Up To Half Off Action Figures, Busts, and Statues During Gentle Giant Labor Day Sale

I am not a statue or bust collector, but Gentle Giant has lots of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Indiana Jones items up for sale. For me, the gems of the sale are the Hellboy and Abe action figures from the animated movies. They come with lots of accessories, have great articulation, and at $8.50 each are a real steal.

They’ve also got a couple of Halo Kubrick items. I know some folks who go crazy over these, but they’re normally a little too pricey for me.

For example, at the Mattel DC Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, a very upset fan was lamenting the lack of availability of Killer Moth.  Well, upset fan, Killer Moth is on sale right now for $8.80!  Buy him now!  No more tears!

With sales like these, things sell out quickly, so don’t procrastinate!
