Thanos Mini Bust
Price: $75
License: Marvel
Edition Size: 500 Pieces
Item Number: 80224

Thanos. The Mad Titan. Deviant Eternal. Wielder of the Infinity Gauntlet. One of the evilest villains in the Marvel Universe, Thanos was created by Jim Starlin and introduced during the Bronze Age of comic books. Since then, he’s wreaked havoc across multiple titles (including his own), all in the name of courting the object of his desire, Mistress Death.

Hand-crafted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant, this high-quality polystone mini bust depicts the modern comic book-style Thanos and his ultimate weapon, the Infinity Gauntlet. From the crags on his chin to each individual embedded gem in the Gauntlet, no detail has been overlooked. Hand-painted and individually numbered, this convention exclusive is a must-have for all True Believers.

 

Blue Snaggletooth 12” Jumbo Vintage Kenner Figure
Price: $80
License: Star Wars
Edition Size: 2,000 Pieces
Item Number: 80227

Blue Snaggletooth is the informal name of a rare Kenner action figure from the 1978 Star Wars line. Released as part of the Sears “Star Wars Cantina Adventure Set”, the Snaggletooth figure was intended to represent the character who would later be known as Zutton. However, the only reference used for the figure was a partial black and white photograph of the alien’s head. The body was unknown, so the sculptors and artists improvised, creating a tall alien with a tight blue spacesuit and silver boots. From 1979 onward, including later Sears releases of the cantina set, all versions of Snaggletooth were changed to a red color, with bare feet and hands and shorter legs. Now thanks to Gentle Giant, you have a chance to own your own version of Blue Snaggletooth, on a much larger scale.

 

 

Blade Reaper Blu-Ray
Price: $99
License: Blade II
Edition Size: 500
Item Number: 314406

Blade II, directed by Guillermo Del Toro is on Blu-Ray at last! Perhaps the best movie in the Blade trilogy (though not if you ask our CEO, who still adores Blade I), this film starred Wesley Snipes and Ron Perlman as they became unlikely allies against a new race of mutant vampires. This convention-exclusive edition includes the blu-ray disc of the film and a hand-crafted, limited edition Reaper mini bust created by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd.!

 

McQuarrie Stormtrooper Deluxe Mini Bust
Price: $85
License: Star Wars
Edition Size: 1,800

Based on original pre-production illustrations from Star Wars: A New Hope and the late Ralph McQuarrie, this deluxe mini bust displays a fascinating look at McQuarrie’s conceptual development of the Imperial Stormtrooper. Note the early lightsaber and roman style shield. This highly-detailed mini bust, based on the original Lucasfilm costumes and props, was sculpted and painted by Gentle Giant Ltd and includes several interchangeable pieces.

Pale Man Statue
Price: $225
License: Pan’s Labyrinth
Edition Size: 300 Pieces
Item Number: 11753

The Pale Man, who gorged on excess, was banished to a den in the netherworld. Unable to feast on the banquet before him, his body shriveled and his humanity withered away. His only sustenance was the blood of innocents. A meal he relished in hunting himself. He kept a watchful eye over a dagger with a hilt of gold, for he feared it to be the only object that could cause him harm. In truth it’s presence kept him alive. Once the blade was removed, he collapsed unto himself and faded from existence. From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro, whome Gentle Giant seems to be infatuated with this year, comes a dark fairy tale about a young girl named Ofelia, who enters a mysterious labyrinth and finds herself at the center of a ferocious battle between good and evil. The master artisans at Gentle Giant have put together this beautiful statue to commemorate the Pale Man of Pan’s Labyrinth, in their largest exclusive this year.

 

Admiral Motti Mini Bust
Price: $80
License: Star Wars
Edition Size: 1,200
Item Number: 80233

Admiral Motti was head of the Imperial Naval operations aboard the Death Star. Motti was overly-confident in his belief that the Death Star was invulnerable to any threat posed by the Rebel Alliance. He was even arrogant enough to openly question Darth Vader for his failure to locate a secret Rebel base. For this, Vader Force-choked Motti, only to have Grand Moff Tarkin intervene at the last moment, ordering the Dark Lord to relent. This highly-detailed mini bust, based on the original Lucasfilm costumes and props, was sculpted and painted by Gentle Giant Ltd. We hope you enjoy it.

Each COA has been signed by Admiral Motti himself, actor Richard LeParmentier, and Richard will be appearing at the Gentle Giant booth at San Diego Comic Con 2012 to sign the actual bust!
