Statue Gentle Giant 18" Black Widow - Winter Soldier

[CallMeTheDoctor]

This is the beautiful thing abt customs...so many possibilities

Only problem is it leads to using more funds and having new ideas for customs!

Personally, not a massive fan of the clear bases...I'm more into a dioramic base - similar to what we're seeing for all the XM pieces at the moment. For me, the base isn't just something that should be propping up the character but should be something that helps tell a story in our imagination that relates to the pose of the statue. Clear bases don't do this for me, hence why i'll be commissioning a custom base for Black Widow so that i'll be able to display her alongside the likes of my Avengers Hulk Maquette, the new Captain America Winter Soldier PF, the new Thor Dark World PF and of course the upcoming Iron Man MKVII Maquette

P.S. will be doing the same with the GG Groot and Rocket 1/4 scale statue...that piece bar the base looks sick!!!!

I would be interesting in that as well Andy if you are planning on selling some. It was an idea I was interested in doing as well but I am sure you will do a much better job of designing one with a sculpter as you have an eye for this sort of thing...Anyway put me on the PO list if it exists lol

I don't plan on getting a custom base, but I'm eager to see whatever you can make.

I'm also looking forward to seeing a custom base....I have her on PO...not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. What do you guys think of those comic con pics?

I was gonna pass on this until all this talk of custom bases. BBTS has you all to thank for my po. I'm definately a player if someone comes up with something and decides to knock out a few. I have Vampirella on po. too- I will stick her on a 2 by 4 before I look at that base.

She will look awesome when these bases get rolling. I have a sketchbook with several ideas lined up. Gonna try and get some quotes and see if I can commission either a few or stick with the one I will gladly get.

LoL at the Vampi haha. I know the feeling

They made me just want her even more. I really love how it is looking.

Hey guys, glad to see so many of you interested in custom bases for this statue...hopefully they'll be a few already on the go by the time I've received my GG BW cos according to my local retailer i'll be looking at November time delivery so until I receive her inhand then I can start getting the ball rolling on a custom base and I know just the man that will be able to pull it off to a top standard too

So has this started shipping yet?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Not that I'm aware of.

 

[epitaph04]

Someone said earlier that GG told them it'd ship some time this month. Hmmm

I tried canceling my order from SpecFiction shop but they haven't replied to any of my emails.

That was me. I had emailed them and their response said maybe this month. I'm not holding my breath. I imagine they'll tell people when they are about to be charged.

 

[DarthChrisDK]

I was given this information by my retailer back in January.

The suppliers have just advised that this is now expected to arrive late September 2014. All dates given are estimated and subject to change.

This was what I was informed via mail. A while back, though.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Gentle Giant is notorious for shipping their statues late. All I can say is that BW will ship when she ships.

Whenever that is.

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Yea, I'm not holding my breath. Although my wallet is having a sigh in relief.

 

[exodus]

Well, since she debuted at SDCC '13 and showed again in '14, then I think she is on track for an early '15 release. March, maybe, lol.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

With all these delays, I would hope this comes out probably October the latest.

 

[chrisdeeds]

I ordered mine from BBTS...This will be my first GG piece....any idea on how much later I would receive her?

 

[Viper2005]

GG put a post on their Facebook yestderday of the item status update.
It lists BW as being a Q4 release with ES not determined yet.
