San Diego Comic-Con – Gentle Giant

Celebration VI

Some of the biggest surprises were probably from Gentle Giant. They showed off a Celebration VI exclusive Clone Trooper statue from Attack of the Clones. Sporting a blue deco (Lieutenant?), the Trooper is kneeling on his base. They also have their Jumbo Lando on display with some previous releases and standing on a vintage-style Bespin backdrop. It seems that the backdrop will be released but we don’t have any additional details on that yet.

Mini Busts

For mini busts, get ready for Jar Jar Binks, Pilot Battle Droid and Wald from The Phantom Menace. And, they’re putting the band back together with Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool from Return of the Jedi

Maquettes

The animated maquette line will be expanding with a Scout Trooper and Ewoks release and a larger piece will be a Sandtrooper sitting on a dewback.

While his first appearance with spider legs was on The Clone Wars, GG will be releasing Darth Maul in a more realistic interpretation of that appearance.

Statues and Dioramas

Gentle Giant has released some cool bookends over the last few years and we can look forward to a new one; an AT-AT from The Empire Strikes Back.

Not to be left out, fans of the Expanded Universe Sith will be pleased with a new Darth Malak statue
