Was about to pull the trigger until I saw he does not come with the extra head parts. Unfortunately I missed the first run.

Disappointed about the lack of accessories. Not happy about that. Still having both will be fun.

So I saw this go up for pre-order earlier this week. I thought it looked really neat, watched a few video reviews and was interested in picking one up, but I’ve never watched "The Iron Giant" before.

I did today. I cried. Twice. Goddamn what a fantastic movie. I wiped the tears off, and then pre-ordered this figure. I need to have it now.

The whole matter just reminded me how collecting can be a window to so many new experiences. You see a new piece pop up, try to find out where it came from and sometimes discover something truly special. The Iron Giant did that to me.

So yeah, I’m looking forward to getting the reissue now. My only gripe is that they’re making two versions instead of a "complete" one. While I agree that it can feel bad for people who bought the first release to be presented with an upgrade of accessories, this is no better as you still force customers to buy the figure again. Might as well make it complete for the new buyers.

That being said, I don’t need the weapons. I wouldn’t even take a completely transformed giant. Because he's not a gun. He's Superman.

6.3 inches?
kinda short for Iron giant, he should have been 9 inches minimum, ill pass.
