One could argue, and we definitely would, that Squirrelpool is the first piece in Gentle Giant's blossoming Marvel Universe collection. Sure, we know that it was offered at the same time as their Captain America: The First Avenger mini bust, but since that is based on a feature film character, Squirrelpool -who made his debut on the cover of The Mighty Thor #607- is the first printed Marvel character to be realized in the line. This mini bust was made available to attendees at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con and had a production run of only 500 pieces. When all is said and done, this piece may end up the diamond of the collection.
