Gentle Giant SDCC 2018 Exclusive McQuarrie Concept Yoda Bust

under San Diego Comic Con, Star Wars Toy News

The next Gentle Giant San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Exclusive has been revealed, as they continue their Star Wars Ralph McQuarrie Concept Series. Their newest addition to the concept series is a Yoda 1/6 Scale Mini Bust, based on McQuarrie’s original design for the Jedi Master for The Empire Strikes Back. This will be limited to just 750 pieces. Premier Guild Members can order by Clicking Here. Read on to see a few images.

Continuing our long running line of convention exclusive mini busts based on the early concept art of the original Star Wars Trilogy, Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to unveil the 2018 Yoda (Concept Series) Mini Bust.

The early designs and illustrations of Yoda share similarities to that of the final version seen in The Empire Strikes Back. The original concepts contain several familiar elements of the character such as his wise eyes, his robes and his cane that made it through to the final production. This mini bust explores a fascinating look into the early conceptual development of one of science fiction’s most beloved Jedi Masters.

Designed, modeled and prototyped using top of the line 3D technology, the 1:6th scale Yoda (Concept Series) mini bust is hand cast, hand-painted and hand-numbered with a limited edition Certificate of Authenticity. The bust is a limited edition of only 750 pieces.

    Man I hate how hard these are to get sometimes. I don't really want to pay at least $50 for a membership for a chance to maybe purchase this if it doesn't sell out.

    Boba Fett has been released 3 other times. Wish this would have been a regular retail release.

    And went ahead and got a gold account to get this. Purchased this morning.

    I was considering the membership back when they had the exclusive Jumbo GI Joe Grunt figure but could never pull the trigger. I don't know that it's worth it if all I want is Boba Fett there.

    Well you can get the Bib Fortuna for free with a gold membership which is $80. You also get a $30 and $10 coupon plus a 10% discount. If you like Jumbos you get your moneys worth.

    That Yoda looks like he should have a sound chip that says "May the Shwartz be with you." As a kid I also flipped real fast through the yoda parts in my "Art of Empire Strikes Back" book because the concept yodas always freaked me out (except Gnome Yoda... that guy was pretty awesome)

    Wow, this takes me back to those summer days back in the early 80s when I read those great Star Wars dailies illustrated by Al Williamson. He always drew Yoda that way: some of his panels in later stories had to be re-drawn in order to incorporate the revised (cinematic) Yoda design.

    Not sure I would want to look at that thing every day, but I appreciate the bit of nostalgia!

    Hey, I found the dailies reprinted in hardcover!
