No surprise--they have been digging their own grave for a while now.

And just when you thought Indy fans couldn't get banged any deeper in the ass, they cancel the bustups they've been showing off for like 2 years now, and this means the end for that Indy/Henry motorcycle diorama no doubt.

Was the Faun from Pan's Labyrinth I was worried about

hopefully someone else will get the license

 

[tomandshell]

The bust ups and classics are junk. Maybe they are going to try and salvage things by concentrating on a smaller slate of quality busts and statues and stop overextending themselves with junk. I would keep buying Potter busts for a while yet.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Looks like a load of boring stuff to me, classic bust, cuztoms and bust-ups. Would not own any of this stuff anyway.

 

[tomandshell]

Kind of glad the animated Fett and Han in carbonite maquette wasn't on the list. Although I don't expect to see many more animated pieces from them if that one does squeak through.

10598 Jar Jar Binks Classics bust

Why, I ask........WHY?

Glad to see their horror stuff isnt up there.

 

[Darth Waller]

Kustomz, Classics Busts and Bust-Ups are all crap anyway.

 

[KitFisto]

Mostly bust ups and Classics....good choice to bag bad lines.

Chop Top bust is on that list.

Sign of the times, sign of the times. I think most collectors are refocusing and thinning their collections, Gentle Giant is no different. Just cutting out the fat.

 

[Havok]

It'll be too bad if they do go under. I'm just now starting to get into their Animaquettes, but at least the ones I want are already released. I know people have said their customer service is bad, but it would still be a shame. Hopefully they manage to stay afloat.

 

[Starkiller]

Kustomz, Classics Busts and Bust-Ups are all crap anyway.

Agreed. It's all crap, I said it was a bad idea before they even released. GG should stick to mini-busts, statues, and maquettes if they wanna make any money and gain more fans.

 

[galactiboy]

I figured the Pan's Labyrinth stuff would have been on there... maybe they'll still be made.

 

[Darth_Pain]

Bye, bye Gentle Giant.
