Gentle Giant goes gray

Looks like GG it taking a page from SS with gray versions of the SW animated statues.



There's also some photos of the new busts, Yoda and the Rancor from the International Toy Show. Grievous is pretty big.

those look ok, im gonna stick with the color versions though. im also thinking about cancelling my boba order--just dont have any room for him.

So am I going to have to trade my Gray Hulk for a Gray Boba Fett?







And look! The packaging for the deformed 501st!!

lol... whats with the gray fever??

is there a reason behind this other than being a marketing tactic?
Theres a gray Hulk, cause there really is a gray Hulk. Sideshow makes the SSE monsters cause of the B&W films.

So where do the B&W SW concepts come from? or are they just bandwagon jumpin?
If so you'd think they'd want to do something somewhat original.

Black and White stormtroopers, alright.....wait, uh....errr

I wonder how these will be distributed. Maybe they'll be randomly packed in very low numbers to drive collectors nuts and make the scalpers rejoice.

I would seek out a color one if I happened to get a B&W version. They look much better and "animated".

The logic of a black and white Vader escapes me. Basically, the little red dots on his chest panel are gray, and he has a gray lightsaber. The guy wasn't bursting with color to begin with...

It's probably the same logic that went behind the chrome Vader statue.

only difference on Vader is the lack of the glossy finish in his helmet and other accents.

It's kind of neat to see what Vader, Fett, and Leia looked like back when my great-grandmother first saw them on the screen back in the days of silent movies.

I don't understand this at all. It's already weird enough with the animted maquettes and now they add a gray version? I think I may just cancell this line all together and just get the guys pertaining to Clone Wars.

Yes but to complete it all, the yshould also be done with the "sound off" option so you have really silent statues! Cool eh!


This is stupid. But that's just my very humble opinion ofcourse!

It's called milking, cause Star Wars fans will buy anything, especially with overrated Fett.

I just hope they up the edition size of the Grayhole Stormtrooper.

im tempted to do this as well. ive already cancelled my order for the fett, i just cant figure out how bad i want the Vader.

This is the stupidest thing I ever seen.

I was originally opposed to the whole idea of the the OT animated maquettes. Then I saw more of them and thought they were a pretty cool item and have all 3 on order. I really do love the Leia and R2, but the others are just OK. I'm going to have to cut back on some things and this may be the first line to go. I'm just really turned off by GG right now with these stupid gray versions. Who the hell cares?! They look stupid and it's just a weak attempt to make a buck by GG. But watch these get an ES of 1000 and then sell on eBay for $600 like Padme. I don't know what Adam and Bob's cancellation policies are, but I'm about to find out.

I don't quite see the point.
