 Images D Bigyeti Large Back in August, I posted about Gama-Go and Ningyoushi's development of a new Big Yeti designer toy. The Giant Yeti has finally been birthed and it is a big un'. The 9.5" high beast features posable arms and a light-up torch to guide him through the icy darkness of Nepal or your bedroom. For the next week, each Yeti figure ships with a free Yeti Ice Cave t-shirt.

    With the description and the packaging information, I’m guessing that it’s not ‘giant’ but more of a Barbie doll sized figure.

  • vintagecaveman

    I’m saving my money for “Gama-Go’s new Big Robotic Yeti”.

  • theradiostillsucks

    $90? No, thanks. Seriously, who buys these things for that kind of money?

  • SomeGuy

    9.5″ is huge? And why is it blue? is this some sort of Yeti/Smurf hybrid?

  • grimc

    Yetis have the secret of fire? We’re so screwed.

    Looks like Bumble. I smell a lawsuit. Color me confused!

  • ctgreybeard

    According to their web site the size is nine and one-half INCHES (“)

    Hardly Seti-sized. I am hoping that they mean nine and one-half FEET (‘) That would be Seti-sized!

    Only commenting anonymously because I have no time for creating an account today.

    Perhaps the ad for the beast is only poorly edited, because a towering yeti of 9.5 inches (at about $9 per inch) would, to paraphrase David St. Hubbins, tend to understate the hugeness of the object.

    So how big is the thing? For reals????

    (Here’s the text from the ad: Produced in collaboration with Ningyoushi in an edition of 1000, this imposing vinyl figure is one sweet Yeti. A commanding 9.5″ high, it features posable arms, a menacing scowl, removable light-up torch, and comes packaged in a stellar peek-through ice cave box.

    Figure is about 9.5″ to top of head, 11″ to tip of torch, and 8″ deep. Box is 9″ x 9″ x 12.5″.)
