Agreed, looking forward to having them in-hand. One thing does leave me a bit puzzled; why has Maketoys not shown us final images of the complete set? I'd really like to see some pictures of Giant in color-would also see what the final head design is going to look like. No use in keeping us in the dark on this any longer.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The first thing we saw of Giant was a complete prototype followed quickly by a comparison shot with a FP upgraded Bruticus for scale. Hercules was the one we didn't see complete until the 4th or 5th figure was up for order. If you mean a pic of the Giant in it's final colors, I guess they've been busy getting the figures shipped and ready to go early. Look at it this way: at this rate, you can have your entire Giant on your shelf by Easter (not to mention before TFC's first Hercules upgrade set ships!)
For all the speed this is coming out, I have yet to hear anything but glowing reviews!

And considering they solicited feedback from fans via Encline as to what type of head they should release, we've never seen a close up of Giant's head-ever. Don't get me wrong, I've been in the Giant camp from day 1, but TFC flooded the internet with photos of Hercules as the project was on going, I'm just surprised we're at the ship date for set 1 with the other two just months away and still have so little to go on.

I don't know, Maketoys only has 1 real release to date (hover and glider) are just being released widely now) so we're still kind of asking that question. But hey, if this set is a home run for them, won't be any questions from here on out.

Actually, they have 2, this and the Tanker trailer for RTS Laser Prime, which is totally awesome BTW.

You're correct, my post wasn't clear. Meant to say that asides from the Tanker set, the only other product they have out is Bomber & Hover which are just being widely released now.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.
