GGC Price Guides May Update!
Our Price
Guides have been updated for the month of May.
There has been a decent amount of fluctuation from the last update. For
new readers to our site, we process our Guides manually to ensure they are
accurate. The Price Guide team looks at completed ebay auctions, ebay
stores, online retailers who sell in the secondary market, yahoo
auctions as well as other places on the web. Our very popular Image Guides are
also now integrated into the section.
Some notable items on the rise are the Star Wars
BlackHole Stromtrooper Mini Bust, the AOTC Clone Trooper Mini Bust and
the ANH Vader Mini Bust. From the Star Wars Statue Line the Cantina Bookends
and the Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike top big jumps. On the other hand, the
Jango Fett Chrome Mini Bust, the Yoda AOTC Mini Bust, the Bib Fortuna Statue
and Senate Guard Statue all took a big dip, so if you have been looking for
them, now is the time to strike.
On the LOTR front, the Mini Busts continue to dip with
Balrog, Elrond and Gandalf all dropping since our last update, placing most of
these Mini Busts in the $10 to $20 range. The Harry Potter line had a slight
surge with most Mini Busts going up a few bucks, with the exception of the 5th
Year Harry Potter, which has now dropped below $10. For these and all
the other May updates, be sure to check out the
Guides!

Review: Jango Fett – Version 2
(Mini-Bust)!
(Posted at Yodasnews.com)
With the exception of troopers and convention exclusive
variants, Gentle Giant is not known for double dipping very much in their
mini-bust line. While welcomed by those who have grown weary of seeing incessant
rehashes of characters in the Hasbro action figure line, this practice has
deprived collectors of acquiring favorite characters whose appearance in the
mini-bust line came at the beginning—pieces that now sell for many times their
original price. Boba Fett, Yoda, and Darth Vader are three prominent ones that
come to mind.
First released in the early years of Gentle Giant’s Star Wars offerings, the first Jango Fett followed the initial concept of being a true bust (i.e. – armless and looking like an amputee). Several years later, a second version was released, one that sported chrome-like armor and an interchangeable portrait that allowed collectors to display Jango sans helmet. That re-imagined mini-bust is the focus of today’s review. Click Below for the full review!

NYCC 08: Live Report From the Floor #2!
We now have some additional Gentle Giant news from NYCC
as Matt was able to have a informal Q&A with GG, check it out below:
*They do have the rights to both the Force Unleashed and the Clone Wars Animated Movie. At this time they are going to concentrate on the Clone Wars in the maquette line only and look at the Force Unleashed later this year. *The Celebration Japan Excluisve Kustomz will be the "Red Baron" Tie Fighter and limited to only 500, no word yet on a Mini Bust exclusive. They will hold back some for the PGM. *The Mini Helmets (the line they picked up from MR) will focus only on re-issues for the first runs, no word yet on which ones will get made first but they will be ones we have seen before from MR but under the GG name (with a possible change in the base) *The Bronze Items (see post below) will have a real bronze shell (and possibly solid) and will have a higher end price page and be very limited. *The Harry Potter Ron Quiddich Mini Bust is set for a Fall 2008 release and as of this posting the Tranforming Lupin will be a PGM Exclusive. *On Monday, all items from the show will be up for sale for the PGM members, time is TBD. They will be first come, first serve. *The raffles are not 100% done, but at this time they are planning to do most of the items first come, first serve and save the raffles for other perks like Promos or Giveaways, but it is still being discussed. *The Bilbo Classis may be a Mail Away exclusive, not final yet. *The Pixar contract they have does allow them to produce items from older movies made by Pixar. *The Wizard of Oz Heads will be 1:3 Scale, they may also come out as mini busts, thay has yet to be determined.

Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger
Statue!
On Elm Street, Nancy Thompson and a group of her friends
are being tormented by a clawed killer in their dreams named Freddy Krueger.
Nancy must think quickly, as Freddy tries to pick off his victims one by one.
When he has you in your sleep, who is there to save you?
This Freddy Krueger statue stands approximately 7 inches tall, due out in November 2008!
Harry Potter Quidditch Bust Ups Box Sets!
The Quidditch Bust-Ups Box Sets portray each rider on a
clear base in mid-flight. Both sets create a spectacular scene of Quidditch
players and their referee. Combine Box Sets 1 and 2 to complete your

Snitch, Quaffle, 2 Bludgers (each with removable restraints) and 2 Bats.

Star Wars TIE Fighter Pilot Mini Bust!
Fans have been asking for him for a while and Gentle
Giant delivers with the TIE Fighter Pilot Mini Bust. The Mini Bust stands 6.75
Inches tall. As with most new items, no edition size has been set yet. This
mini bust may also have something extra for the variant and chase fans! Rumor
has it that one in every 6 Mini Busts will be a chase/variant and all we know
as of now, it's being called a "Chase Black 3". Due out at the end of 2008.
Click the picture below for the high resolution image!
Full Description: It takes a brave, dedicated warrior with unending loyalty to strap in behind the control yoke of a TIE fighter and pilot that fragile, speedy craft into battle. TIE fighter pilots are well trained to overcome the inherent design flaws of the TIE fighter and turn it into a formidable and deadly vessel - for their own sake, if nothing else. This Bust is Designed in 1/6 Scale and Stands Approximately 6.75 Inches Tall. Case pack includes 5 standard versions and 1 chase version (Black Three) of the Pilot.
Indy Bust Update: Aussie Gen Con
Exclusive!!
We just got word from GG that there will be a Exclusive
Variant of the Indy Bust for Gen Con Australia. First posted at Mousedroid.com
and on GGC later that day was this Mini Bust:
 This version, with the Idol in the hand of Indy, will be exclusive to the Con. The general release version will not include the idol, but will sport the new look of this bust (still pending final approval). A portion will be held back for members of the PGM for purchase after the show. GG also said they intend to make as many as possible, if not all show exclusives available to the PGM, so good news on all fronts! A big thanks to GG for the info!

