It first made a sneaky appearance at last month’s Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, but today Gentle Giant Ltd. has finally revealed their forthcoming Commander Saru Star Trek: Discovery bust, the first Trek product from the company, set to debut at San Diego Comic Con in July.
Available for $100 preorder now through June 8, this lifelike recreation of Doug Jones’ Kelpien character measures 4″ x 4″ x 7″ and will be shipping to customers after the late-July Comic Con event this summer.
From Gentle Giant:
Gentle Giant artists worked with production to use original concept models and authentic production files to accurately match and recreate the prosthetic makeup appliance worn by actor Doug Jones for this bold new mini bust.
This limited edition convention exclusive mini bust of first officer Lt. Saru is hand-cast, hand-painted and hand-numbered with a limited edition Certificate of Authenticity.
This product is the first Discovery release from the nascent licensee, but so far the detail on this Saru sculpture looks quite promising, and hopefully will be the first of many such items from Gentle Giant.
If you’re interested in bringing Saru back to your sector, you can preorder at Gentle Giant’s site — but hurry, because after June 8, you’ll only be able to order it at Gentle Giant’s booth (#3513) at San Diego Comic Con in July.
