Gentle Giant's Final SDCC 2013 Exclusive

Gentle Giant revealed their final 2013 SDCC Exclusive which is the Amazing Spider-Ham Peter Porker Mini Bust. Pre-orders are open for PGM. $45. Limited to 500.
"Peter Porker was born a spider (simply named Peter). He resided in the basement lab of May Porker, a slightly goofy animal scientist who had created "the world's first atomic powered hairdryer," hoping that "the introduction of nuclear fusion into America's beauty salons" would "revolutionize the hair care industry". After dousing her head with water and activating the dryer, May Porker accidentally irradiated herself, and in a fit of delusion, bit Peter, who then found himself transformed into an anthropomorphic swine much like May Porker herself. Running from the Porker homestead disoriented, Peter soon came to realize that he still retained a spider's abilities. That night, Peter took a solemn vow to use his abilities to fight evil, becoming THE AMAZING SPIDER-HAM!!!

Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you The Amazing Spider-Ham Mini Bust! Digitally sculpted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd., this bust captures the essence of the world’s most famous anthropomorphic pig with spider abilities in a way unlike any other. This striking, hand painted bust is available exclusively at San Diego Comic Con 2013. Each limited edition bust is individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity"
