Also on the 2nd Shelf are protos for what appears to be a Snowtrooper and Bossk

Also that babe in the blue shirt is smoking hot.  Where is this photo from?

Anyone with better eyes able to tell me what's on the top shelf back next to red Snaggletooth?  Looks like a Blue Snaggletooth to me, and maybe Logray?  Looks like they have a lot lined up for this line.

*EDIT* NM, just saw your next post!

I don't see Bossk, possibly see Logray.

Yeah, all I'm seeing are chicks and their toys... especially the one in white as if she's choosing which has more ribbing.

I just crapped myself.

I believe that is the Logray mini bust (http://www.gentlegiantltd.com/product_p/80152.htm)

Is it just me or does Yoda have Duck Face... Bang!   :D

He's making the sound "Pfffftttt", just ate a lemon sour, or forgot to put his dentures in.  Yep, odd face.

Orange Snake Yoda now available for order at GG.  Only the orange snake is listed, which makes me think we'll see dark green/brown snake as an exclusive.   :(

Brown snake is the Premier Guild exclusive.  It's also available for order.  They sent emails to the guild members with links to both the orange and brown snake versions.  But the brown snake link won't work unless you're already signed in to your Premier Guild account when you click it.

Thanks for the tip!  What are they asking for the brown snake one?  I'm not interested in getting a guild membership though.  Anyone here have one and able to help me out?

Brown snake version is $75.  I do have a guild membership but I've already bought mine, and there's a limit of 1.

I just ordered my first Jumbo figure today... Orange Snake Yoda.   I'm worried this line could get addictive.

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda

FYI, BBTS has Yoda for $68.  And their upgrade to "collector Grade" for an additional $2 really makes sense here, since they double box the item for shipping (if you care about the card, which I do).  It's the best job I've ever seen, since the card itself is bubble wrapped and boxed (inner), then THAT box is AGAIN bubble wrapped and boxed (outer).  Tons of padding and protection, very worth it.

My Jumbo Yoda is shipping... Will be my first jumbo figure. I'm really looking forward to getting it.

I got my shipping notice for the brown snake exclusive, but no word on the orange snake one.  Typical GG...

Both (orange & brown) of mine shipped on Friday.

Post by: Sir Real on May 2, 2013, 03:51 PM

Please post pics when they arrive.  I've read that there's something wrong with the cloak.  Too short, smooth, and not baggy enough, and looks like a sportcoat.  Anyone else hear  this?

Here's a pic:

Mine looks the same way.

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda
Post by: BrentS on May 3, 2013, 01:27 PM

Mine looks like that too.  No complaints from me for my first Jumbo figure. I wasn't prepared for how big the cards were  ;D

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda
Post by: JediJman on May 3, 2013, 05:10 PM

Tough to say - mine still looks like this...

Got my brown snake exclusive and he looks the same.  By the way, GG sent a solitation that they have a few more of the initially sold out brown snake version in stock, so head on over if you still need one.

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda
Post by: Sir Real on May 13, 2013, 02:35 PM

So this new style cloak is nothing like the original.  They even put up this pic on the GG site:
(http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/owxfh.rekky/v/vspfiles/photos/80127-2T.jpg)
Am I the only one who isn't ok with it and wishes they made it "just like the original" (sort of their tagline for this series)? 

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda
Post by: JediJman on May 13, 2013, 05:59 PM

I don't really have a problem with it, but you're right - it is somewhat false versus what they originally showed.

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda
Post by: Sir Real on May 15, 2013, 12:28 PM

I opened my brown snake Yoda and I'm more ok with it now.  I think that's mostly due to such a great backer card image.  Still wish it were fluffier and longer, but I don't hate it as much as I did when I first saw the pic.

One Yoda with Orange Snake preorder is available at BBTS.  Not bad for 67.99.

Title: Re: Gentle Giant Jumbo Yoda
Post by: Sir Real on June 13, 2013, 05:42 PM

Yoda w/ orange snake is in stock at BBTS.  Unfortuantely, the price is 74.99.  Looks like there's 6 available.

I hesitated and missed the orange snake Yoda on many sites.  However, I did find some instock at toytokyo.com last week.  I ordered one and it arrived quickly and well packed. 

I just looked and they still have some instock for $75 if people are still looking.
