    We were talking about it here a couple months ago:

    Wow! I really hope they get to make a vader and a chewy. I would so much love to have a 24" fist firing Chewbacca next to my Godzilla. I nabbed the image from rebelscum.com there is more info there.


    Fantastic toy, and it's great that they tried to stay true to the whole Jumbo Machinder aesthetic, right down to how it was manufactured. I usually don't spend that much on modern toys these days, but I'm reaaaaallly tempted by this guy.

        Wow! $300 is a big chunk of change.

        If it were just under $100 I'd be all over this.

          yeah $100 or under would be a reasonable price range for it.

            ah, Just saw it in the new juxtapoz magazine. It's hard to break a story around here.

                I can get a lot of hookers for $300.
                Oops. Gotta stop this impulsive posting....

                Seriously. Great toy, but they'd sell a ton of these at $100. Spread the joy people, let all of us get one!

                  Too pricey for a modern toy

                    I dunno.

                    I agree it is expensive. But so is a Hot Toys 1:6 movie character.
                    trading off. cloth goods and lifelike articulation for a 2 foot stormtrooper that shoots his fist at you. I can see some folks dropping the coin on this.

                    It will be interesting to see what the secondary market does to it, tho

                      Considering the fact that it's a very small company doing a limited run, production costs for something like this, licensing fees, etc. I'm sure it would have been impossible for them to do this at a $100 price point. Anyway, Jumbo collectors are used to paying a lot for toys, so I'm sure this will sell just fine.
