Gentle Giant LTD Launches a New Star Wars Mini-Bust for St. Patrick’s Day

It’s time to go green! Once again, St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, a day for celebration of Irish culture, most visibly by the wearing of the green! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Gentle Giant LTD is proud to introduce their newest 1/6 Scale Star Wars mini-bust, the green-skinned Gamorrean Guard!
