A lot of people thought Gentle Giant’s showing was lame this year because the didn’t show as much new stuff. I agree with that to a certain extent, but I do think that they showed a lot of stuff that had not been shown to the public before.
Looking back on it, I have to wonder what direction Gentle Giant will go in, based on what they have done so far this year and what they showed at SDCC. What got them where they are is mini busts and a little license called Star Wars. It seems there aren’t that many new Star Wars busts coming up, and there were way too many exclusives this year. In addition, with all the new licenses and formats, are they trying to do too much and get away from what made them popular to start with? What do you think?
