Star Wars Clone Trooper Mini-Bust
|
 April 2003 - Gentle Giant Studios launches a deluxe series of Star Wars mini-busts with a new release that re-sets the bar for this type of product - Clone Trooper. This is the first-ever mini-bust that we are aware of that adds a modular aspect, allowing the collector to pose the Clone Trooper in a variety of ways. You can either change the position of the arms and accessories as desired or get multiple copies and create your own Clone trooper squadron.
Each Clone Trooper bust will include the following components:
Arm configurations: one right arm attached to torso, one left arm pointing, one left arm sculpted to support a rifle.
Accessories: a DC-15 blaster, a DC-15 rifle and a pair of long range binoculars.
Like any military organization, the Clone Troopers are distinguished by rank. In the case of Star Wars, the troopers are white, commanders are yellow and captains are red. There will be paint variants to reflect this.
Clone Trooper is packed in cartons of six. Each carton will contain one red, two yellow and three white. The sculpture is the same for each color, only the painting is different. Accounts who order in increments of six will receive unbroken cases. No special orders by color are accepted, so orders in non-case quantities will be filled at random with no guarantees of color.
As with the previous releases, the Clone Trooper is based upon state-of-the-art three-dimensional scanning of the actual props and costumes, combined with traditional sculpting and painting. The result is a fantastic realism that distinguishes the Gentle Giant editions as the very best.
Clone Trooper is approximately 5 1/2" tall. Numbered limited edition of 7,500 for worldwide distribution Gentle Giant reserves the right to increase the edition size if needed to fill initial orders.
