What is the Status of the Star Wars Bust Ups Line? Will Star Wars Mini Busts get
Light Up Lightsabers in 2008? Anymore 1/4 Scale Statues on the way in 2008? Are
the Halo Mini Busts Delayed Again? Will we see the R2-D2 Statue Again? Is the
POTC Maquette line 100% done?

Gentle Giant Rumor and News!
There is a new rumor running around the message boards
that in May 2008, we will be seeing 2 new Mini Busts from Gentle Giant. Both
Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura have been rumored to be the next mini busts we see up
for pre-sale at our favorite online stores.
At this point, it is just a rumor but fans have been
begging for these two for quite some time (Both are in the
Top 10 Most Wanted Busts) so hopefully the
rumor is true.
Also, the official site posted that the Jawas mini bust
2-pack will be shipping out to retailers and distributors this week.

It's hard to believe it has been a year since we
first went online but on September 22, 2007, Gentle Giant Collectors.com
will be a year old. Our slogan for this anniversary is ONE Company, ONE
Community, ONE Passion. We never though we would grow so much in only a
year's time. Thinking back just one year ago we had about 50 members and
just under 1000 posts on our message board, we now have over 4,000
members and over 148,000 posts and we are now your first stop for
collectors of everything Gentle Giant. We have also built up a massive
Image Guide of nearly every single item Gentle Giant Ltd has produced and
we add to it weekly. We have also started an automated Most Wanted List
and expanded our registry to include more of what collectors wanted. GGC
keeps moving forward with new and exciting projects as well.
So what are we going to do to celebrate this
milestone you ask? GGC is going to give away a ton of cool stuff to you!
With the help of our great sponsors, staff, moderators and Gentle Giant
Ltd. we have a great lineup of stuff to giveaway.

GGC's New Q&A with
Gentle Giant Ltd.
Amanda Burns from Gentle Giant Ltd.
was kind enough to again answer some great questions that the readers at
Yodasnews and Gentle Giant Collectors had about a broad spectrum of
products.
One of the burning questions collectors had was,
how the Tusken Raider Mini Bust will be interchangeable as the final
approved pictures has the sleeves are at different angles as well as the
angle of the head? If they will be jumping in on the Ralph McQuarrie
themed collectibles? Will we get an Emperor to go along with the Royal
Guard and Kneeling Vader statue? Will we ever see Anakin, Padme, Mace and
Obi-Wan from Episode 3?
All those questions, as well as, a few from the
new lines, Harry Potter and Alien can be found at the Gentle Giant
Collectors Message Boards by clicking the image below:
GentleGiantLtd.com
Updates!

Tusken Raider mini bust (click

Gentle Giant at the Baltimore Comic Con
The pre-orders at the
GG Booth were handled great. There was about a 20-40 minute wait
on Saturday if you got in line between 10 and 1, but by 2pm you
could walk up, get your pre-order and walk away. They had a line
with a BCC rep. working it. The 2 reps working the booth were
very nice; they checked ID, bagged up your items and you went on
your way. Gus from Gentle Giant :Ltd. was there to represent GG.
He was very friendly and answered questions for us and many
others. It is always fun to chat with GG. They had enough there
on Saturday to handle all of the pre-orders if need be, so even
if all the pre-orders showed up on Saturday, they could get it
filled. The 2 display cases were all things we've seen before
like the Clone Commanders, Classics, Harry Potter and a small
sampling of what Gentle Giant Ltd sell.
As far as the BCC booth
for Show Exclusives, Gentle Giant did not run as they announced
beforehand, it was run by the BCC staff. It was one booth called
"Show Exclusives" and all of them were sold there (comics, cups
and GG Items). BCC handled how it ran. They sold 150 on Saturday
(First Come First Serve) but they did say 1 per person. Around
10:35am they went on sale and the first 150 people in line got
them. Honestly, I saw a lot of collectors in line and those that
lined up early got one. The rumors that people had a case of
them is false. As they sold them, they were tossing the empty
boxes away, people were asking if they could have them to carry
items in and many people grabbed them and used them to carry
around con goodies. That is not to say some people did not go
with groups to get several, but no cases of them were sold. They
were one per person and were cash only. The line had over 500
people by 10:45am and by 11am they were sold out.. The 100 or so
that were left for Sunday (I saw 12 sealed cases left so I would
think 96 were technically left), could be bought if you got a
ticket in line and not first come first serve. You can check out
a few pictures by clicking below and also
click here to see a very rough First Look of Bacara; that we
shot in the Hotel room Saturday night.

