Last month it was announced that Diamond Select Toys was acquiring the assets of Gentle Giant, and today the first of the Gentle Giant exclusives for Star Wars Celebration were announced.
The two exclusives announced today are both from the Star Wars Rebels animated series, with Hera Syndulla, and Darth Maul each getting one release.
The Hera Syndulla piece is a 1:6 scale resin bust which will retail for $120.00, while the Maul release is a 1:8 scale Collector’s Gallery statue which will run you $200.00.
After having seen the Maul piece, I’m kinda sad I’m not going to the show, as it’s a gorgeous looking piece that shows off his Force-constructed spider legs.
Both releases will be available at the Diamond Select Toys/Gentle Giant Ltd. booth during Star Wars Celebration (McCormick Place in Chicago, IL), but Star Wars Premier Guild members can pre-order the busts starting on March 25.

New Star Wars Exclusives Coming to Celebration 2019!
Gentle Giant Ltd. Is traveling to Chicago, IL this month to attend Star Wars Celebration April 11-15, and they’re bringing two popular Clone Wars characters – Hera Syndulla and Darth Maul – as this year’s exclusive offerings!
The captain and heart of the Ghost crew, Hera Syndulla was a gifted pilot and leader. While Hera was a strong commander – and especially adept at dogfighting with TIE fighters – she was also warm and nurturing. The Twi’lek could bring out the best in her team, which consisted of very different personalities, making them believe in themselves, each other, and their struggle against the Empire. Hera will be made available as a 1:6 scale resin bust, for a price of $120.00.
A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed. Darth Maul will be depicted with his Force-constructed spider legs in a 1:8 scale Collector’s Gallery statue, available for $200.00.
Star Wars Premier Guild members will be able to pre-order the busts beginning March 25. All others can come by the Diamond Select Toys/Gentle Giant Ltd. booth between April 11 and 15th! See you in Chicago!
