Gentle Giant Ltd. gained prominence as the hype for Episode II ramped up and they've made scores of statues,
maquettes, and other sculptures as one of the most successful modern licensees of the Star Wars brand. The most popular of their lines is the mini-bust and the Empire Strikes Back has been well-represented. The bust below is a variant of a 2006
Chewbacca released two years later as a PX Previews exclusive.
The head sculpt has been changed and he now sports a breathing apparatus as seen when Han, Leia, and
Chewbacca venture out of the Millennium Falcon while in the belly of the Space Slug. In the photo you'll also see the magnetic-mouthed m
ynock that was exclusive to Sideshow Toys'
Bespin Han Solo sixth-scale figure. A matching
Mynock Hunt Leia is due later this year.