The Quest For The One Ring Continues...
"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring
them all, and in the darkness bind them!"
Inserted into the secret compartment in the below Ringbearer mini busts lies
Noble Collection's "The
One Ring - Sterling Edition". The One Ring is
cast in sterling silver and richly plated in pure gold, featuring the
inscription above in Elvish, an ancient language of Middle-Earth. This
inscription is amazingly etched in full circle onto the inside and outside of
the ring.
With 100 more rings, 100 more lucky members of
the Fellowship will win. We wish you well on your quest!
Glorfindel Ringbearer mini bust - 1/25 chance
Elrond Ringbearer mini bust - 1/125 chance
Frodo in Orc Armor Ringbearer mini bust - 1/100 chance
Sam in Orc Armor Ringbearer mini bust 1/100 chance
Did you miss the Lego Maquettes?
For Hyperspace members who may have
missed their chance to snag one of the cool Darth Vader or Stormtrooper LEGO
maquettes offered last year exclusively at StarWarsShop, you might want to hang
around your computer this holiday weekend. Starting August 30, StarWarsShop will
be reposting the Vader and Stormtrooper maquettes exclusively for Hyperspace
members for a limited time.
Where did these extra maquettes come
from, you ask, since the original edition was sold out months ago? Good
question. As it happens, a percentage of the original 1,000 units were set aside
for promotional purposes -- you know, contest give-aways and gifts to
distributors, that kind of thing. Well, in response to repeated customer
inquiries and the new line's increasing demand, StarWarsShop has secured these
remaining units exclusively for its Hyperspace customers.
Sculpted by the artisans at Gentle Giant Studios,
these Lucasfilm-branded maquettes feature interchangeable heads and a removable
LEGO Star Wars plaque (both held fast magnetically). There is also the chance
you'll receive an edition that includes a rare chase head -- Anakin for Vader
and Han for Stormtrooper -- that are randomly inserted into some of the figure
packages!
Hyperspace members will get an exclusive purchasing
window open to them August 30 through September 4 -- after which, any remaining
units will be made available to the general public. There will be a limit of
three per customer.

The SDCC cheat
sheet for the Gentle Giant Fan:
So what all did Gentle Giant bring to the table?
Up first is the coveted Star Wars line:
Count Dooku and Asaaj Ventress statue - The two are in an immortal pose that was
first seen on the cover of Star Wars Insider. Though not painted yet the
possibilities for this statue are boundless.
Emperor Sidious Animated Maquette - Another unpainted product that shows off the
Grade A skills of the sculptors of Gentle Giant. Arriving Spring 08 with an MSRP
of $80.
Han Solo Statue - Though Han has been known about since Toyfair 07 - no painted
view was seen of him outside the GG offices. Han is fierce and sure to be a fan
favorite.
AT-TE Accessory Pack - Again another heard of product that is featured at SDCC.
Star Wars Chess Set - Quite a beautiful set that may find collectors taking up
playing Chess or may find this board never used.
R2D2 Statue - though seen before - It has been discovered that this "old friend"
comes with accessories.
Indiana Jones:
A nice surprise for all Indy fans as we find Gentle Giant with this license.
The featured items are:
Indiana Jones Bronze Bust - Indy immortalized forever in bronze. Can any lover
of Indy ask for more?
Indiana Jones on Horse Statue - Though unpainted, this statue will be a must for
Indy collectors.
Indiana Jones with bike and Henry Jones - No fan of the Last Crusade would dare
resist this statue.
Halo 3:
Halo 3 Master Chief Mini-bust - Finally able to see these mini-busts - video
game fans everywhere can rejoice.
Halo 3 Master Chief statue - Gentle Giant decides that a mini-bust is not enough
for fans at all but is it a statue or a figure?
Pirates of the Carribean:
A continuance of their maquette line we see:
Will Turner - Now you can have Will with Elizabeth forever.
Barbossa - No POTC collection is ever complete without him. Though seen only
unpainted - the quality of this piece shines through.
Harry Potter:
It could be said this is the summer
of Potter. Gentle Giant does not disappoint by any means:
Nymphadora Tonks - Though previously seen - we did not know that her hair color
was to be purple. I am sure all fans of HP did a collective sigh of relief to
see Tonks with colored hair.
Voldemort statue - Well it is a statue per se - but the clothing/robes on him
are not all sculpted resin- but include fabric itself. . This is sure to be a
sell out!
Harry Potter statue - appears to be
in the same 1/4 Scale as Voldemorts complete with mixed media format.
Bust-ups - Going full steam with this line, Gentle Giant previews Deatheaters
and more!
Harry on Threstral statue - On display and looking wonderful. This statue will
be another fan favorite.

collectibles and see photos of some of the items mentioned above at Yodanews.com

GG Debuts LOTR
Classics Line and new HP Statue
As the shadow of Sauron
falls across Middle-Earth, heroes rise to heed the call to fend
off the evil that plagues the land! Produced by Gentle Giant,
these limited edition bust renditions of the beautiful and strong
Éowyn (Mirando Otto), the Dwarf, Gimli (John-Rhys Davies), and the
valiant elven ranger Legolas (Orlando Bloom):
Chat about them here!
No mere winged horse,
the Thestrals are black and skeletal in appearance, with
protruding bones, leathery wings, blank white eyes and a dragonish
face. Few have ever seen a Thestral, as Thestrals are visible only
to those who have seen death. But you can see a Thestral — as seen
in the hit film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...
