StarWars.com announces that Gentle Giant Studios is offering a summer convention exclusive mini bust, and a chance for a lucky fan to get "cloned" by their laser scanning equipment.
Gentle Giant will produce a clone trooper lieutenant with blue rank stripes as a summer 2003 convention exclusive, available at San Diego Comic-Con International and WizardWorld Chicago. The blue trooper mini bust varies from the other troopers in that it won't have interchangeable parts, but it will be priced lower to reflect this. The trooper is limited to only 1,000 pieces and will only be available at these two conventions.
Attendees at Comic-Con will have a chance to "get cloned." One lucky edition number from all the blue clone trooper mini busts sold at the show will be drawn at random on Comic-Con's final day. The owner of that bust will be scanned by Gentle Giant, and will receive a one-of-a-kind clone trooper mini-bust with his or her head atop the standard body.
