 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
I saw a clear one in person a few months ago, it's a rad toy and I'm looking forward to seeing what type of color choices this one will have.

 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
It will be interesting to see how this figure is received. It's got a very Mad Toy/ Tokyo Guns, early Japanese urban vinyl feel to it, that doesn't seem to be that popular these days. I'm looking forward to seeing Lamour's figure, any updates?

 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
Initially, when I heard about this I thought it would make an awesome fight size (around the time of the Gorilla Biscuits toy dropping), so was kinda disappointed when I heard it was more like BxH size. Since then my tastes have changed and I'm digging the BxH so I'm stoked to see the finished product . . . particularly if it's still being made in JPN!

It's really a nice size. A little bigger than I expected but it goes really well in my collection of BxHs.

The price was much more than I expected though.

 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
It might be a tad over 8 inches but it looks very beefy. Also with all the parts.. I think the 100.00 price tag is being generous. Looks like a lot went into Production on this.

 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
and there are 7 points of articulation plus a bat...
the bling bag Steregon has less movement possibilities, it is smaller but it has the same price tag...

 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
I'm so on the fence about this guy . . . as a new sculpt/toy I love it, but am kinda thinking the $$$ would be better spent on the older OG BxH stuff that influenced it!

What I meant was that, regardless of how nice the figure may be (and the figure is fine, so good for people who like it), but I just don't think any collector is really wishing for a new $100 figure to collect these days. Those blind bag Sterogon's being an excellent example... people liked the sculpt, and they they just languish on a store page. For as clean of a design as this guy, maybe he would have been better served at 5" for $50. Spending a hundred bucks on a single vinyl, regardless of manufacturer has just lost its appeal.

 Re: MIKE GIANT X Toy Punks Figure
well, on my side, I don't mind paying $100 on such figure as I am almost 100% sure that there won't be any color variant  in this end, this may be less expensive than buying a 5" figure that will be decliner over and over...
