      Yeah, $350?? Skarewww That!!

      Come on, all it does is shoot a fist? Man, my 24" Dragun would shoot axes and throwing stars for like $20-$25 in 1979. Inflation may be bad, but it's not that bad.

        Holy crap, that is totally cool, I love it.
        The price doesn't surprise me. When Bandai's Unifive division reissued Jumbos in Japan in the late 90's, they retailed in Japan for between $125-200, and that was for a mass produced toy by a major company (the high price was one reason why they didn't sell that well though, and Diamond ended buying left over stock at a big discount and then sold them in the US for cheaper). So for a small company doing a limited run of such a large toy, involving an expensive licensed property, $350 sounds about right to me.

          The price is actually set at $300 on Super7's site, not $350, and supposedly going up for pre-order soon.

          Apparently the gun was to originally fire missiles, but it was decided against. I agree it should have more action features, but the firing fist is enough to make it a must have for me.

            a little update for anyone interested in the super7 line of Jumbo SW.
            looks like the Fett is the next in line for the jumbo treatment.

            This is a sticker that was passed out at the CV SW convention recently. (Link to image at the Rebelscum site.)

              Criminy! I don't know if I'd be able to resist the lure of a Shogun Fett.
