Jakks Big Fig Super Powers!!!

[haggis]

Jakks!? Those are huge!...and sweet.

[Gorn Captain]

Hard to resist...

Those are awesome...I might have to get a set.
If Jakks can sell these for $20 and make a profit, Hasbro and Mattel are obviously gouging everyone with $20 six inch figures.

This logic can also be applied to the Gentle Giant Jumbo figures like the scaled up Vintage Star Wars, Secret Wars, GI Joe. But it's a different market for a different customer.

there is a lot less articulation in these than in the 6" scale figures, thus the pricepoint

Exactly, it's not the size, it's the complexity of the design and the amount of parts used to make it. A 6 inch or 3 3/4 inch SW black series figures have way more articulation than the jumbo Jakks figures and are made of dozens of tiny parts.

Dang...kinda makes me regret getting into the ART-FX Super Powers 8-inch statue line.

Seeing they've already made a Supes, Bats and Flash THAT nice for THAT cheap is quite troubling (in a good way!).

What makes a difference to me is that with these DC characters, they still resemble their 80's vintage line counterpart---Super Powers, in this case.

I don't know why, but just like the Super Powers ART-FX static figures (that are also a bit more detailed than the Super Power line whose logo adorns their packaging), I can display these Jakks 18" DC and still feel a "Super Powers" vibe, whereas I can't say the same for the other Jakks franchise licences, Star Wars being the main example. I need the Gentle Giant vintage Jumbos for that line.

These remind me a bit of the Hamilton Presents large figures too, but are surprisingly more articulated! They had that Super Powers vibe too, but of course they came out 2 or 3 years after SP.

When are these available?

[JRT!]

Apparently,they are shipping to stores now!

J-R!

[ScottA]

I definitely want the blue Batman (and a Robin). I just hope these show up here. We typically don't have much luck finding these types of figures in the stores.

[Remco Monster]

Pretty dang cool. Might have to grab the Batman. Hope to see a Green Arrow!

[TomStrong]

I'm seeing a few of these showing up on eBay for twice their worth. Hoping to find a Batman and Superman at Target. Jakes lists them as a retailer but they haven't shown up at my local target yet.
