Gentle Giant First Order Flametrooper
WOW at $120.00 a piece these sure aint cheap, I bought my first mini
bust about 8 years ago at the Fan Expo and it cost me $50.00 Canadian, I
think Gentle Giant better start taking it easy with there pricing as
its getting a bit out of hand. That said I have to admit the quality is
second to none. Gentle Giant Ltd. is about to release the all-new
characters
from Star Wars: Episode 7, The Force Awakens.
Gentle Giant Ltd. announces the next of its amazing mini busts from The
Force Awakens with the First Order Flame-trooper!
These foot soldiers of the New Order have one purpose: Turn anything
related to The Resistance into ashes!
Designed, modeled and prototyped using top of the line 3D technology,
this 1:6 scale mini bust represents the next of our new collection from
the ongoing Star Wars saga. Each mini bust is hand cast, hand painted
and hand numbered with a limited edition certificate of authenticity.
The Exorcist - Press Release Package
Picked
this up this weekend for $20.00 from Retro Rare collectables, an original studio-issued
press kit for the 2000 re-release of William Peter Blatty's THE EXORCIST
(1973) directed by William Friedkin and starring Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow
and Linda Blair!! Comes with original presentation folder, production
notes booklet, cast and crew bio booklets, and four (4) 8x10 BW
publicity stills all packed in original Warner Brothers studio folder.
Very happy to find this. Going to get Linda Blair to sign it at the end
of the month. Press kits like this one are pretty much a thing of the past
as studios have adopted cheaper CD-Rom press kits as the preferred
method of publicity. And in some cases, web-only based press kits.
Bottom line - traditional press kits such as these, with 8x10 stills
and/or slides are becoming increasingly more scarce as time goes on and
as a result, much more collectible and valuable.
