I consider the 24" Power Rangers Jumbo's too, just newer versions (with less goodies). Any thoughts or weigh ins?

I don't collect jumbos but used to own a great LJN Giant Voltron mint in box. In my opinion a jumbo machinder is:

Usually 22-24" tall (maybe there are some newer ones around 20). It used to mainly refer to the blow molded or similar made polyethylene robots that had some moveable parts.

Now some modern ones are made of vinyl and similar materials while others are still like originals (ie super 7 etc.).

I think the height is the biggest factor now because there are mini machinders that usually fall in the 16-18 inch range and maybe a few outliers at 14 or 20 inches.

Anything smaller is usually referred to as a figure or a collector vinyl etc depending on material.

Some look at it a little differently, " All jumbos are not Machinders". Lately I collect jumbos, 20" and up.

Godzilla is like 18 or 19 inches but both are in my jumbo collection....LOL.

Well remember that rodan is actually from the Mattel world's greatest monsters line. By association, he is a great companion for the shogun warriors godzilla.

But then you have the Popy Jumbosaurus (godzilla) which is completely different.

Then for unrelated stuff the takara jeeg is about 26".
