?

[Morgbug]

Whoa, that's horrible.  Sorry to hear.

[Rob]

It's got to have been the heat.  It was packed in it's original box.  I'm unpacking the rest at the moment (fingers crossed) and haven't found any other problems so far.

I'll post a picture later in the evening once I'm finished.

[Chris Wyman]

Sorry to hear that, Rob. Hopefully that was the only one.

Here's what it looks like:



BUT, looking at the old collection photos I'm now thinking that this didn't happen during the move.  I guess it was always this way.  Here's the old collection photo from before the move:



You can see the difference in color from the head to the body.  




Do any of you guys have this particular bust?  And if you do, could you see if yours is goofy like that?

[Chris Wyman]

Just checked mine and it looks okay.

That sucks, not that it will help but try contact GG and see what they say.

[Rob]

Yeah,  I think that's what I'm going to do.  I PM'd vinylsquirrel at RS to see if she could help out at all... it'll probably lead to an email to Jewel.

Yak Face pre-orders through the Premiere Guild are up.

[Chris Wyman]

Got my pre-order in for the Yak Face. Can't wait to see this one in person.

Remind me why this should excite me please.  I mean it looks cool and is well done in standard GG style, so kudos to them on it.  I love the vintage figure and understand the significane of it.  I own the Kubrick version that is all sorts of wonderful because of that homage to the vintage era.  I even own the modern version that sort of sucks, but considering it is from POTF2 isn't all that bad. 

Is there a reason I'd want this given mostly I collect imperial stuff.  It's OT, that's a selling point.  But beyond that?
