Hi Chris! Welcome to the site and I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to our readers. If you need anything, please let me know.

Ok, guess I'll kick this off. :)

With the Jumbo Star Wars figures, are there any Kenner era characters or concepts that are off limits?

Thanks.

Thanks for having me ! I'm glad that i can start a Q&A on your awesome forum . If i do need anything i will let you know.


First question sweet ! This line is one of our most popular ones we have. i wouldnt say that there is anything off limits. So far we are focusing on the original Star Wars releases and moving on from there. Are there certain characters or concepts that you would like to see in the future? We always love to hear suggestions .

One of the things I've always liked are the exclusive variants for the Jumbo Star Wars line. Be it a play on the classic packaging errors (like you did with Yak Face) or the figure variants (like the small head Han Solo).

I'm not sure if it's been done in the past, but have you ever thought about doing the double telescoping lightsaber variants?

Hi Chris!

Diamond Select has said that they can only make Marvel Zombies Villains as Minimates now and not heroes. Is that the same for you guys and the Marvel Zombies busts?

Hello Chris! Tell that little jerk Van Wickler I say hello. lol

We all know what outstanding work GG does for companies doing action figures. Star Wars Black? Works of art. My question is: Why doesn't GG branch out on its' own and make action figures directly themselves?

Thanks!

We try and get as close to the mark as we can with those little details.
I think we only have had the regular telescope saber kenner figures (Darth Vader and Obi wan) But that doesnt mean we wont be able to do them in the future.




Yes! A few years ago Marvel decided to put a hold on the Marvel Zombies characters in regards to consumer products. The opinion at the time was that they didn’t want children playing with “dead” versions of their heroes. Recently, Marvel has chosen to “resurrect” the Marvel Zombies Villains and has given select companies like Gentle Giant and Diamond the opportunity to be creative and develop some new products for the diehard fan base.

It comes down to tooling, distribution and sales. We are a small company. Smaller than most people realize. We invest mostly in artists and technology not armies of sales people and fancy ads. We leave that to the big guys who sell at Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Target. They do a better job at all that than we can. We are not a mass market company, we try to stay focused. We know that we can sell limited edition pieces in small quantities, and we have to cover costs. At the end of the day, we just like to make cool stuff and hope that people like it as much as we did making it. Thanks for the compliment, you should see what we are working on now ;).

Hi Chris, welcome from Peru! I got a few questions about "Walking Dead logo bookends".
How much does it weight? or aproximately... I mean, I want to make sure if that's enough to hold books (big books) or maybe is for comics and light stuff. Also I want to make sure if this is a one-piece or two-pieces set because I've seen both answers and nobody seems to be totally sure.
PS. Currently the item is "Unavailable" in the site of Gentle Giant, is it Sold Out? Where else can I find it?
Thanks a lot bro!

I can actually answer that for you (lol).

The Walking Dead Logo Bookends - The Walking Dead Statues

Big Bad Toy Store has them in stock. They say the weight is 5.04 LBS. They are also 6.75" tall, so they should hold some decent sized books.

Hi Chris. I know that the relative size of the Jumbo Kenner Star Wars figures can make certain items unlikely. However, with the massive Wampa (seriously awesome) announced, is there any possibility of the smaller (I guess that's a relative term) vehicles such as a Landspeeder?

Thanks again.

You got all the sizing right ! The Walking Dead Bookends is a two part set. So there will be two sides. You should also check out entertainment earth as well i think they still some left.


I think its a possibility in the future. but currently right now we are sticking to making the original figures first. Funny, that questions is getting asked a lot more frequently as of late and the development team has heard the requests.
