Gentle Giant - Avatar Neytiri Mini Bust

Hey guys, I searched the forums and couldn't find a thread for this particular bust. I haven't heard anything at all about the release date or any info about this piece since earlier this year. Is it still planned to be produced? If so, what's the ship date approximate?

I've been looking forward to seeing this piece in my collection since I learned about it in 2010, and I am sad to not hear about any info as of late about it!

I believe that line has been unofficially cancelled.

Wow, they haven't released those??
!
Gentle Giant is a joke...

I'd like to know what's going on too. Gentle Giant still lists 3 busts in the Avatar line on their site. All the online stores still have pre-orders up for them. EE says Neytiri is coming in September, the next 2 in October and the Viper Wolves in March. Other sites don't seem far off from that. Any truth to it?

- What’s the status on this line? Is it still happening? If so, when will these pieces be released?

We are finally in full production on Tsu Tey and Neytiri. Looking at the end of 2011 release.

Of course, always expect delays with GG.

Looks good. Other then the body paint, GG did a pretty good job on transferring the likeness, consider the size.

Neytiri looks pretty good. I'm interested in seeing in hand pics.

Aye, hoping under natural lighting the paint looks a bit better. I think it is the most accurate portrait we have seen on a product yet though. It is the first of the three pieces that is at least pretty.
Prettiest anyway

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Hmmm...2011 is almost done. I wonder if Gentle Giant is gonna wait until the last day to release these?

 

[Shropt]

That blue looks REALLY light. Not bad though.

 

[DarthIndy]

This is what I just can't understand.
GG's own comments on those photos admit the lighting is making it look pale. Why even post photos that do not show your product in the best possible light?
These are the photos we use to base our purchasing decisions on. All it does is turn people away.

This isn't just GG, Sideshow is very guilty of this as well.

We asked Greg if he would snap a few pics of the production pieces for us over on the SF site and he was nice enough to follow through. i think they were done on the quick so i cant complain to much, but agree that natural lighting would have been nice though

My point is these photos are open for everyone to view, critique and inevitibly decide whether it's worth their money.
I would have assumed any kind of public reveal via official channels would have to be vetted to ensure the company's product is shown in the most flattering manner.

You would think so.

The oddest thing here is not the shade of the blue.

It's the fact that the arm holding the arrow is too far up compared to the one seen in the box. The arm now blocks her face.

 

[xXJonoXx]

Does anyone have in-hand pictures of the Neytiri Statue? I'm very interested since it has been released,but I am worried about the quality of the bust before I order. Bad paint/bad likeness are my worst turn offs for a piece. I wanna see how this looks in a buyers hands.
