I'm curious because BBTS has Green Giant for a more reasonable price than before.

Hercules Hercules Hercules. Sure it costs more but you get what you pay for. The bots are beefier and not full of hollow limbs. Hercules Devastator just has more mass and looks way more imposing than that jolly green giant ho ho ho. Not too mention completely integrated kibble (well the hands are a little suspect at times).

If you were to order Herc from Robotkingdom the cost shipped to the U.S. is $542.47 while GG is 367.98 shipped with a difference of $174.99. But only if you can afford that difference.

Herc is definitely bigger. Way bigger. I have neither, but personally find the Giant bots to look better both individually (alt modes are more realistic, although they do lack some of the functionality of the Herc ones) and combined. I like the look of the colours better as well. Price is a bit easier to swallow too.

BUT I'd definitely recommend that you look up some reviews of them both on youtube and other websites, and see which set appeals to you more. TJ Duckett aka Kuma Style Reviews has done some fairly in-depth comparisons between the two, and he's not the only one. Also there are a lot of reviews for each set on their own. See which YOU like better, and if Herc is the one you go for, you can always save up for a bit longer.

I'd like to see them compared. I'd also like to see them beside the original, just to see how much bigger they are.

There IS a 3rd party TF section bro'

Oops. I'm still a little new.

No worries, moved the topic for you.

I recommend you purchase which one you think looks better.

Both have very happy customers... just do a little research... look at some pics & watch a few YouTube reviews on each one. Then make up your own damn mind.

I bought Herc when he first came out ... he's much more reasonable in price now and I regret pouncing on him.

The one scary thing about Herc is his hip joint. I haven't heard about the new one breaking, and I have the replacement which I applied lube too, but .... it's not something I'll ever test out. I feel it's appropriate to bring that up here.

Other than that Herc is awsome. There's a few different heads / faces for him by various people that give a different look. There are a few Shapeways kits too, none of which i have. He seems to have a lot more in the way of options if you like to augment your TFs. Personally, I really like the "Rage" configuration. Crazy Devy made a purple barrel if that's your thing (bought that as well). I plan to get the Reprolabes for him at some point because they also really seem to add to him.

Can't speak for Giant ... yet!

Herc all the way. Dont forget to pick up the Rage of Hercules set, Crazy Devy G1 head and purple barrel, and give him the full reprolabels treatment. You want the baddest Devy on the block ??? It's gonna cost an arm and a leg, but you wont be dissappointed.
