I've said the same thing about the vintage jumbo figures. Not my bag, they're just too big, but they seem to be doing pretty well so GG must feel the market is there for a 1:1.

Meant nothing by it. Just spitting my thoughts...sometimes too bluntly.
I agree they achieved what they were going for. Just after seeing the Alien, just amazed they went even further. How did that sell?
With all the other things out there and then see the "vintage detail" blown up to life size, just seems odd to me....Dunno, not my thing either.
But I guess that type of thing can fit that type of price tag. Will admit, much cheaper than a t800, etc..

marketability was in my mind also...just dont see it

you can get this from ADs for about $400 less.

I think it looks cool and would love to have it if I had the $$ and space.

I too late for an April Fools joke. I guess there's someone out there who wants this. They would have be a really big toy enthusiast or maybe they want reenact their own version of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kinds" or the "Incredible Shrinking Man".

Marvel Studios should get one for a prop in the Ant Man movie.
