21" is pretty rad...

Not sure why I'm resisting these, but for some reason, I have trouble getting behind them. I've seen 'em a million times before, and it's great to get the skinny on them...but at that scale, I somehow desire more traditional distorted JM proportions.

I mean, Giant Robo already has pretty silly proportions, but this figure is too "realistic" for me. For some strange reason, I feel that such realism belongs at a smaller scale. (Yes, I realize that I still need to get on those Soft Garage reviews! :P).

Weren't these known for having really bad leaning issues? I mean moreso than a couple of hockey cards could fix.

Yeah, Sanjeev, I didn't feel

Yeah, Sanjeev, I didn't feel like waiting for you to get off your butt and do those reviews.;) I agree that more traditional JM style is always better, but I've always wanted these since seeing them in King Rory's lineup.


Thanks, Dan! I feel your pain. I spent the whole weekend wishing I had my old Castle Greyskull back! lol


Josh, I'm not sure about others, but mine isn't too bad. Right now, I don't even have anything beneath the feet and it's standing fine. The surface I'm standing it on determines whether or not I put anything beneath the toes. It's on top of my counter display now, but anything less stable than that and it usually gets a few cards.

Yours is articulated at the shoulders? The arms on mine don't move at all. It only moves at the feet, waist and neck. And mine has no trouble at all standing without help.

Well done, for a bootleg

It's actually looks cool, y'know, for a knockoff :)

One word left to say: MESH!
