I'm at the point in my illustrious mothering career that allows me to freely hand out stuff to my older ones, yet I still find it difficult to track down good comics for the 8 year old. The baby Captain America was given the most spotlight at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, so I suspect he’d be the first of these mini-statues to go up for pre-order (although I would certainly not mind if Gentle Giant skipped Cap for now and went straight to Thanos).It's fun to share the books you love with your kids (or nieces, nephews, close friend's etc.), but sometimes it can be hard to find quality stuff for the younger set. The Baby Statues should be available online at BBTS and other online retailers.
reveals more details about this line and solicits the first of the Skottie Young baby mini-statues for pre-order (which I dearly hope will be before the end of 2015). I’ll post an update when Gentle Giant Ltd. This is a statue line that I instantly want to be a completist of, and at that price-point, I actually can be. on the Marvelicious Toys Podcast, the statues won’t release until 2016 and should retail for somewhere in the range of $45-$65. The Skottie Young Gentle Giant Marvel Baby statues currently have no set price or release date, as Gentle Giant brought the mini-statues to SDCC 2015 specifically to gauge interest in the pieces.Īccording to an interview with Gentle Giant Ltd. While I’m not the biggest fan of comic book Captain America or Iron Man in general, these particular interpretations of the characters are so cute and different from every other chibi iteration of the characters that I absolutely love them. And yes, I knew all these sources off the top of my head–because I own them.
Meanwhile, the Iron Man comes from the “Infinity #1” variant cover and the Captain America is based off of the “Giant-Size Little Marvel AvX #1” Ant-Man variant cover. It would have been amazing if Gentle Giant could have included the humongous throne for Thanos to sit in that he has in the original cover artwork, but I understand why they couldn’t (seeing as how doing so would have probably tripled the cover of this statue).
The baby Thanos holding a balloon statue is my favorite of the three, as it’s pulled from the “Thanos Rising #1” variant cover from a few years back, and is arguably the cutest rendition of Thanos ever. There were three Marvel Babies Skottie Young statues that were shown at the Gentle Giant booth at SDCC 2015: Thanos, Captain America and Iron Man. apparently knew what was lacking from my Marvel collecting life even better than I did! I really, truly never thought that the day would come when we’d be getting figurines of the Skottie Young Marvel Babies, but Gentle Giant Ltd. And one of the most popular Skottie Young themes is the Marvel Babies! So much so, that I regularly end up buying duplicates of my monthly Marvel comic books whenever there’s a Skottie Young variant cover.
