Forbidden Planet presents: Gentle Giant Product Launch January 30, 2010

First, Gentle Giant brought us Commander Bly – then the Galactic Marine. Now, Forbidden Planet and Gentle Giant bring you: the Republic Commandos!

Over the years top toy and figure sculptors Gentle Giant have received many requests for the Delta Squad Clone Troopers from the Lucasarts video game Republic Commando. Now, they make those wishes come true!

And you can be a part of the worldwide Republic Commando Invasion. Each of the four Commandos is being launched at ONE place in the world – we will be launching the London figure, the bust 'Sev', on 30th January. We will also have very limited amounts of the other three – “Boss’ (USA), ‘Fixer’ (Japan) and ‘Scorch’ (the Netherlands).

Plus, you can meet the Gentle Giant himself, Karl Meyer, there to sign these incredibly limited edition pieces.

There will be free Star Wars bust-ups and prize draws for Gentle Giant goodies. Randomly selected winners will have their features digitally scanned – and one lucky winner will have their head placed upon a totally unique Star Wars bust!
