Star Wars Gentle Giant 12"

[SeattleEd]

Love this line.
Currently have just three now from four. Sold the Stormtrooper on ESB card.
Just have Death Squad Commander, Vinyl Cape Jawa and ESB Boba. Plan on picking up another Boba on the SW card. Pre-Ordered Greedo and I plan on pre-ordering Hammerhead, Walrusman. I heard rumors of Snaggletooth being delayed due to retooling as well for a Blue Snaggletooth exclusive. Not sure if it's true or not but I'm hoping so.

Only disappointment was that the lightsabers were not double telescope but other than that, I like them. I too have them up on the wall and also see them as works of art, since they are and so do my guests when they come over.

I was debating on scoring another Death Squad Command, getting a C3-PO and getting a third Boba so as to create a kit-bash Boba Fett with firing missle. That would be killer on a custom card.

if they're doing the Cantina Aliens, I'll be all over them. How do I pre-order? are these Super7?

[SeattleEd]

They are Gentle Giant. Super7 does the Shogun releases. I hear Vader and Boba are up next.

Wow! In toy shows here, you are lucky to get them at $90. That's it, I'm moving to the US. Anybody have a room I can rent? (PS: I'll need room for my GG Star Wars figures, of course...)

You could move to the US, but then you'd have to cross the border into Canada to get them at that price.

I was excited about these until I found out how much they would cost. For that kinda money I would rather have the actual 12''ers.

It's really nice to get on a forum where no one is b**ching about how they're not absolutely perfect.

It would be unrealistic to expect them to be perfect. Their original small versions weren't either. So the imperfections will only be more obvious as they get bigger.
To me it's just a fun and nostalgic idea, which is the whole attraction.
The only thing that has kept me for buying them here are the inflated prices. And for some odd reason, prices in the UK are totally through the roof. I've seen them offered at $200, even the regular ones.

Check this one out!

[Gorn Captain]

That thing is going to weigh a ton!

Nah, these are hollow vinyl.

Newest one announced is Luke in X Wing Pilot outfit. Check out the picture on Gentle Giant's facebook page.

[SeattleEd]

Thanks for the heads up. Apparently it was knocked to the bottom of my FB feed.

Ehhh, should have just skipped right over this baby like it never existed. Kind of a letdown after those Cantina Aliens.

[mizzoujedi]

Really? He was one of my favorites because he actually held his pistol!

There's really not much of a "loose" market for these, eh?

Must be because of a combo of very limited runs and very practical collector
packaging that doesn't get thrown away.

I had been banking on lower secondary "loose figure" price points on ebay.
