AFX-Exclusive Coruscant Trooper Bust

GENTLE GIANT AND ACTION FIGURE XPRESS EXECUTE ORDER 66!

December 2006 - This past summer Star Wars fans were treated to four Gentle Giant Ltd. Clone Trooper resin mini busts from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith - Clone Trooper (white), Utapau Trooper (orange), 501st Special Ops Trooper (blue), and the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Shock Trooper (red). Now fans can extend their army with the AFXclusive 10-Year Anniversary release Coruscant Trooper (gray)!

This exclusive mini bust will be limited to just 2,500 pieces worldwide and as a bonus, there will be an exclusive interchangeable head of the unmasked Clone Jango Fett - never before offered with any previous Clone Trooper mini bust!

Patrick Wang, President of Action Figure Xpress (AFX) commented "Fans can't seem to get enough of the Clone Troopers and we are pleased to be able to offer a new and very cool edition to their collection. Gentle Giant's line of Star Wars mini busts has become the benchmark, and we're sure the Coruscant Clone Trooper will be a huge hit with the Star Wars community."

"Action Figure Xpress has been a huge supporter of Gentle Giant Ltd. since the beginning and we are extremely happy to help Pat and his crew celebrate 10 years of great service," said Eric Lyga, Director of Product Development for Gentle Giant Ltd. "We were excited by the suggestion from AFX to include the variant head with this piece, to differentiate it from previous releases and offer something unique to AFX's customers."
