    Interesting points. I guess I wasn't looking too closely at the pics, but yeah, now that I examine them, mine, Jordan's, and the one from Lixx's auctions all seem to have the same large proportioned head I was more familiar with on the giant Jack figures, whereas the others (yours and Chimply's) look a bit more evenly proportioned (smaller heads). It could just be an angle thing though; very weird. Mine is just a little over 14.5 inches too.

    Someone needs to splice all these photos side by side.

    Everyone else looks like they have the same one. Mine seems to have a total redesign for the mid-body. But the head, arms, and legs seem to be the same mold as everyone elses. I'm guessing mine is a redesign reissue that came a alittle later than any of yours in the late 70s. Or maybe mine is a boot? Ahhh, the mystery.

    My OCD is kicking in. :lol: Must research now.

    Oh, I don't know why I didn't catch this before! Yours is the evil HORNED version of Ultraman Jack!

    Digging this thread up again. I'm so excited to finally have a Giant sized hero with an actual mask! Love this Giant Mirrorman who stands a lofty 15 inches BUT knowing there is an actual 20 incher out there makes me hungry for more (and yes my lovely g/f has denied me access to my record/bookshelf for a bit with Halloween decorations lol):

    Fantastic man, even if he is only the giant version as opposed to the gargantuan version. :razz:

    And for what it's worth seems like she did a very fine job on those shelves. At least it is not covering up your toys too!

    Thanks. The condition of the Mirrorman was pretty good. I magic erased the few scuffs I saw (very carefully). Great deal on it.

    Kimmy is quite crafty so I always defer to her on holiday decorating. ;)

    That's an awesome Mirrorman!
    A whole month with no access to the other type of vinyl? :twisted:
    Which reminds me, I need a new turntable...
