I always ask myself &#8211; why are you stopping to post? I try to never give stuff I&#8217;m not going to buy the time of day&#8230; but that&#8217;s not important right now! Gentle Giant has made me one happy camper today.<\/p>\n<p>I can only mostly dabble in their Jumbo stuff, particularly when it&#8217;s close to my heart. I love my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=24449&amp;page=2\" target=\"_Blank\">Gonk Droid<\/a>. I had to buy the AT-AT Driver &amp; will snag a TIE Fighter Pilot when he comes out (isn&#8217;t that an impressive Jumbo SW collection?!). I wish I could&#8217;ve afforded that gorgeous Wampa. I&#8217;m anxiously awaiting them to get to some of my favorite G.I. Joes. I was annoyed that Mattel went it alone instead of letting Gentle Giant take a crack at the Jumbo MOTUs. Those could&#8217;ve been a million times better (we all know I&#8217;m still getting Faker if they make him). But now? Now, Gentle Giant has really spoken to me.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h1>Jumbo Secret Wars!!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/2014\/gg\/ggsw01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/h1>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I might die! So we&#8217;ve got a pretty sweet Hobgoblin, silhouettes of Wolverine&#8230; and Magneto, I&#8217;m guessing. That&#8217;s all well &#038; good. Hobgoblin looks amazing. But they&#8217;re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gentlegiantltd.com\/product_p\/80488.htm\" target=\"_blank\">starting off with what is one of my favorite toys of all time<\/a>! It&#8217;s one of the few toys I remember asking for as a kid. We were out of town, at the Springfield Kay-Bee Toys. I was with my parents. Spidey was on a little 2&#215;2 display in the entrance. It was the first time I ever saw the black costume on Spider-Man and I absolutely fell in love with it. It&#8217;s gorgeous. I&#8217;ve picked up that costume multiple times over and while I love nearly all of &#8217;em (As long as their&#8217;s no dumb, blue shading). Nothing beats that sleek, admittedly mostly unarticulated, original figure. And now that&#8217;s going to be in Jumbo size? SOLD! <\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s okay if the price is outrageous. It&#8217;s cool if none of you buy it! Because I&#8217;m pretty sure this was made just for me! This is amazing. Did I mention we&#8217;re getting the lenticular shields?
