Cold cast in high quality polystone and hand painted, each limited edition bust comes individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity. Available at SDCC 2014.

SDCC Exclusive Star Wars Jek Porkins Mini Bust - The Toyark - News
While I understand the appeal to exclusives and being a completionist, the fact that this bust even exists is just mind boggling to me, and an SDCC exclusive to boot. I have to wonder who at Gentle Giant thought that this would be a great idea and more so, who at Comic Con is actually going to shell out that kind of money to buy this? Is there really that much of an outcry and demand for an obese X-wing pilot who was only in about 7 seconds of the movie?
I really scratch my head when companies put out extremely niche products like this. The oversized figure is cool, as it is essentially a giant and elaborate piece of wall art, but the bust?...It just seems like a giant attempt to troll people, and it seems like they are certain to lose more money than they would make from this thing. Why make it at all? *shrugs shoulders...
well pork ins is a joke… literally xD
not in a bad way, just me and my gf, and my friends crack up when we see him. Partly due to the fact of naruto abridged. I'd buy it as a fun joke every time i see it but most definitely not for the price they're probably asking.
I don't know, a statue of a fat bearded guy seems kinda appropriate.
They should just make a 6 in. Black series of him instead
who is going to buy that
I can hold it.....I can hold it....I ca-aaahhhrrgghhh!!!!
Looks like Comic Book Guy from the Simpson's in his best cosplay gear!!!
Chubby white guys in their thirties that don't have the best diet or routine shaving habbits.... seems like they nailed their target market to me!!!

Luke sure looks bored doing battle with Darth Vader.
He's like, "Ugh. Not this guy again."
