I, too, am slightly confused by the choice for C4 exclusive, but at the same time I am very happy that it is an exclusive that I will not be too upset if I miss getting it.
I was expecting a non-main, non-specific character such as a Tusken Raider. I was worried that it would be something like a TIE Pilot, AT-AT Driver, or Death Star Gunner, a non-character Imperial like they have done in the past like the Sandtrooper at C3. I want those mini-busts, but I don't want them to be exclusives.

Why did they have to make all the cool busts exclusives? I have no interest in a jawa or leia. The fact that all the clones are exclusives kinda makes me not wanna bother trying to get them.

Don't despair, there's always a way. I've managed to get two exclusives fairly easily, Mara Jade and the Shocktrooper that I didn't think I would have a chance at! Just shop around particularly Ebay and you will probably be ok!

I found this over at Rebelscum.com
February 10, 2007, Burbank, Ca. – Gentle Giant Ltd. is ready to take the world and collectors by storm with an unprecedented five-city worldwide tour. While traveling the globe, the company will make a special, exclusive Star Wars Clone Trooper Commander mini-bust available at each of the five locations.
“Why should rock stars and movie celebrities have all the fun?” asked Gentle Giant Vice President of Product Development and Design Dev Gilmore. “We figure it’s high time the collectibles industry had its own world tour, so we’re taking the lead and having a lot of fun. And of course, we want to invite everyone to come join us, so we’re making it worth your while thanks to some very cool, exclusive Clone Trooper Commander mini-busts.”
As amazing as the Clone Trooper Commanders are, Gentle Giant knows that a single exclusive does not a party make. So the company is offering multiple tour exclusives to go along with the specific location exclusives. The Gentle Giant Worldwide Tour 2007 Exclusives include a Yoda/R2-D2 Animated-style maquette and a special Bust-Ups 2-pack of Han and Luke in Stormtrooper armor. There will also be other exclusives at some of the five events, which will be announced soon.
As to those Clone Trooper Commanders… They’ll be available in the following cities:
* Event #1 -- Star Wars Celebration IV (Los Angeles, CA): Commander Gree
* Event #2 -- Gentle Giant @ Blister (Tokyo, Japan): Commander Neyo
* Event #3 -- Gentle Giant @ Forbidden Planet (London, England): Commander Bly
* Event #4 -- San Diego Comic-Con (San Diego, CA): Commander Cody
* Event #5 – Special fifth location to be announced!: Commander Baraca
“This will be a lot of fun and a great opportunity for collectors to score some exclusive Star Wars collectibles,” said Gilmore. “But we also know that not everyone can follow us around the world, and we figure everyone deserves a shot at these cool mini-busts. So we’ll be making 500 limited edition box sets of all five mini-busts, and those will be available exclusively on our web site at the end of the year.”
The Gentle Giant Worldwide Tour 2007 begins on May 24, 2007 at Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles, Ca. and continues throughout the summer. Check the Gentle Giant web site at www.gentlegiantltd.com for tour updates and more information on tour exclusives.
Looks like it will be real hard for me to get any of these. Why do all the cool bust have be exclusives. Which makes it harder for everyone to get.

Difficult yes but not impossible!
I thought the venue for London was a bit odd, surely Celebration Europe would have been a better venue! unless Bacara will be going there!

Gentle Giant have announced a bunch of new busts. Check out the story (with pics) here on TFN.
I like that Senate Guard bust the best. Boba looks good but I prefer the version with the arms (which I already have).

I have both the Royal Guard and Senate Guard on order now. I'm glad that ordered them when I did. I can not find the Senate Guard on ShopStarWars.com. And now NorthSide collectibles only has it it up as part of sets.

Info on the clone commander busts. Nice hi-rez pics of each one, they have all the detail work on them now. Gree looks better than I remember.

Check out the Rebelscum photo archives. They have checklists and pics of figures, etc. The link will take you to the minibust list. Click on the character name to see pics.
