Wow ... great marketing. It's a great way to sale those 30 dollar white clones that are clogging up retail ... even at 20 to 30 dollars a pop. I know it sounds like sarcasm, but it's genius. Not to mention charging 15 bucks for something that probably cost them 50 cents to produce. Bravo.

Anyone got images for us non members ?

 

[The Josh]

Got mine. Then went and ordered another white clone to put it on.

Someone please post a pic. Not interested in it for a minibust, wondering if it would work on either Medicom or Hasbro clone.

Pass. GG needs new bust not accersory's for old ones. JMO

 

[LOTRFan]

Are they making grey exclusives now too! :eek :eek :eek

 

[ProgMatinee]

Thanks Josh. Pretty interesting. Don't really recognize it off hand though.

I ordered one to go along with the grey Coruscant Clone Trooper AFX exclusive bust I still have. Figured for $15 + shipping I should give it a try. Although I'm sure very shortly, GG will release an actual AT-TE Gunner bust.

Officially, what color is an AT-TE gunner?

They charged you shipping on top of the 15 bucks? What could those 2 items weigh, a couple of ounces? That's ..... :emperor

No problem. I don't recall seeing them in ROTS but I'm a sucker for clones.

 

[Shropt]

Are these just simple plastic, polystone, or what?

Tax and shipping together brought my total to about $25 just for these two little pieces. I hesitated as I had vowed to start getting away from GG in 2008, but I have been holding on to my last white clone for this reason and I went ahead and ordered the pack yesterday.

Tom, 10 dollars to ship these pieces (which you know will have to be made of plastic similar to the Frodo and Sam Orc helmets in order to prevent breakage or damage to the bust) is highway robbery. I am not faulting you for ordering them - if you wanted them, by all means, order them. But this makes no sense at all. With shipping, they are charging 1/3 to 1/2 of a regular mini bust price for 2 small strap-on pieces (okay, Bannister and Shai, get you minds out of the gutter ... ). It's ridiculous.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I wonder what collector freak thinks????

 

[metaphorge]

Don't suppose I could talk anyone into picking one of these sets for me and then letting me PayPal them? I don't do GG busts, but would like to try to put these on a 1:6 figure custom.

 

[icruise]

I'm not even sure I entirely understand the point of accessorizing a statue in this way, but then again I'm not much of a fan of busts in the first place.

 

[DouglasMcc]

Gentle Giant - never saw a scam they didn't like. At least with this rip, they released the "accessory" much later than the original busts so I can at least rationalize that. No way in Hell those 2 small plastic pieces are worth 25 dollars, but to each his own. But what about the new animated Hellboy figures GG is releasing this month. Hellboy cost 14.99 at retail. His trenchcoat "accessory" pack (which only includes the jacket) cost 19.99! If this is GG new strategy, I am out.

P.S. Mezco never had a problem giving us a Hellboy figure with trenchcoat for 14.99. And, don't give me any of that motion scannin' crap - they are ANIMATED figures.

The rest of the armor is white. Picture is of the packaging from the Hasbro figure courtesy of rebelscum.com - assuming they don't mind me using their pics.
