Now that TFC Toys Mad Blender is out in the wild the first in-hand images of the fully combined Hercules have started to pop up. The Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group have posted a nice gallery of the fully combined figure in a number of dynamic poses to show off it's range of articulation. We've mirrored their images below.

Holy Crap that's a thing of beauty!!!

That heavylabor fix is going to be needed for those poses. I can hardly wait for my last two to turn up - so glad I went the Herc route.... :APPLAUSE:

Man, this thing just impresses me every time new pics are shown.

AWESOME!!!

The next person to post pics of this I would love to see this big guy standing next to the original G1 Devastator or Omega Supreme (or both). I think people would like to see more size comparison pics instead of just of the figure alone. Let's see him standing next to Unicron or even G1 Fort Max.

Epic indeed. Must be a good feeling for those who purchased it.

He will be all I ever dreamed.

I hope Maketoy is ready to really wow us. Be it despite, or because the first run is yellow.

There was a picture not long ago of him next to Unicron (IIRC Herc's a smidge shorter).

Two more to go.

Is it wrong of me to anticipate this more than I have most HasTak toys from the last 6mths?

Depends where you shop. Don't trust rip off site BBTS for these guys. RobotKingdom has them at $79.90 each and can get a full set of Hercules in one order for $508.10. $28.70 of that is shipping. It comes in at $479.40 before shipping. Beat that BBTS.

It looks nice but for that price I'd want better looking individual robots (the gaps in the knees of the two with track-legs is really lame) and MUCH better shoulder articulation.

Or try ACESTOYSTORE.COM..They have had all of the figures for 89.99 shipped from california for around 6 bucks and they all arrived within 3 days of ordering. I will agree with Robotkingdom though, they are pretty badass..

The only thing BBTS has going for them lately is the POL feature. It's super easy to just ship a ton of stuff for alot less..

What, no size comparison pics (in the main article I mean)? Size was one of the key factors Herc supporters were touting, so a plethora of pics with various figures would've been highly appreciated and logical.

Very happy I was an early adoptor of this set. Waiting a week until I get paid is going to be pure evil.

You have no idea

Once I get him, I MIGHT have some fun with him tackling autobots and crushing them. Maybe use some of them as baseballs

Not a bad plan if you can find them all in stock at the same time. For those of us in the U.S., shipping runs about $63.
