Gentle Giant

What can I say about GG that hasn't already been plastered across multiple forums?  They have terrible crown control and I don't think they've yet to figure out how to handle an exclusive.

It's too bad because they consistently put out some of the nicest items.  Most of the items in their cases were already debuted at Toy Fair earlier this year but there were a few surprises including awesome Tusken Raider and Admiral Ackbar busts. 

We finally got a good look at the 1:6th scale R2-D2 statue that will complement both your bust and statue collections.  A new Darth Maul with Speederbike was on display along with the kneeling Vader that we've seen photos of on-line.

If you like the animated maquette line then you're going to love the Han and Chewy statues that are coming.

The highlight of the booth had to have been the life sized Jabba the Hutt!  They even arranged a photo opportunity for fans dressed as Slave Leia on Saturday.
