Stormtrooper Super Shogun

Ideally I would love to own 2 of these, but why this item is 3 times the amount of Hasbo's re-tooled AT-AT doen't make sense.

Its brand new man, no re-tooling...as far as i know.

100% new tooling on the BAT-AT.

 

[papa-alpha-charlie]

it's a cool idea, I like that he can shoot his fist.

The price is pretty high, considering the originals went for $13.88.

I would pay $299 if they redid these.

 

[galactiboy]

You can buy the originals for a lot less than $299

Also, pretty sure these have been rereleased... not positive about that though.

Don't forget your basic Star Wars math:

Item + Star Wars license = High Priced Item

 

[crasis]

Yeah, but in this case it's:

Item + Star Wars license + Needlessly complicated and outdated manufacturing process just to ensure "street cred" + Limited run to appeal vinyl fetishists = High Priced Item

I really wanted one of these until I saw the price. I easily would have paid up to $150.

I was wondering what the story was about these jumbo things since I saw a few people get excited over these.

 

[MicroJow]

I'm a huge fan of the Shogun Warriors / Jumbo Machinders and still have my complete set of Shoguns (Raydeen, Great Mazinga, Dragun, Gaiking, Godzilla, Rodan, Daimos) plus, over the years, I managed to pick up a few that were never released in the US (Combattler V and Grendizer.) And I admit, yes, I would be all over this... if it wasn't for the price. That's just way too high.

What I'd REALLY love to see in Jumbo form would be some of the Micronauts, like Baron Karza and the Force Commander. For those, perhaps, I could be willing to fork over the extremely high asking price. Perhaps.

Kewl, never knew they made Voltron Shoguns.

Kewl, never knew they made Voltron Shoguns.

they were just announced a couple weeks ago at Toy Fair

Children growing up in the 70s and 80s had their lives touched by two pop culture phenomena: the Star Wars saga and Jumbo Machinder toys (marketed in the US as Shogun Warriors).

That makes it sound like Star Wars and Shogun Warrior toys were the two main influences on kids in the 70s and 80s.

Am I the only person who never had one of these toys? Nobody I knew had one either, to my knowledge. I was born in '75 but I have absolutely no nostalgia for these things because I was almost completely unaware of their existence. It's kind of cool that they're remaking it in the same way as the originals, but I agree that the price is incredibly high.

I never had a Shogun Warrior, but my friend had some of the smaller ones and one of the big ones.

One of the few, yes. Had and loved the Godzilla. No way in hell I'd pay $300 for this though. Nothing about it justifies the price.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I still have Mazinga, Raydeen and Dragun at my Mom's house. But I lost all their accessories long ago.

Hasbro will likely make 50, 000 BAT-ATs and will be able to put them in Toys R Us, Walmart, and Target. Then in a year or two they can put it out again.

The Super Shogun line will be limited edition collectibles. ...and, lets assume they make more, are you going to be happier spending $300 now, or $500 on eBay later?

For collectors that don't understand what you get for the price paid, the answer is simple: This collectible is not for you.

As for me, I think $300 is a fine price for getting something we should have had in 1979...
