I scooped a jumbo Red Ranger from Mystic Force at TRU today for $24.99. He's not quite 24", prolly closer to 20-21" and has a "talking phrase" feature when you press his belt. He also has a separate cape that's made up of plastic and some type of material.
I don't think Bandai has ever released a ranger as a jumbo here in the US so go scoop one if you're interested, it's actually pretty decent.

I picked this up about a week ago. It's considerably smaller than the rest. The talk box on mine didn't work, but I haven't had a chance to exchange it yet. I'm not a big fan of this one. Here's a comparison pic with a couple other PR Jumbos.

Hello Nekrodave,

I got those Voltes bootlegs from a seller in the Philipines. (I think it was ebay's "dinoguyst" but in looking at his profile, he seems to be located in Canada now. Maybe he moved.) They were like $5 each. Very cheap and very very ulgy. That is in fact the Fewture Gigabyte Mazinger Z you see standing in the back and the Garada of to the right. Great toys that I heartily recommend. The next in line, Grendizer, is now available for pre-order. But back to the Jumbo Ranger, it is poseable. It's got articulation at the neck, shoulders, wrists and ankles. It looks like it's supposed to move at the hips as well, but if it does, it's takes considerable effort. Btw, I finally exchanged mine for a working one and the cool sounds are him saying "Get Powerized!" and "Red Fire Attack!", making this the first true TALKING jumbo. The only other jumbos with sound were the Popy Godzilla and Bandai Ryu Sei Oh, but those just roared.

i just noticed and would love to see more of your jumbo with the lion chest, i don't know his name, but i had the lion that goes to the diecast metal version of him.
also, is Red Ranger Jumbo poseable like a batman figure?
and finally, being a jumbo PR collector, have u seen 2 different SPD Jumbos? i am not satisfied only finding ONE Jumbo from SPD, expecting 2 like there has been every year.
also, have there been ANY Jumbo Magiranger Robos in Japan? the last JUMBO SENTAI that i have seen is what we would call the Ninja Storm megazord...Septu-something

The jumbo with the lion head is Daltanious. He's one of the nicest looking JMs out there, imo. But it's a bit of a pain in the ass for me to dig him out of that case so I'm gonna take the easy way out and just link you to this old collection pic from Jumboland. www.sixsite.com/jumboland/graphics/cdimx/roger02.jpgThere was only the one SPD jumbo and so far as I know, there hasn't been another jumbo grade vinyl since the one at BBTS. I forget the real name.

I should have been more clear, those pics are not from my collection. I just remembered there was a clear shot of Daltanious there.
As for Dunbine, yeah it exists. In fact, it's one of the easier and cheaper Japanese jumbos to get.

Gotta remember that almost no jumbos are truly "easy" to get. I was speaking relatively to most Japanese jumbos. But if you wanted a Dunbine badly, with some searching and asking around, you wouldn't have to wait nearly as long as for others. In fact, there is a loose one that's been on Yahoo forever since it's probably overpriced at 30,000 Yen.
Is that Daltanious still on eBay? There was one up for about $3500 awhile ago and then disappeared. I don't know if it was purchased or what. I can't imagine someone paid that much.
