    Neat-ish sculpt I guess. Not sure if Gama is in the "in" column anymore or not, but I know that some folks were chatting up the giant Deathbot a few months ago, so figured I'd post.

    Via OMGPosters, of all places:

    The “Big Vinyl Yeti” figure from Gama-Go is about to be available for preorder. It is a massive 10″ high and costs $90. You can grab one starting tomorrow (Thursday, October 30) at 11am PST. Additionally, if you place your order by Thursday, November 6, you’ll get a free Yeti t-shirt.

    I think this is pretty cool and as much as I'd rather not buy one I think I might have to

    18 months back I woulda probably thought the same thing . . . these days it strikes me as a 10" lump of fugly . . . but life'd be boring if we all liked the same shit!

    Personally I think it's a pretty faithful interpretation for the 2-d character. not going to buy it but it's well done

    Torch is great and I love the colors for sure. Might be adding this one, might not be. I'm truly undecided.

    I love all things Biskup and I love the Yeti character, but for some reason, this isn't quite doing it for me. I can't decide whether I'm going to get it or not. The torch does light up though, so....

    I agree with the articulation woes...no head OR leg mojo. Would be a sort of cool gargoyle to post at the bathroom drawbridge of my ice-castle, thought. Whenever that happens. Pretty neat deet about the torch...guess that's just an LED or something?

    he does look like he'd make a pretty killer bank. probably get 500 bucks in quarters down his back without breaking a sweat. That's over FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS in net gain. YEAH!

    Personally, I like this version much better. One of my favorite pieces.

    I think he's kneeling on a glacier there. I also think their is just something off about the whole sculpt. The face is done all right. I'm a big biskup fan, but maybe aftermarket for this toy.

    I like it but yeah 10" aint really "giant" its only an inch bigger than "Standard" around these here parts. If it was 24" id say ok thats giant. Either way I still cant afford it right now...

    There's something fishy 'bout his left hand. It's an 'ok' toy in my book but not close enough to be a true 'attention-grabber'. Have to admit i dig the colors.
