Yeah, that's my case exactly. I love Will Harbottle's work at GG, so I don't even think about reselling any of his statues. But if I needed some cash so desperately I would have to sell some GG piece, I think it would be Black Widow or Artemisia, since they have already good price at market and they're kinda stand alone pieces, unlike HT or Sucker Punch girls.

Nobody knows except GG, and they ain't talking. Add to that Chris aka Dreamwalker has stepped down as their CS rep and we may not have any direct answers on these boards going forward unless the new rep decides to participate here like he did.

Nothing against this company but I don't know how they stay in business with lack of communication and how they promote there statues. To think it's been 4 years and still the set has not been made.

I posted about their poor communication back when Whisper kept getting delay after delay. I won't buy anymore Gentle Giant pieces. They are showing that they don't care about this line. That they think that people will buy these regardless. Which is a bad position to take now with so many other options. I'm glad I got Whisper for a cheap price. As no way do I want to fund their behavior.

While I'd agree they don't seem to care about the line anymore I'd disagree that they think people will buy them regardless. The microscopic edition sizes, which were set based on the amount of pre-orders, prove otherwise.

They are just too slow. They should have revealed the girls two years later when they actually started production on Whisper. That insanely long wait for the first piece was ridiculous and killed quite a bit of interest.

I am still interested in Fireball. Hopefully she gets produced.

It's cool for us that got them, having a ES in the 200's is pretty nice

Agreed. In today's world of massive edition sizes it's nice to own a collectible that's truly limited and isn't being mass produced.

A low ES is great.
I am just saying 2+ years for production of a piece will make a large number of collectors lose interest.
