Star Wars Classics Busts
The three Classics busts represent the beginning of a new line for us that we have high hopes for. At a $30 retail price, these should appeal to new consumers. It is important to mention that this line will differ from previous collectibles in several ways, the most notable of which being that while each piece is still a Limited Edition Collectible, Gentle Giant will NOT be announcing edition sizes, and each piece will NOT be sequentially numbered. Instead, each piece will feature an alphanumeric serial number that will match up with a Certificate of Authenticity and be stored in a master database so that any given item’s authenticity can instantly be verified.
TIE Fighter Pilot Classics bust It takes a dedicated warrior with unending loyalty to strap in behind the control yoke of a TIE fighter and pilot the 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. Order yours today!
Kit Fisto Classics bust Kit Fisto is a striking example of an alien Jedi, with large, unblinking eyes, and a gathered tangle of flexible tentacle-tresses extending from his head. The mighty warrior not only advised the highest office of the Republic, but was also part of the Jedi taskforce assembled by Mace Windu to rescue captives from the Separatist stronghold on Geonosis. When Republic reinforcements arrived to spark the first battle of the epic Clone Wars, Kit Fisto led a special unit of clone troopers into the thick of the conflict. Order yours today!
Boba Fett Classics bust A Mandalorian bounty hunter without an equal, Boba Fett emerged as the preeminent bounty hunter of the galaxy. A faceless enforcer, Boba Fett's distinctive armor strikes fear in the hearts of fugitives. He is all business, laconic, and deadly. By capturing Han Solo and his friends, he collected two bounties for the same haul - one from the Empire and one from the merciful less, Jabba the Hutt. Order yours today!
