Now that the craziness for TFC Hercules is over. Let the fervor for Maketoys Giant begin. Here is a chinese language video review for the first two components of the next big Devastator in your collection. Check out the Youtube video below.

The coughing and horrible audio coupled with watching this guy fumble around with the figures trying to find a good pose make for an awful review. It's got it moments but overall not worth the 40 minute watch time.

Still pumped for these guys though... in green.

It's definitely an interesting move, going for the yellow first. Trying to avoid direct comparison with Hercules? I worry about Giant, especially debuting in yellow. I will 100% buy this set if it is released in green, although I would prefer it piecemeal instead of one massively expensive box set. I think Maketoys have it wrong here, and should push out the green repaints ASAP.

30 minute mark, he compares one of them to Universe Sunstreaker. so glad I went Herc, these guys are dinky.

This has nothing to do with this post but, I was looking online and came upon this website that had this pic. I s this really how the Giant will look in Green??

Unlikely it will be exactly the same, but it gives you a good idea of what it'll look like. Those photos have been Photoshopped by Joe Random probably.

Not knowing Chinese I just muted the video so wasn't aware of all the coughing, but I was thinking that the guy didn't really seem to know what he was doing. Either that or these guys are a little awkward to transform.

The boxart for this pair is little on the bland side. I wouldn't want that on display. The figures themselves look really cool I have to say. A lot better than I was expecting. Bulldozer's blade on the hips looks like it's quite the impediment, and they make for stupid weapons.

Biggest concern so far: bugger all articulation in the shoulder besides forwards and backwards.

Looks like Bonecrusher is fighting with a pair of snow shovels in robot mode.
