Ask Gentle Giant

Rogue01, do you guys have any plans to add Madame Gorski to the lineup of SP girls? I think a lot of us would love that addition!

Hey Rogue - When is Rocket coming out?

Why not? Not allowed to? Don't want to compete with SS? The demand is there imo and honestly after the Amber I received I'd love to see you guys tackle 1/4 Marvel and give SS a little competition, they need it.

I don't know if she's on the roadmap or not. I'll ask.

I believe she'll be arriving late Q1 2012 (that's if everything goes according to schedule/plan from here on out).

I'd be interested to see how it would turn out, but I'm not sure the need is there. The current C-3PO statue looks pretty film-accurate to me. If you were going to do the two of them together I'd rather see a specific movie scene that offers a more unusual pose, like R2 repairing C-3PO in the climax of Empire or something.

In general, I'm of the opinion that there are too many new characters to tackle to justify revisiting the old favorites. I'd rather see more Expanded Universe characters like we're getting with Darth Talon and Shae Vizla. But I'm probably in the minority there, and I acknowledge that the core movie characters will always be the bread and butter of the line.

Hey guys! Just to let you all know, today's my last day in the office until Thursday, January 5th. I won't be on the boards and GG's social media accounts won't be updated until after I get back. Happy Holidays!

[Rogue01]

Hey all! I'm back! Hope everyone had a great holiday break! Let the questions resume! =)

[Vallos]

I have a mischievous question, that perhaps does not need to be answered. Nevertheless, how do you guys feel about Sideshow's entry into the Sucker Punch liscense - relaxed, angry, prideful (because your's is the one to beat), or indifferent?