Indy Gets a New Look!
You can toss the old pictures of the Indy Mini Bust out
the window! Our friends at
Mousedroid.com posted the below picture as
part of the Australian Toy Fair where Indy sports a new sculpt and idol in
hand! With plenty of buzz on the boards, we went direct to Gentle Giant Ltd to
ask what was going on. Was it a variant or show exclusive or was this the new
updated Indy?
GG has confirmed to GGC that this is the most recent
version, but not the final version. They are still in the approval stage with
Lucas but I think everyone will agree this is a great improvement from what
was seen in New York and a welcome improvement. Nice Job GG!

GGC Price Guides Now Live!
Our new price guides, have been in the making for
the last 6 month and while not 100% ready to go, we are debuting the
GentleGiantCollectors.com
Price Guides today! We know there are other
price guides available, and they can be very useful. However, the
main complaint we have heard from our members, is that they are not
always accurate, that they only use ebay as a source for the price and once
the item is no longer found on e-bay, the price stays where it was the last
time it was on, which can lead to mis-leading guides. We decided
to work on the problem.
The only 100% accurate way to do it, was the old
fashioned way, manually. It does take a lot of time, but the Price Guide
team looks at completed ebay auctions, ebay stores, online retailers who sell
in the secondary market, yahoo auctions as well as other places on the
web. The guides will be continually updated (on a monthly basis).
We don't have them all completed yet, but we are getting there!
Our Images Guides and Price Guides are now one and
the same. The Image Guides Gallery, which now has over 300 images
of all your favorite Gentle Gentle Collectibles (we add more every week), now
incorporates the Price Guides. In the next few weeks, we will also
be incorporating the Price Guides into our very popular
Registry, so that you will not only be
able to register all your collectibles and download your collection to your
home computer (current features) but, you will also be able to see
a current market value of your collection. There are hundreds of
new entries each day, so sure to check out the registry and check out the new

End of Summer Heats Up for Gentle Giant
The month of August
will be a big month for Gentle Giant with 11 new releases in Star Wars, Lord
of the Rings and 30 Days of Night brands.
Gentle Giant started
off 2008 with it's first ever accessory pack to a mini bust, the AT-TE Tank
Gunner Mini Bust Accessory Pack and for its second accessory release is
pulling out all the stops with the
Princess Leia as Jabba's Slave Accessory Pack.
This accessory pack is a nice little change up to the Jabba the Hutt Statue
and includes Princess Leia as Jabba's Slave, 2 Jabba arms to reposition Jabba
Statue with Leia, Hookah pipe, pillow and base. Leia on her own stands 4
inches tall and the entire accessory pack will retail for $75. Also releasing
in August is the 3rd wave of Star Wars Classics Bust. This wave consists of
Jar Jar Binks,
Obi-Wan Kenobi as seen in Revenge of the Sith
and an
AT-AT Driver. All 3
stand around 5 inches to 5.5 inches tall and retail for $30. The last but not
least Star Wars product scheduled to make its debut in August, is the
Yoda (Empire Strikes Back) Statue.
The wise Jedi Master is sure to be a hit with all collectors and be a corner
stone in everyone's collection. Yoda will retail for $140 and is available
with the other Star Wars items to pre-order now through gentlegiantltd.com.
To pre-order you must be logged into your Gentle Giant Club account.

Following hot on the
heels of the Star Wars releases will be Lord of the Rings. August will see
the next releases in the Gentle Giant Lord of the Rings mini bust line. First
up will be the Dark
Galadriel Light-Up mini bust depicting a
scene right out of the movie. Galadriel stands 8 inches tall and retails for
$55. Last month Gentle Giant announced the release of the Twilight Ringwraith
Animaquette, this month Gentle Giant goes 'real' with the announcement of the
Twilight Ringwraith Ringbearer mini bust.
This bust retails for $55 and stands 9.5 inches tall. But by far the most
'Monumental' release for Lord of the Rings will be the Balrog Monument Wall
Mount. For those that stopped by the Gentle Giant Booth at San Diego saw for
your self this big behemoth. Measuring a whopping 48in
long x 40in high x 26in deep this Balrog will only set you back $2000.
2008 is a big year of Horror for Gentle Giant with the
already announced mini busts and maquettes. But 'FEAR NOT' Gentle Giant is
adding Action Figures to the mix. 30 Days of Night is a 3-issue graphic novel
series written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Ben Templesmith. Released in
2002, 30 Days of Night follows a group of Vampires who flock to Barrow, Alaska
where the sun sets for 30 days, allowing them to feed without the burden of
sleep to avoid lethal sunlight. David Slade directed the theatrical adaptation
which was released in October of 2007. Gentle Giant first set of action
figures includes;
Marlow,
Arvin and
Iris. Collect all 3
figures to get the bonus Build-A-Figure Vampire Girl ‘Lilith’. Each figure
