Gentle Giant: Comic-Con Exclusive McQ Vader Minibust and Vintage Stormtrooper

By Mike — Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Gentle Giant has a lot planned for Comic-Con featuring plenty of the expected activity in their booth and a couple of nostalgic/vintage awesome Star Wars exclusives!

 

102 McQuarrue Darth Vader MinibustDarth Vader (McQuarrie concept) – Mini Bust

License: Star Wars

Height: 6”

Limited Edition of 1000

$75    

 

Following the 2009, sold out Boba Fett concept mini-bust is the new original concept art Darth Vader, based on the drawings of Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston. McQuarrie is often credited with developing the look and feel of the Star Wars trilogy. McQuarrie and Johnston worked side by side to develop this version of the evil overlord. Though it is uniquely different than the final film version; the piece still holds true to the final feel of Vader’s timeless helmet and black armor.

This Darth Vader Mini-bust will be sold exclusively at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con. The piece features 3 different interchangeable heads and is a highly collectible limited edition.

Just like they were when you were a kid, only BIGGER! Gentle Giant is proud to debut their new line of vintage Star Wars Action figure reproductions with the release of this classic Empire Strikes Back Stormtrooper.
