Giant Reaction Figures

Let's talk about Funko and Super 7's great line of ReAction and Legacy action figures. They don't bobble or pop, but they thrill in their own fun way.

Am I the only one that wants giant Reaction figures? I would love to see 10 inch horror Reaction figures.

As long as they do not carry the ridiculous price tag that Gentle Giant's jumbo retro figures do. I can not understand what makes them so expensive. Limited articulation and using an existing design.

Fun idea though.

I agree. The horror reactions like Freddy would be so cool done in a larger scale. Same with some of the Universal Monsters.

Well, part of what makes the Gentle Giant's 12 inch Star Wars figures pricey is the license. Also, those are not as "mass produced" as other toy lines so that adds to the cost. Then other little things such as the re-sealable clamshell packaging, big cardboard insert, etc add up.

And also don't forget that Gentle Giant wants to keep these kind as kind of "high end" collectibles so they purposefully keep the prices high. I have several of the figures and they are really well done and quite beautiful!

A less expensive alternative to the Gentle Giant line I think would be a good idea. Though of course I am bias cause I really want large horror

I’m so down for this, especially if they are horror figs. The existing Stranger Things large figures look amazing and at 19.99 they are reasonably priced.

You guys realize that Funko doesn’t have anything to do with ReAction anymore. It’s all Super 7 now.
