Statue Groot & Rocket 1:4 Scale Statue (Gentle Giant)

[HODLr]

I guess if you order their stuff a lot it's worth it, but this is my one and only from them as I hate their bases. BBTS is $404 without having to pay $80 for the membership and the shipping is half of what GG is charging me. No I won't have the little groot, but I'm saving around $100.

I could not find it on BBTS site. Where is it? Main page?

Edit: Found it. Guess it is a good deal for you.
I'm buying alot from GG, mainly to re-sell, so it pays for itself. This is how I manage to stay in this hobby and get to keep the items I really want....

Second item under Featured Preorders, main page.

The SDCC pics looked great but he ones on the site are bland. You guys think it'll look like the SDCC pics?

totally agree i see a huge difference and what was once a no-brainer is now requiring a lot of thought.

WTH is Speculative Fiction?

In any event - This can not come soon enough for me. Our favorite movie of the year, and we totally love the characters.
Size is a plus, gotta have a large Groot

Sucks that GG decided to restrict international shipping.

I'm pretty sure he ships internationally also..

He's redoing his website atm, he said the new site will accept payment plans which is cool....

it'll look better than the pics. i got the sdcc rocket bust and it looks amazing in real life.

Not to impressed with the pics but hoping a uk stockist will have this. Also height dimensions are 21 inches if that includes rocket then this is smaller than the spidey com

21" is pretty big for a 1:4 scale statue on a flat base. I believe GG Black Widow is only 18" tall

True but with the size of groot, even though he's leaning forward slightly I still would have expected this to be bigger. may just stick with the hot toys ones

I just got the Whisper variant statue. This is my first Gentle Giant piece. I must say that the statue is very impressive. It ranks up their with the best I have from Sideshow. Lurtz is still my favorite, but she is easily the best human paint job I have. If Gentle Giant puts the same quality work into this piece, it will turn out amazing.

at 21" that's 7'-0" tall in real life... how big was Groot in the movies?

Dave Batista is 6'5" so Groot looks to be over 7'.

 

[Adolfo]

even if hes 8ft tall standing straight up thats 24"...he's a little hunched too so 21" is close

 

[Asdf]

Sounds about right.

wow $400 for the pair? at the same quality level as honey trap? instant order. This is such an iconic pair, and it is similar to ironman in that movie vs comic is blurred and doesnt matter.

If sideshow made this it will be $600 and crap for paint/quality.

Clear base doesnt bother me at all, i actually like minimum base to put the focus on the statue itself, dont like "busy" bases unless it is a focus too like the judge dredd ex
