Sideshow Collectibles Gamorrean Guard Bust
Now up for pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles is the life-size Gamorrean Guard Bust from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Standing over 17″ tall, each bust is highly detailed, individually painted and finished. The level of detail is really incredible, and perhaps a bit too detailed. Really, do we need the drool?
The estimated ship date is second quarter of 2010. Like all the other life-size busts from Sideshow Collectibles, this will be a limited edition piece, though the final number has not yet been determined.
Available for pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles. Retail price $499.99
