Marvel Secret Wars Jumbo Figures coming from Gentle Giant
Wednesday, November 19th, 2014 by Pixel Dan
That Jumbo vintage toy fad continues, as Marvel and Gentle Giant just announced they are releasing jumbo-sized versions of the old Mattel Marvel Secret Wars figures!
From Marvel.com:
Designed with the ultimate Marvel collector in mind, the figures come in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display these limited edition collectibles. The first limited figure available will be the Black Suit Spider-Man that you can pre-order today at this link, but that’s not all! Use the code SecretMarvel20 at checkout to save $20 off your purchase today only, November 19th! The next figure to be released will be the Secret Wars Hobgoblin figure.
So, are your wallets crying yet? While I love the idea of the jumbo figures, I just can’t collect them all. Not only are they pricey, but space is always an issue as well. I do have a few of Gentle Giant’s Star Wars jumbo figures, as well as Mattel’s MOTU jumbos. The G.I. Joe jumbos look great, but luckily I feel ok passing on those since I don’t have too tight of a nostalgic bond there. But man, these Secret Wars figures are tempting. I may have to get at least Black Suit Spidey and Wolverine.
How about you guys? Planning to buy any?
Gentle Giant sure knows how to tap into the fan's zombie collecting addictions, I'll give them that. Like the Star Wars Jumbos… these are WAY over priced… easy pass. The biggest slap in the face from GG is that 24" Alien figure for like $500. LOL! What a joke.
