Anyone have any info on the US Toys Giant Eleking? How many were available and how tall is he?
Did a member at Skullbrain get one of these guys? :wink:

I'm not sure how many were released, but I don't think it was that hard to snag. They didn't sell out in 10 minutes or anything.

It's a really nice figure, about 15" tall or so, if I remember correctly. But the price tag was a little...excessive.

From what I hear this is a really nice figure. Several points of articulation in the tail and the same high quality all around that US Toys is known for. That said, the price was crazy high from what I recall.

Yes! Thanks guys... It is an amazing sculpt considering their don't seem to be many Eleking figures out there.
Quoted at 340.00 Only 30 to 50 made I believe.

Hmmmm.... :?

I did a little research...originally priced at 24,000 and some were available at the Tsuburaya online shop, but they look to be goners at this point.

It's a nice figure...but for that money you could get a LOT of nice figures!

Thanks for the info! :D Agreed... Some Anraku or Shikaruna figures for that price range but..... it is a tempting me... Very sweet piece

Kinda embarrassed to admit that I own one of these as everyone is remarking about the price.
For me, it's quality not quantity these days, at least that's how I justified it.

I believe 50 were released, and it's about 16 inches tall or so.
Take the excellent production values of the smaller US Toys figures and scale it up.
Nothing is lost in quality.

It has a crazy tail that can be wrapped around due to the three points of articulation.
Mine battles it out with a similar sized Biskup Mechagodzilla while stomping smaller figures

It's easily in my top ten list of best toys of the year.

No kidding!! I've seen the photo and agree it's one amazing piece. 50 can justify the price alone... look at the Matango Transforming Man, also very limited and he goes for around 300-400 these days glow or not.
You'll have to send some pics on that tail :)

don't be embarrassed dude - i was lusting after this when it came out but the price deterred me. hopefully they'll do another colorway when I've got the cash to snag one. It's definitely boing-a-licious.

Haha, definitely don't be embarrassed...I can almost guarantee I've spent more money on far dumber things than that! And it really is a beautiful figure :wink:

No doubt, I spent that much for the giant blue Kanegon and it's worth every penny!
The quality of the paint, sculpt and vinyl is fantastic. I'd love to have this Eleking!
