Grand Admiral Thrawn Mini Bust

 

It doesn’t take long for the Imperial Forces to react after the disastrous and devastating loss at the Battle of Endor. With the Emperor gone, many would-be “heirs” attempt to stake their claim. However, they only manage to accomplish fracturing the remnants of the Imperial Fleet into dozens of small factions under various self-styled warlords. As chronicled in Timothy Zahn’s epic trilogy of novels, the most powerful warlord, Grand Admiral Thrawn, quickly rises to the top and becomes the greatest threat to the fledgling New Republic.

 

Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you one of the most infamous characters in the Star Wars Expanded Universe – Grand Admiral Thrawn! Featuring ice-blue skin complemented by his Imperial Dress Whites, the Grand Admiral Thrawn mini bust exudes calculated menace. Of course, no Thrawn piece would be complete without including his pet Ysalamir, the perfect defense against any Jedi. Hand crafted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd, each limited edition bust comes individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity

Boba Fett First Shot Kenner PGM 2013 Gift

One of the "Holy Grails" of the toy collecting world is the incredibly rare and hard-to-find Rocket Firing Boba Fett figure prototype. The only evidence of "what could have been," the original Boba Fett figure was never released with its rocket firing feature due to safety concerns. No finished versions of the functional figure are known to exist, and only a few of the original one-color injection-molded figures prototypes have ever been seen outside of the Kenner factory. These pieces are highly sought-after by collectors and have fetched incredible prices on the secondary markets. In honor of this legendary piece of toy lore, we have scanned an original Boba Fett action figure, reengineerd the J-slot firing mechanism, resized it to our Jumbo scale and added it to our unbelievably popular Kenner line! Rendered in the original unfinished blue state, this unique collectable is the perfect companion piece to your finished Rocket Firing Boba Fett, or an exciting way to start your brand new collection! Featuring replica red missile and black blaster accessories, no details has been overlooked. Injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure comes fully articulated and includes real rocket-firing action! That’s not all, this prototype Kenner creation comes packaged on a half-sized re-closable blister card, sealed inside a transparent polybag featuring the Kenner logo!

"Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design."

Once a respected Senator of the Republic, the man who would be Emperor embraced the Dark Side of the Force in order to gain untold power. After declaring himself Emperor and dissolving the Republic, Palpatine began a reign of terror that spread evil throughout the universe. Only the combined efforts of the Rebel Alliance and the Jedi Order, now reborn in Luke Skywalker, were able to overthrow the Emperor and end his tyranny.

No collection is complete without the true embodiment of the Dark Side. Hand crafted using the highest quality polystone, Gentle Giant is proud to bring you the Emperor Palpatine Mini Bust. Rendered here as he appeared in Return of the Jedi, no detail was overlooked in the creation of this bust. Individually numbered and hand painted, these limited edition mini busts include a matching certificate of authenticity. Embrace the Dark Side. It is unavoidable. It is your destiny.

EE Exclusive Scout Trooper Ewok Attack Maquette

Posted at Entertainmentearth.com:

Quick, to your speeder bikes! Inspired by events seen in Return of the Jedi, an Imperial Scout Trooper appears here in this roughly 10-inch tall animated style resin statue, on the run from the locals. The highly-trained, specialized, and focused troopers are generally left to their own devices except when the locals decide to take back the forest. While the troopers have guns, the Ewoks have the numbers needed to "axe" the Empire to vacate the area surrounding Bright Tree Village. This unique take on the final battles of the Star Wars saga with the kind of action befitting the destruction of massive intergalactic governing body. The Scout Trooper is armed with a blaster and his wits, while the three Ewoks attack with axes and the kind of rage you'll only find in the woods. Measures about 10-inches tall. Limited edition of 1,200 pieces.
