Haven't seen this anywhere, so maybe it slipped under the radar. But yeah, they seem to be making a huge gun for him.

Considering he already comes with a large gun and TFC is releasing another (along with a few nice add-on parts) I don't see this as a real great accessory to buy. I mean ... the guy only has two hands, right?

CrazyDevy is at it again! They've posted their third upgrade for TFC Toys Hercules, a "Giant Rifle". CDMW-30 is a super-sized version of their CDMW-05 (225 mm). It's scheduled for late May/early June and priced at $23.95.

$23 for a lame gun? How about I put that money towards TFC-007 and get the gun and forearm extensions while I'm at it?

This is their THIRD update for the guy.

#1 was the purple barrel (which is actually a worthy addition since so many, including myself, wanted it).

and #2 was an upsize of their G1 head complete with light up eyes.

This is so stupid $23 for a gun when I pre-ordered tfc whole upgrade kit for $30 on robotkingdom and it comes with a gun ,new forearms,new face and a add on for better shoulder articulation. So why would crazy devy even do this for such a price unless this gun is the exact g1 replica and g1 mega nuts must have it

No. I already ordered TFC's set which SHOWERS me with value.

I might see it worthwhile at $15 (although I was royaly disappointed with the "barrel" they sold at that price), but not for that much.

With the little information Crazy Devy uses to describe products, I was assuming a full barrel of guns to mess with. It was actually a conversion kit of just the outer shells, which drastically lowered my sights. If I had known it was a kit, I wouldn't have gotten them because I liked the green fine. I wanted some extra variety and play value, not sacrifice the existing parts that worked fine for me. (yeah, some could argue I still got that, but I only like whipping out the screwdriver for a lasting change like a new head)

Oh wow I thought it was a whole barrel to I'm so glad I didn't get it now

I always knew the barrel would just be a shell. I mean ... this IS Crazy Devy here. But one of the panels doesn't quite line up right, which is a disappointment, but not a major one.

Still, like almost always, it would have been nice had they been clearer about what they were selling.

Seriously? TFC announce an upgrade set containing a superior gun, a head, and extra should and forearm parts for 30 and CD go and announce a scaled up KO of the original toy gun for 23?

The worst part is someone will actually buy this.

I like big guns, but that's absurd.

GOOD GOD! I thought it was just to scale Herc...now that I see how unnecessarily big it is I HOPE they lose money. Fools. :BANG_HEAD:

I honestly see no good reason for someone to buy this abomination.

I highly doubt the articulation's there to lay/kneel down and snipe, but he MIGHT be flexible enough to convincingly wield that sucker with two hands.

If so, it may have a some charm, but really, all this does is stress how outsized the G1 gun was.

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Fri May 04, 2012 10:55 am

They need much more than two measly images to really convince me it's worth buying.

You know, Crazy Devy ... some other 3rd party weapons can split apart, or transform, or can be reconfigured in some way. If this gigantic gun could be split up to take advantage of Herc's MANY pegholes it's be more tempting.
