Spry,

these Gentle Giant offerings are just fantastic. After getting two for my collection I decided I would get any that had the TESB Cardback on em. I have the C6 lando coming and have already pre-ordered both the Yoda and the Rocket Firing Fett. I know the Fett won't be on the TESB Cardback like the one I have, but that one is too good to pass up. I may bite the big one and order a Vader soon too. Hoping to see more TESB Cards though.

And folks, I just posted in the MWC Store Thread, but they are already selling these for about $20 cheaper than ordering from GG directly. I don't know how they can, but I sure ain't questioning it.

Man I've been hiding myself away from these to avoid temptation - but I'm going to dive in and grab myself a Bespin Luke when he is released!!!

Be careful. I tempted myself with these when I was at CV. Now, I can't stop trying to get all the TESB ones. I am such a dummy. Now I am envisioning a new shelf display with just these.

That image is really cool, but hurtful at the same time.  I am reminded of the Jumbo Vinyl Cape Jawa I had to sell.  Argh.  I'll never get that one back.

Wow, I bet that one does hurt.

Still, these are about as cool as they get for true vintage nostalgia. I mean they even make sure the factories who make these don't get rid of the cast lines, etc. to keep them as true to the original Kenner Figures as possible.

About the only problem I have with them is their size, but I am trying to figure out a display shelf just for these based on as many as I want.

Pat and I were on this same fence when we were at CV. I feel of it and got them and it has been downhill ever since. They really are just perfectly matched to their original vintage counterparts.

I will definitely have to add this one to my TESB Jumbo Collection.

And yet another great Hoth Offering:

Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear) Kenner Jumbo




I got hooked on these and I cannot wait to get a total display made for them. I probably need to wait till they offer that Wampa, but this is definitely one I am adding to my own collection.

An AT-AT Driver and maybe a TI Pilot would be the only ones I consider getting except the Stormtrooper I already have
