Wow! Did not see this one coming. Can't say I'd buy them all, but the Iron Man, Captain America and Doctor Doom are must haves! They were some of my favorite figures growing up.

Wish someone would do this with Super Powers. But it would probably be Mattel and they'd probably charge $100+ for each figure. >ugh<

No thank you, not for me. Plus I bet they price is going to be high, well if people want this I hope they check out ebay for Toybiz toys from the 90s that were around this size. So who owns the original mold Marvel or Matell, do they have to share profits?

Wow. I'd buy Cap and Doom. But then I'd feel compelled to get IM, both Spidey's, Doc Ock, Wolvie, and Kang.

Wait...is that all of them (besides Hoblin)?

This is very very cool!!
While I can live without these two, this is going to be hard to resist a Captain America or a Dr Doom figure...

Nostalgia my ass. For almost $100, I better get better than this....

Why not go full nostalgia and bring back the nostalgic price point too.

Marvel bought Toybiz which became Marvel toys early on therefore I conclude that Marvel is using the old Toybiz molds. Not sure how I feel about these as I prefer more than 5POA

I'm not sure there's much to conclude as it says how they're doing it right on the front page. Gentle Giant's process for creating these oversized versions of older figures is posted on every pre-order page they put up:

They've been doing the same thing with the Star Wars figures for about a decade, and have been using the same technique on their upcoming GI Joe jumbo figures as well.
