I believe 2 of them have been solicited so far in Diamond Previews. I want to say Dorothy & The Wicked Witch. With the way GG ships, they'll probably be out by next summer.

Not that they're trouble with shipping.... A) They solicit product WAY in advance and B) They ship slow from their direct purchases

They certainly were amazing, and the first of the GG busts that don't have awful bases (IMO); I want these for my daughter's room.

Images of the line can be found here!

I believe the first two releases, 'Dorothy' and the 'Wicked Witch', are scheduled for early 2009.

Brilliant sculpts even if it is from unreliable GG. The likenesses are just spot on, and guess what, they are showing all of the main characters instead of taking 5 years. I think they are 1:3 scale or something. GG should do more like this though. I plan on getting the entire line for somewhere, maybe the movie room or my wife's Barbie room. WoOz is just an amazingly timeless classic. Unless there is a crazy high edition size I think these will go up quite a bit in value in the ensuing years.
