We know the Maketoys one will be only slightly bigger than Fanproject's Bruticus...

This is Exgraver on Bruticus:

And this is half of Hercules:

TFC's version is bigger.

Well that is what I originally thought but based on Kibble's measurements with the previous picture scaled with the deluxe packaging, it doesn't appear so.

If Maketoys have scaled theirs up to make Giant bigger than Hercules it would be idiotic. The market they have is for people who want a G1 styled, cheaper Devastator that is the same size as the Energon combiners. I am sure that size information cannot be right.

I'm not saying they scaled up. I'm just looking at the picture with the TFC one where it is side by side with the deluxe box. Therefore, making it about a foot. Then I look at the picture of the MT version next to Bruticus where it is clearly larger than 12 inches. That's the assumption my previous statement was based off of. I hope the Herculese figure is larger

Is it me or does this actually look cooler than the TFC one?

It's just you...rather your opinion. People will agree w/ you, others won't. I am reserving my opinion as I've already started investing in TFC's version of this combiner. If I were to invest in both I would wait till I have the whole team then decide which I like better and sell/trade the other one off.

Ive read all the post and got over the shock of figure price that is not an issue anymore

My problem is that there both amazing and totaly different and it brings up the major issue of which one

I think by now i should get what the missing Herc cons are going to look like interms of shape and artic which to me sort of leave no mystery other than the actuall character look of the two and them as limbs on complete not dev 1

MT blury images still have me excited not knowing what there character and body detail looks like at all in robot mode other than what you can take from the completed images of not dev 2
i like the fact there small(dare i say)and more G1 looking in shape?

For me its realy down to maketoys to show there cards as height is not an issue i wont buy Herc because he is suposed to be a mountain it will all come down to two simply amazing looking FINISHED products then and only then can i truly make a choice.

I've also been mulling it over for quite sometime now. At first I was totally against TFC's version..The price, questionable QC and a history of unfinished business left me leaning towards MT's version. Since they have yet to really reveal anything i went back to TFC..

I've decided to just get both of the damn things...Just got exgraver tonight..The guy is huge, way bigger than I had thought..The pic of Mt's next to bruticus sold me on theirs though..

Looks like its totinos frozen pizza and ramen noodles for the next few months..Oh and good ole tap water

There aren't any new pics for MTs so you can just check at the start of this thread for those. And supposedly TFC is revealing the last two figs sometime Sunday so you'd probably be best served waiting for whatever images come outta that. Otherwise the latest is a page or two back.
