Gentle Giant Looms Over SDCC With Exclusives

The guys (and gals?) over at Gentle Giant have a slew of San Diego releases for next week. First up is:

Kustomz Biker Scout and TIE Fighter - Basically, if Ed “Big Daddy” Roth had his way with Star Wars, you’d have these guys. Speederbike and clone get the hot rod treatment with some great details including the camo gloves and fighter plane style shark nose. Meanwhile, the TIE Fighter pilot goes Red Baron and gets a hot rod gear shifter. They’re about 10 inches tall, which is a solid size for a figure like this. There’s only 500 of each, and going for about $65.

30 Days of Night Marlow and Iris figures - These 6 inch figures are pretty rad looking. In addition to a bloody, tattered, and gored up figure, you get the base (with decapitated head), a bloody mouse pad (for you, not the figure), and certain random figures will be lucky enough to include a patch that says either the Barrow Sherriff Department or Alaska Fire Marshall. Marlow and Iris are going for $30 each and are limited to 500.

So those were the coolest things I saw from Gentle Giant.  There’s a couple other tricks up their sleeves including a Tom Bombadil (for other LOTR geeks that were pissed he wasn’t in the movies), Weasley Bros., and Anakin Bust, and an Indiana Jones Crate Paperweight.
