Gentle Giant's MARVEL COMICS line

Rod · Feb 28, 2012

Surprised there isn't a thread for Gentle Giant's MARVEL products.....they are pumping out a lot of pics of upcoming pieces.....so far, only a few have been released.

Not sure if we should do one thread for all of GG's MARVEL stuff or one per item....I am thinking one thread for all will work since this is mostly a SW forum.

So...which of GG's MARVEL items are you most looking forward to?

I already got the movie Captain America mini bust....

But I'm looking forward to GG's other Captain America pieces....

CaptainAlex · Mar 3, 2012

I am also looking forward to the other Captain America piece as well.

I just received the Black Widow "Winter Outfit" minibust from GG last night. Stunning!

I have the regular Black Widow bust on pre-order.

I'm not loving the Spider-Man bust coming out in support of the new movie. The base seems isn't doing it for me.

My Marvel bust collecting is going to be pretty limited. I have a set of "Avengers" minibust making up the core characters and composed of a few different companies (Bowen, Koto, GG) at this point but I will not be going all out.

Neal · Mar 21, 2012

I have a few of these on preorder, but have yet to receive my first one.

xMClass · Mar 24, 2012

They're also coming out with a Wolverine. Might pick this one up if I ever get into collecting Busts.

I am looking forward to seeing the Green Goblin mb. It might look good sitting next to my Amazing Spider Man issue #14.

CaptainAlex · Apr 25, 2012

The Black Widw minibust (Classic black outfit) from GG has been added to my Avengers display. Sorry about the crap photo.

D. Martin has added The Thing Mini Bust to the CTR Photo Archive:

CaptainAlex · May 4, 2012

Thanks. Just placed my order. Hopefully it comes out before Iron Man 3.

Gentle Giant did a great job on him. He looks great.

Same here ... and I wouldn't bet on it.

Rod · May 5, 2012

We can only hope.....but at that price? I'm game. Pose and choice of armor is great. Hope they do all the Avengers....

Agreed. He's definitely worth picking up, especially at the current price.

Ordered him when the sale was happening. Do you think we will see an updated Thor or Captain America?

I love my Thor bust. Its fantastic. Only question for me is it really dwarfs my captain america bust from last year. but a very minor complaint. i just assume thor is bigger??? fragile helmet wings though.

Can you please post some in hand pics of the movie Thor bust? Also some pics next to the movie Cap? I have considered getting it......need something to convince me.....

Neal · Jul 5, 2012

My Hulk and Thing busts are on their way. These will be my first Marvel busts, so I'm rather psyched.

And they've arrived. Looking forward to opening them later tonight.

Neal · Jul 13, 2012

Apparently I'm talking to myself here, but I think the Hulk and Thing busts are absolutely fantastic. Nice size and heft to them. I'm a fan.

SWDave · Jul 13, 2012

If you enjoy Marvel busts, give Bowen Designs a try. They do the best work in the field in my opinion.

Rod · Jul 16, 2012

I keep checking for in hand pics of the movie Thor bust....want to see it before I get one.

Neal · Jul 27, 2012

My Thanos bust just arrived.

*EDIT* - Ah, **** ..... the bust was broken. God, I hate that.

That sucks! What was broken?

The little "tip" of his mask above his right eye. It's not much, but it's definitely broken off.

I'm assuming you're going to get a new one?

Yeah, that's the plan. I've already contacted GG via email. Stay tuned.

Neal · Jul 30, 2012

Heard back from Gentle Giant today. They've already sent me out a replacement bust. Top notch customer service on this one.

Good to hear! Do you need to send back the broken one?

Nope. They're actually letting me keep it.

They did the same thing for me on my last broken bust. Ended up giving it to a friend, he fixed it and you could only tell if you knew where to look.
