Jumbo Joe's from Gentle Giant confirmed!

[Pacemaker]

Nice looking figure EF. Brings back a lot of memories.

Funny, I remember laughing at the ridiculously priced Jumbo Star Wars. Only to eat those same words when Joe's were announced.

They are still ridiculously overpriced, but none the less, look pretty kewl. Had a nice feeling opening the box and seeing RnR. Too bad it wasn't Flash. Hope to see the rest of the OG.

I have no intentions of removing them from the package, even though you can return them. I'll let Skull show those. So pics of just the packaging. And big packaging that is. Dwarfs the shipper SS used.

Awesomeness man, thanks for posting the photos

Really excited to get mine, any chance for a photo of r&r next to a standard 1/6 figure?

 

[EVILFACE]

He's slightly tall, but thicker. Helmet and machine gun would be oversized for regular 1/6.

 

[The Skull]

Thanks Face, I like what I'm seeing, I would rather him be a little bigger than short and undersized, not that I would display him along side high end 1/6 scale on the same shelf, just wanted to see how they stack up.

Yeah man, same here! Flash was my first 3 3/4" Joe too.
The look is so nostalgic, brings me back to more simpler and happier times. All we need now is some 80's music!
Mine should be here tomorrow.

So, this beauty and beast just arrived at my door and as EvilFace had said earlier that the shipper dwarfs the hell out of SSC.
And when I opened it, I could not help but smile and giggle like I did back in the day!.
Here are some of my pics (scuse the bad pics)
Also, notice the knock out for the peg over the figure just like the good Old days!

 

[The Skull]

Awesome stuff Ultra, congrats

I just got mine today as well, love it, so well made, I noticed some cool things about the figure having opening him, the rivets and screws are plastic, a good thing as they will not rust, no rubber o-ring, this guy has and bungee cord and last the plastic used on the lower arm an hand area has a little flex as to prevent thumb breakage

Here's a few photos I took while filming my review

 

[Ultra8294]

Hey Skull, I noticed through the package that this might also sport the original "T" bar connecting the bungee to the thighs.
Can you confirm?

It does indeed from what I can tell, it has the open hook design the bungee attaches too, though the T bar looks like its made of plastic instead of metal so I wouldn't pull the figure apart to far as it could snap the hook, that's one design feature that should have remained metal.

 

[Ultra8294]

Thank you for confirming. Hope in time the tension of the bungee doesn't cause the T bar to stress and eventually crack.

Thank you for confirming. Hope in time the tension of the bungee doesn't cause the T bar to stress and eventually crack.

Happy to and I think it will hold, it would likely break if you pulled on it hard enough but that could be said for most things.

Here's my review for a closer look

Great pics everyone!

This really puts the size into perspective for me.

Thanks, these are so cool, so happy GG took a shot at the this line. I like them more than I thought I would, I had the idea of getting one or two, now I think I want the whole line

Just set-up a shelf for vintage figures......well reproduction vintage anyway

I plan to have Grunt next to R&R but for now HE-MAN can keep him company

 

[Ultra8294]

I need that He-Man!!

 

[The Skull]

I need that He-Man!!

Here you go

Giant He-Man Figure

 

[Ultra8294]

Seriously?! They even have Skeletor!
I'm not a big He-Man fan (pun intended) but these would definitely make good for my 80's display.
