As we find every year, Gentle Giant is back again next week with several great exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con 2015–something for everyone.  The finest pieces come from Marvel Studios’ new Ant-Man film and classic Star Wars characters.  The Ant-Man sculpt, shown above, is a top-notch rendering of Paul Rudd’s character in costume.  This statue is limited to only 500 pieces.  It is 4.25 inches tall–not ant sized but big enough to appreciate.

Next is this stunning bust of the prototype for Boba Fett.  Every version of Boba Fett that gets turned into a toy or collectible simply amazes, and this all white version just makes us all want to see this character in action.

Deadpool fans will appreciate this interpretation of Deadpool by Gentle Giant artists.  It’s Deadpool as he may have looked in Secret Wars.  This figure stands 12 inches tall.

Collectors of Gentle Giant’s ongoing 12-inch line of blown-up classic Kenner 3 3/4 inch action figures have another chance to get the sold out Boba Fett.  This time the bounty hunter appears on a replica of his rare card from the animated show Droids.  It also includes a large-sized collectors coin.   You won’t believe how cool this figure is until you get this giant collectible in-hand.

Also from Star Wars Droids in the same jumbo format as Boba is the R2-D2 figure, also on Droids card, including the cartoony design based on the original Kenner version only seen in the animated series.

Following the trend of the Star Wars jumbo action figures, G.I. Joe is releasing a giant version of its 3 3/4-inch line with its own jumbo, 12-inch Joe.

Last but not least is the small-sized series two-pack of Snake Eyes and Rock ‘n’ Roll.  If you collected these as a kid, you’ll want to add these to your set.

San Diego Comic-Con opens Wednesday.  Look for these figures at Gentle Giant’s Booth #3513 through Sunday.
