Gentle Giant’s Animated Dewback Statue Up for Pre-Orders
This is clearly the cutest Dewback statue ever created. Gentle Giant (website, Twitter) has announced their new Sandtrooper on Dewback Animated Maquette and while I rarely squeal like a little girl I almost did as I mashed the “add to cart” button.
The statue’s not expected until the second quarter of 2013, but something this cute and massive just had to be mine the instant I knew that it existed. Yes, this will look amazing with the Dewback statue* I already have in my office at work (mentioned here).

I love this maquette too, but not for the ridiculous price of $399. I sure hope GG decides that they can make some money on other products too, and decide to lower the price. I love the animated line and have most of the statues ever released (in the Original Trilogy and Clone Wars lines). It’s too bad that I will have to skip such a nice one as this. What a shame!
@WOW – I don’t think the $400 is all that out of line for their run sizes and the statue size. These things are pretty expensive to manufacture and ship. (Freight costs, like raw materials costs, continue to climb. I deal with this constantly at work.) But yeah, I can see where the price does seriously limit the number of people who can buy one.
The membership at GG is also a good way to save a little.
