While I understand the appeal to exclusives and being a completionist, the fact that this bust even exists is just mind boggling to me, and an SDCC exclusive to boot. I have to wonder who at Gentle Giant thought that this would be a great idea and more so, who at Comic Con is actually going to shell out that kind of money to buy this? Is there really that much of an outcry and demand for an obese X-wing pilot who was only in about 7 seconds of the movie?

I really scratch my head when companies put out extremely niche products like this. The oversized figure is cool, as it is essentially a giant and elaborate piece of wall art, but the bust?...It just seems like a giant attempt to troll people, and it seems like they are certain to lose more money than they would make from this thing. Why make it at all? *shrugs shoulders...
