WarMachine630x394_REVISED

From the screen to your shelf, Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you the 2013 Premier Guild Exclusive WAR MACHINE Mini Bust! Who says hanging out with Tony Stark doesn’t have its perks? Jim “Rhody” Rhodes (played by Don Cheadle) is Tony’s Air Force Liason and the closest thing he can call a friend. In Iron Man 2, Tony gave Rhody his own heavy weapons-focused set of Iron Man armor, codenamed War Machine. Now, War Machine will stand side-by-side with Iron Man as they do battle with The Mandarin in 2013′s Iron Man 3!

I’ve Got the Power !

Just like they were when you were a kid, only BIGGER! Gentle Giant continues on with their new line of vintage Star Wars Action figure reproductions with the release of this classic Power Droid!!Digitally scanned from mint 3 3/4” Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 7 1/2” tall. Nothing has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure is fully articulated with “clicking” leg movement faithfully reproduced to be just like the original. That’s not all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1977, Star Wars inspired blister card, featuring original front and “21 back” artwork, in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display!


Here are some 3d model mappings of how the Power droid was designed as well as how it is put together.

Sucker Punch Colossal Samurai Statue

Hey Collectors !

Here are the handling and assembly guide to our new recent release the “Sucker Punch Colossal Samurai Statue”. Every bit as massive in polystone as it is on screen .Representing the first obstacles in her quest for freedom, this gigantic warrior and its two brethren were quickly dispatched by Babydoll as she began to come into her true power. Now, this behemoth joins the rest of our line of 18″ scale statues. Even though this is one of our larger pieces we have produced it is still very delicate. Please Read the instructions and handle with care.
