Hmmmmmmm...

Right when I was thinking about getting the Diamond 1/2 Rocketeer bust. This looks sharp...sharper than the diamond piece. How much they asking?

$150 on their website, but get it while you can, as it says last chance to get it.......

This "Gentle Giant" bust looks to be the exact same one that Diamond put out

https://www.amazon.com/DIAMOND-SELEC...0033494&sr=8-1

After having my opinion of busts turned 180 degrees around by the recent excellent SS Wonder Woman, this one has some huge appeal to me.

For a hunk of resin though, I thought this looked like a much better deal-

https://www.amazon.com/DIAMOND-SELEC...d-games&sr=1-1

work some LEDs in there and the damn thing really pops!
I do love the look of the bust, but for only $50 shipped, this isn't bad at all, and makes it hard for me to justify spending almost three times that on a bust roughly the same size.

Just received the ^ gallery figure from Amazon and can confirm this thing is probably the best value Rocketeer piece out there.

Agreed!
Got mine too from Amazon and it’s a Fantastic sub $50 Rocketeer statue. The old Electric Tiki Statue is much nicer, but for under $50 this thing is untouchable.

There's a youtube video up of a pre-release unboxing for the Diamond Legends in 3D version of this bust (I'm still unclear as to what the difference between brands is as they look identical to me).

I noticed the pin striping on the base looked amateurishly done, but I still feel very drawn to this.

Amazon has it for $115 at the moment and with stim checks coming soon...

Diamond owns Gentle Giant collectibles so I think it is just the same product.

Ah. Surprised to find that out as I'd been under the assumption GG was under the umbrella of a larger, more tech based company.

Good to know now.

Thanks JD.
