The Premier Guild gift announcements are here at last! Starting right now we are going to announce two of the Premier Guild 2017 gift offerings each day, one in the morning (this one) and one in the afternoon for the next three days.
On Friday 3/31 you will be able to start ordering your membership tier of choice for the newly revamped Gentle Giant Ltd. 2017 Premier Guild!
But enough reading! Let’s get to the first gift announcement!!
First up we have our Star Wars: A New Hope Obi-Wan Kenobi Death Star Duel Mini-Bust
For those watching Star Wars: A New Hope back in 1977, “Ben” Obi-Wan Kenobi was the original “Last Jedi.” For our 2017 Premier Guild exclusive 1:6 scale mini-bust we see Obi-Wan Kenobi, desert recluse and mentor, locked in the fateful duel from the original Star Wars film as he faces down his former padawan on the Death Star. With his hood up, lightsaber ignited and a steely determination in his eyes, Obi-Wan stands his ground against his former pupil and makes the ultimate sacrifice to help save the galaxy.
It has been 10 years since Gentle Giant Ltd. has released an Episode IV Obi-Wan bust and now the Premier Guild is proud to bring you the exclusive Obi-Wan Kenobi Death Star Duel Mini Bust! Digitally sculpted by our master artisans, using actual archival footage and designs, each Obi-Wan Kenobi Death Star Duel Mini Bust is rendered using the highest quality polystone, hand painted and includes a light feature imbedded in the bust to illuminate the blade of his lightsaber.
Each piece comes individually numbered and is paired with a matching certificate of authenticity.

Gentle Giant Premier Guild 2017 - Old Ben Kenobi Bust - The Toyark - News

Looks outstanding. Wish it wasn't a bust (had legs, in other words), but the price point is probably out of my range in any event...

Gentle Giant Premier Guild 2017 – Darth Revan Statue - The Toyark - News

Why do they have Revan holding his lightsabers underhanded?
Why does he have a point on his hood? Revan almost never has that.
Revan is my second favorite Star Wars character, so I'd totally be willing to drop $150 for this thing if they take the point off that hood. Problem is, I doubt anyone will see any more than this artwork before the signup period for the Premiere Guild is over.

Gentle Giant Premier Guild 2017 – Star Wars Lobot Mini Bust - The Toyark - News

Ah yes, who could forget the iconic Lobot. So many great lines. Such a deep character. Why yes, I'm totally willing to spend $5000 on a statue of him, why do you ask?
