I just have in stock the JEEG by HL PRO (High Dream) first the box is really perfect with great design (same vein as the Goldorak artwork). JEEG was a sort of dream, and THANKS for this Jumbo, the design is really nice. I found it by an italian shop. For all true jumbos lovers, this Jeeg is really for you!

i was looking to get it last week and it is available only in italy. i called hl pro and their us distro guy. italy only. via ebay, it would cost 300 USD to get it here. thats pretty pricey for a new jumbo. but it is super cool and if it gets enough attention, the us distributor said he might stock it.

For me the head have a correct size, of course the original seventies jumbo is really enormous (26 inch, if I'm not wrong) but now not easy to find a copy with the fists. Jeeg is popular in Italy, not in France, and until now I only see it for sale by the way of Italians shops. It cost me with the shipping 179 euros (30 euros of shipping Italy > France). For me it's a good thing, that's 2 years now I dream to have a Jeeg, and now the guy is at home!!
OK, hope I can read some comments about what do you think about this new jumbo.

i love this thing. its too bad it is not available worldwide. high dream/koutetsu sent me a strange email when i asked if it could be purchased and sent to the US. i didnt understand their reasoning, other than jeeg is popular in italy. i think its a great jumbo. i have a question about it - does it have any shooting parts - missiles or fists?

For Europe, Jeeg is easily orderable in Italy, but I can understand that's a problem for USA. This robot presents the same principle as Goldorak / Grendizer and Mazinger Z from 'High Dream', no rockets, no fist ejectable. The same material, and completely painted. Contrary in Mazinger Z from High Dream which measured only 55cm, Jeeg is well 60 cms (a TRUE 24 inch Jumbo). Jeeg represents a very beautiful alternative for those who does not have the old jumbo. Thisd new Jeeg is very articulated, the head can turn, the top of the trunk (yellow part) the top of thighs, knees, feet, fists, fronts arm and naturally the top of arms! It is a very articulated robot. The sculpture and the paint are very detailed and high-quality. The box is really very beautiful. For me with the box, that's a total must. When I will have free time; I will put more pictures. OK, my english is poor, but I'm really happy to have this jumbo in my collection!

I forget: I read 300 $ for have it in USA, is it with shipping inc?
With shipping it cost me for France 237 $. But by the classic postoffice way.
I see various price between 149 to 199 EUROS! Of course with shipping for USA that's possible it cost something like 300 $. In Europe the shipping between France / Italy is not cheap. The Jumbo with the box are heavy. I have the chance to have the box in perfect condition at home, and that's important, if any problem during the shipping travel, you will be very sad to see an average box! ASK WITH THE SELLER FOR A PERFECT SHIPPING! The box is too beautiful!!

Here is Jeeg / Grendizer/ Mazinger Z all are credited as 24 inch! But as you can see that's not the case, Mazinger Z is really too small !!! Damned!!! As I said, Jeeg is really perfect!

For sure, the sculpt is very impressive, that's really true, it's the best work of High Dream, Grendizer is great, Mazinger Z...hum, for me a very medium work, BUT Jeeg is a master piece in a collection. Of course it's not a jumbo machinder, no missile, no shooting fist...but the look! ;D

Since I'll never likely own a Popy JM Jeeg. I would love to have one of these. Absolutely beautful sculpt for the super robot.

Quite nice looking! Now, if they could make the jumbo limb joint balls be magnetic, and actually hold the figure up, that would be a WOW! haha.
Does something shoot out of the belt buckle?

 Looking at Jeeg & Grendizer in those photos is a crime to me! It's like they draw Hulk and Wolverine the same size in a cartoon. I like Jeeg but I am not a huge fan, so I am skipping that jumbo one. I have the 60cm Grendizer and I am waiting for my 60cm Mazinger Z to arrive from France...and wishing that HL PRO will make a 60cm Great Mazinger soon with a height in-between Dizer & Z. 12" Figures of Koji Kabuto (w/ the Mazin suit) and Tetsuya Tsurugi would be fantastic to display with the 24" figures as well. |
