It can be kind of hard to just review a single figure but I was a lot more impress with this figure then the AT-AT and thought it would be a good write up.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I'm impressed you managed to write this review. There is a lot of talk among RPG players whether or not these figure are worth it. Most pick it up for the looks.

I think I've only ever needed to use a gargantuan figure about once a year. Though they are fun to pull out and place on the battle map, just to scare players.

I've been wondering about these figs myself.  I have wanted to get one for awhile, but I've been kinda torn between the black dragon or red dragon.  The red dragon is 75 bucks, but I have saw it on sell a few times for 50.  I agree that the black dragon has  a way better pose than the others.  There is supposed to be a gargantuan white dragon coming out soon, I think it also includes a drizzt and wulfgar fig.
