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

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.

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!

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 .
