THAT's the special feature. The only thing that would bother me at this point would be to see a rerelease of the yellow set with all the upgrades. However, if Maketoys never touches it again, then I'm more than pleased.



I'd have to agree, I absolutely love my yellow Giant and don't regret getting him at all, as I liked the yellow much better than the green, and the biggest upgrade the green Giant seems to have gotten is the removable crane, which doesn't bother me much anyway. I was just a little bummed out that there were so many tweaks.

The removable crane should have been a given from the get-go.

Hmm... is it me, or does it look like the new, removable crane cannot be folded down to fit flatter against Devistator's back like the crane on Yellow Giant could? Unfortunate if that is the case, as I thought that was a nice feature to make the figure more shelf-friendly. But if that was a compromise that had to be made to make the crane removable, I'll take it, as a removable crane sure as hell helps Hook's individual robot mode.

While I don't have the yellow set, it just appears to be a very well-hidden joint. If you look closely at the underside of the crane arm, you can tell the gear that holds the joint together is still there. If you look at the picture of the crane-mode you can see the tab is still up there and that it's holding 2 separate sections together. Unless the joint is glued shut for some crazy reason, I'm pretty sure it'll still fold down. It looks like they've added tabs on the top & bottom so the gun barrel halves can peg on. The bottom location appears to help keep his crane-club from from folding when fully extended.

That's all I can tell by the photos anyway.
