“My lord, I’ve reached the main power generators. The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.”

The chilling words that spelled the doom of the Rebel Base on Hoth were uttered by none other than General Maximilian Veers, fanatical Imperial Officer and brilliant tactician. A career soldier with skill unmatched at piloting the Empire’s feared AT-AT Walkers, Veers rose quickly through the ranks to become one of the youngest, and most dangerous, Major Generals serving Lord Vader. His victory on Hoth only served to establish his legend.

This limited edition 1/6-scale mini-bust is cast in high quality polystone and is hand numbered with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. Displayed here in his AT-AT piloting armor, the General Veers Mini Bust is the perfect addition to any true Star Wars fan’s collection.

License: Star Wars
Item Number: 80210
UPC: 8-71810-00897-1
Height: 5” and 5.5”
Release Date: Spring 2012

Recapture the magic of one of the most exciting and adrenaline-triggering sequences in The Phantom Menace, the Boonta Eve Podrace, with the Sebulba & Young Anakin Mini Bust 2 Pack! Sebulba, the villainous and corrupt Dug podracer, believed that he was predestined to win the race with his usual methods of reckless racing and out-and-out cheating. Never did he expect to lose, much less to a child. Perhaps knowing that the young boy that won the race and destroyed his racing pod grew up to become the Dark Lord of the Sith takes a little sting out of the defeat? Then again, perhaps not…

These digitally sculpted figures have been skillfully crafted by Gentle Giant’s top artisans and brought to life in high quality polystone. Each individually numbered and hand-painted pair comes with a matching numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
