Looks like GG popularity is going down

WOW we havent posted any new exciting thread on GG topic for awhile.
What the heck happen to GG.

I spent another 50 dollar to renew my PG membership and this is how GG treated us?

No good news, no good exciting exclusive piece.
I regret paying for the membership renewal fee

Oh well, ill just wait and hope they will come out something good.

I think alot of people quit collecting Gentle Giant after last year. I did.

GG has no one to blame but themselves if interest is waining. Their lack of comprehension as to what collectors actually want is to blame. They've spread themselves to thin over to many lines IMO making it easy for people to loose interest. I still collect most of their SW and LOTR MBs but I've stopped buying the Animated Maquettes altogether. Most of my money has been going to SS and BD.

BTW where are the MBs of the Jedi girls, Aayla and Shaak Ti?? Thought they were supposed to be out by now.

I sold off most of my Star Wars busts except for a couple key characters from the first 3 films. My wife bought me the Tusken Raider for Father's Day.

i dont blame the fans GG are extremely lame,i have not looked fondly on any of their pieces,i think they lack the lustre of their competitors,their stuff is mediocre to say the least.

If they keep on doing what they are doing right now, they will definitely lose their fans.

They do have that enormous 32" Angel of Death Maquette from the new Hellboy 2 movie up for preorder.

In any case, I will wait for a SS version. Hopfully!

I quit my membership to GENTLE GIANT and Bowen. No one has done anything new in a while and I am disappointed. Sideshow gets most of my business now.

I've been a buyer of GG products from the first Darth Vader bust up until now.
Sadly I'm loosing my patience with them.
I agree they have spread themselves too thin.
They also can't release anything on time it seems.
How about a little consistency?

at one time I probably had over 250 Gentle Giant busts. Now I have around 15 and that's because I haven't got around to selling them yet.
