That's a fantastic photo review! You must have had a really awesome day but I ask again:

(I'm even more desperate after seeing those pictures.)

May I say "WOW". That looks nice! Gonna be sweet standing next to Hercules...

How articulated is this thing?

thanks for the pics.
looking a lot smaller than I'd imagined, but it's nice to have seen the range of movement (he can stand on one leg!) and it looks like a quality toy. just those comparison pics with WFC megatron, and the deluxe classics Prime make me think that whilst he's not small, he's not that big.

I want my TFC Giant set C....to the tune of Dire Straits Money for Nothing.

Come on Kapow....make it so!

I opened set B this weekend and I can't see any reason for a replacement shoulder/cab area. It all seems so sturdy. The joints are tight but move really nicely and smoothly.

That's what I thought. If anything I would have thought "Crane" would have had replacements for his shoulders, as the ratchets on mine were so tight I was sure they'd break. Luckily after some careful manipulation they've loosened up enough that they don't require me to hold my breath.

tfsource is taking forever. The wait is painful.

Glad they are giving us all those replacement parts too. I haven't even tried to combine Set A and B yet, since it will be so much sweeter with all limbs.
As much as I defended Maketoys Giant before, I have to say this is the one TF in my collection where I am SUPER careful when handling/posing/transforming. The quality looks great but I feel its really fragile (i.e. Hooks hinged hip). I'm kinda scared to put him on my stand that is so high up :HALUC:
