One of Marvel?s most unique anti-heroes, Deadpool is a character whose origins are shrouded in mystery. Originally created to be a villain and foil to Cable and The New Mutants (later X-Force), the character?s devil-may-care attitude and flamboyant, ultraviolent tongue-in-cheek style caused him to soar in popularity with readers of all ages. This garnered the Merc With A Mouth his own series, which is known for it?s own original style blending action and dark comedy, as well as numerous spin-off books and guest appearances throughout the Marvel Universe. Where Deadpool goes, chaos and wisecracks follow.
Brought to life in high quality polystone and armed to the teeth, the Deadpool Mini Bust is no laughing matter. No feature has been overlooked with the creation of this piece, with Deadpool?s signature red and black costume and each of his weapons rendered in loving detail by the skilled sculptors at Gentle Giant Ltd.

Iron Man Classic Silver Mini Bust $89

Release Date: Spring 2012
Before the Red and Gold, there was Silver. In 1963, billionaire industrialist and genius weapons designer Tony Stark was critically wounded by a booby trap and captured by the Viet Cong during a trip to Vietnam where he was examining the effects of his technologies on the American war effort. He was saved by a fellow captive, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Ho Yinsen, who constructed a magnetic chest plate that kept dangerous shrapnel from piercing Tony?s heart. Faced with the choice of either constructing weapons for the Viet Cong or execution, Stark and Yinsen secretly concocted a plan to escape. Together, they took the munitions they were given and forged a suit of weaponized armor, inadvertently giving birth to the legacy of IRON MAN. Although technology has evolved over time and Stark has created a wide variety of Iron Man suits, this highly detailed, hand crafted polystone Mini Bust celebrates the original and is a must-have for any serious Iron Man fan.
Featuring a light-up Arc Reactor in the chest plate, this humongous limited edition 1/6th scale Mini-Bust is hand painted, individually numbered and comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. Make Mine Marvel!

Thor, The Norse God of Thunder, the King of Asgard and one of Earth?s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers! There are few in existence that can withstand his godly might, or a blow from his enchanted hammer, Mjolnir. Thor has come a long way since his debut fifty years ago in Journey Into Mystery #83, and although he hasn?t aged, he?s certainly grown more cautious, and now sports a suit of enchanted chainmail under his signature tunic. That?s why the talented artisans at Gentle Giant have worked diligently to replicate the intricate details of his armor and dramatic, flowing red cape on the new Modern Thor Mini Bust!
This limited edition 1/6th scale Mini Bust is almost larger than life! Hand crafted and cast in high quality polystone, each piece is hand painted individually numbered and comes with a matching certificate of authenticity. Avengers Assemble!
