Toy Fair 2014: Gentle Giant Takes on Marvel Comics

Toy Fair is an event for industry folks, retailers and press. Because of the exclusivity of the event, the toy loving public relies on the press to bring back the images and info that will keep them up nights, wondering how they will explain to their loved ones that they absolutely needed that 1:6th scaled Keaton Batman Batmobile for a paltry 900 dollars. Since Toy Fair exists on the internet for all of you at home, we said screw it, let's invite our friends who don't take the trip to New York to get in on the fun. ...And that's when Gentle Giant reps contacted me before I had the chance to email them. THEY WERE LISTENING. Spooky.

Let's dive right into our visit with Gentle Giant, starting with their newest Marvel Comics offerings...

Straight off the screen from 2014’s The Winter Soldier, it’s Captain America! Boldly depicted in the specialized S.H.I.E.L.D.-issue stealth featured in the film , The Captain America Winter Soldier Statue is based on the actual digital scan data of actor Chris Evans, his costumes and props, making it the most authentic and screen-accurate collectable available.

A perfect companion piece to our Black Widow Statue, the 18" Scale Captain America Winter Soldier Statue is a must-have for fans and collectors alike!

Within the Marvel Multiverse is an alternate Earth designated Earth 2149, which contains alternate versions of Marvel superheroes.

Daredevil Mini Bust PGM 2014 Gift:

Scale: 1:6 - Dimensions: 3.25” W x 7” D x 6.75” H - Q4 2014 Release - $80
As a boy, Matt Murdock saved a man from being hit by a truck. Unfortunately for him, the truck crashed and spilled its cargo of extremely toxic chemicals into his face. He awoke in the hospital blind from the toxins, but soon learned that his other senses were amplified as a result of his loss of sight. The toxins enhanced his senses even further, giving him a new, preternatural radar-like sense using sounds around him. With his newfound abilities boosting his already reckless nature, Matt Murdock grew up to become DAREDEVIL, THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR!

Digitally sculpted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Studios, the Daredevil Mini Bust truly captures the essence of the blind hero of Hell’s Kitchen. From the cable in his custom billy club, to the stitching on his uniform, no detail has been overlooked. Each limited edition hand-painted polystone mini bust comes individually numbered and is paired with a matching certificate of authenticity. Make Mine Marvel!











Spider-Man Red and Blue Mini Bust:

Scale 1:6 - Q2 2014 Release - $80
Few heroes are as synonymous with Marvel as Spider-Man. For over 50 years now, the Wall-Crawler has dispensed his unique form of wise-cracking, webbed justice on the streets of New York and throughout the Marvel Universe. Although he has worn many different uniforms over the years, the classic red-and-blue suit will always be the first thing fans imagine when they think of Spider-Man.

Now, Gentle Giant is proud to honor that heritage with the Spider-Man Mini Bust! Digitally sculpted, then cold-cast in the highest quality poly-stone and hand-painted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant, this limited edition bust captures the essence of Peter Parker’s alter-ego perfectly. Each piece comes individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity. Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!











The Gentle Giant Deadpool X-Force Mini-Bust (Item Code: JAN142016, SRP: $89.00, pg. 463) is a 1/6 scale mini-bust displaying Deadpool in his grey X-Force costume, geared with guns, grenades and Samurai swords, aiming his gun at anyone who comes close. The detailed polystone bust features Deadpool’s rippling muscles, killer weapons, masked disguise, and iconic red weapon belt that make him revered as one of the most famous anti-heroes. Have Deadpool stare down your enemies by featuring the hand painted, mini bust in your office, home or anywhere you want to show off your fandom for Deadpool.

The Deadpool mini bust is a limited edition version of the Gentle Giant’s previously released bust that is only available to pre-order through PREVIEWS. To ensure you get your own Deadpool bust, pre-order now at your local comic shop. Find a comic shop at www.comicshoplocator.com.
