    Yeah, Gentle Giant are bringing out some awesome stuff. Up until now, I’ve only collected their mini busts, but the statues are looking great as well. I want to order the Leia as Boushh and Yoda statues. I’d order them all if I had an unlimited budget:D

    I always kept away from Gentle Giant and Sideshow since I knew they could get pricey rather quickly and I didn't have such budgets at the time. I was able to get my hands on the Wedge mini-bust a few years back though and I love it. Then again, I'm a Wedge fangirl so any merch I can get = me happy.

    But I will agree, took a visit to their website and there's some lovely pieces there. If only unlimited budgets were such a thing.

    I got my first statue a couple of years ago. I was delighted. I have a few on pre-order but I have to watch myself budgeting. If you get a notification something is coming in and it doesn't correspond to pay day you can send them a message and they'll change the ship date. You might end up with a higher edition statue/ bust but at least you can afford it.

    @Fallen-Hero If you buy through Sideshow they offer pay plans - that's only how I can afford the figures I have on pre-order.

    Pics of my PGM Ben Kenobi mini-bust. He looks like he's kind of giving me side eye. Lol

    I don't think I've taken my Biggs and Blue Snaggletooth out to photograph them yet (very little room to put anything)

    Old Ben’s robes are very well done. They have great texture and seem to hang naturally, especially at the cuffs.

    The fabric is nice. He's a very detailed bust considering he's in simple clothing.

    Yeah, me too. I’m going to pre-order one of these. It’ll look good beside my Crimson Dawn Maul mini bust.

    GG have taken to announcing busts of green-coloured characters on St Patrick’s Day. Last year it was Mando and Grogu, this year it’s a Gamorrean Guard from BoBF.

    Both of those statues look great. I just can't afford the bigger ones. I like the statues that are 1/7th in size.

    Yeah, they’re nice, but pricey. I’m guessing the Vizsla bust will be more expensive because of the size and weight (like Black Krrsantan).

    I don't really care for the eyes on this one - they look like someone punched him in both. I think it's the way the face under the eyes has been done.

    He does look like he's got massive bags under his eyes, lol. He still looks good otherwise
