Gentle Giant Ltd. Expands to Include Gentle Giant Toys

BURBANK, Calif., Feb. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentle Giant Ltd./3D Systems is excited to announce our new mass market collectible toy division Gentle Giant Toys.  Gentle Giant Ltd. have been known as an industry leader in the high-end collectibles market for almost 2 decades, and were pioneers in using digital scans and data to make collector consumer products.   Gentle Giant Toys is proud to announce the first seven new mass-market collectible toy lines!

Gentle Giant Toys is a new division branding itself independently from Gentle Giant Ltd. with a new logo, new website and new social media handles.  "These fun new, lines deserve a fun, new logo. The new logo tells a story and is more playful and approachable," said Daniel Pickett, Marketing Manager for Gentle Giant Toys. "The Giant represents the company's history and expertise in the world of authentic replication. The Butterfly is the embodiment of the artistic and innovative style ingrained into its consumer products."

"We are excited at the prospect of taking our almost two decades of experience and applying the same care, craftsmanship and attention to detail to these lower price-point collectible toy lines: same way we treat our high-end resin pieces," said Dev Gilmore, Director of Creative and Licensing of Gentle Giant Ltd.

"We've had a lot of fun making our 1:6th scale collectibles, life-size monuments and even larger than life pieces, but the great thing about digital sculpting is that the product can be any size! So, we are taking it down a few notches to be fun, compact and awesome so you can build new collections quickly, without having to look at adding a wing onto your house for them," said Ashly Powell Director of Product Development.

Bust-Ups – One of our most popular lines returns for a new generation. Bust-Ups are pre-painted, snap together mystery model kits. You collect them, build them and display them!   These eye-catching miniature models allow you to re-create some of your favorite moments from the most successful science fiction and comic book franchises of all time!
