Gentle Giant announces their 2013 Premier Guild Membership program and it includes a few pieces of Star Wars awesomeness, like a Jumbo Kenner "First Shot" Rocket Firing Boba Fett prototype!

Premier Guild membership has its benefits and one of them is skipping the lines at Celebration VI in Orlando and pre-order the exclusive Jumbo Vintage Lando Calrissian and Clone Trooper Lieutenant statue. You can also pre-order this year's Holiday exclusive 2 pack of Jar Jar Binks and Wald!

Gentle Giant updates their blog with photos of a fully painted  Rebel Fleet Trooper and digital sculpt of the Republic Commando Mini Busts. Both are Premier Guild exclusives slated for release later this year.

Gentle Giant releases their solicititations for Star Wars items slated in the 4th Quarter. Yoda joins the Jumbo Vintage line-up and looks fantastic with Gentle Giant closely replicating the soft goods material of the original Kenner figure. An orange snake version is planned for general release while a brown snake variant is scheduled to be a Premier Guild exclusive.

Gentle Giant has posted a digital sculpt of their forthcoming PGM exclusive Rebel Fleet Trooper minibust on their Facebook page. It's looking good so far and is sure destined not to "choke".

Gentle Giant will be releasing a Deluxe Edition of their upcoming General Veers minibust exclusively for Premier Guild Members. The Deluxe edition will feature an interchangeable head and removable armor plate for a price of $85.

Gentle Giant has opened up enrollment for their 2012 Premier Guild Membership. Membership for 2012 is $70. Your choice for the Star Wars gift this year include a Rebel Fleet Trooper minibust, a Republic Commando minibust with Light Up Visor, and a Kenner Jumbo Vintage Gamorrean Guard.
