Darth Vader Meet the Maker Holiday 2011 Deluxe Mini Bust

Looks like the PGM version of the Vader bust shown at SDCC can be displayed with dove (holiday), with C-3PO's head, or with an empty hand! He's up for pre-order now. I like it!!

Quote:
The Gentle Giant Holiday Bust has become quite a tradition. 2011 brings collectors of this rare line a new mini bust based on the 2010 LucasFilm holiday greeting card featuring Darth Vader releasing a white dove.

For the rest of the year, collectors can display this bust without the dove in Vader’s outstretched left hand, thus transforming the piece to more accurately reflect the pivotal scene from The Empire Strikes Back, as Vader reveals his paternal connection to the wounded rebel, -Luke Skywalker.

Additionally, members of the Gentle Giant Premier Guild will have the opportunity to order the deluxe version of the mini-bust with an interchangeable Vader hand holding C-3PO’s disembodied head. -Inspired from the Dark Horse comic, and also reprinted and packaged with the bust, -is the complete “Thank the Maker” story from Star Wars Tales #6, giving a close look at what truly happened to C-3PO on that fateful day in Cloud City.

Boasting three pose variations and an exclusive reprint comic, this film accurate 1/6th scale rendition of the infamous dark lord comes hand numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity and is a strictly limited edition collectible, only from Gentle Giant LTD.

It's the dove - It's based off of an actual Lucas Film holiday card that was sent out.

Since i started collecting again i have some catching up to do, this is one of those i still 'need', however they are pretty expensive.

I do not care for the C3PO and pidgeon pose.

What do you guys think, is this worth $250+ dollar?

Anyone care to put up some good pictures please?
