Yeah and at these prices I doubt we'll ever even see Hawk much the less anyone beyond the 1982 line up. I was such a cheerleader for this line, I feel so let down.

Yeah, as much as I love the original RAH line I just can't seem to get into these. The Star Wars were cool don't get me wrong,however ever the Star Wars jumbo line is starting wane for me. Now we have GI Joe as well as the Secret Wars. It too much too soon. Also space is at a limit with these.

word, I would get fully articulated version but straight arms drove me crazy as a kid and it sure as hell will at 100 bones a figure. Nostalgia has its limits you know... if I get these at all it will have to only be the swivel arm versions....that's what I am holding out on to get involved with this at all.

So I emailed Gentle Giant from their website and they said the figures would have swivel arms.
I hope he understood what I was asking. |

I don't think he understood the terminology. They look straight armed to me.

These would have been perfect at a 6" scale. As is, they're way too big to collect and way too damn expensive

Sadly this means Grunt will be last. So will he be 2nd Quarter 2016 and possibly even more expensive? Since Grunt was the only one I was vaguely interested in, that is disappointing.
However this Snake Eyes is a great nostalgia piece for one of the more popular characters.
