Neca's quarter scale Daredevil and Deadpool also came with quite a lot of accessories (and were fully articulated).
But, whatever, the point still stands I suppose. I dont know if I'd go so far as to call it a steal but, I guess it's fair-ish compared to Neca 1/4. |

As far as coolness….Neca will always win that one. The sculpts and details are unmatched and I still say the best figures ever made….ever….are the Neca TMNT film figures in both scales. |

Not sure why you would mention Neca's accessories when this Haslab only comes with 2 alternate faceplate as accessories if only the base goal is met, and 2 additional faceplates if the max backers are met. Neca's movie Turtles came with 7 extra hands, weapon, and a pizza slice. The new Neca 1/4 animated series Turtles comes with even more accessories. (communicator, grappling hook, etc.) Bringing attention to this Haslab's accessories is not the way to go.
End of the day it’s up to each of us on whether this is worth it or not. I feel it’s worth it. Last edited by Comedian; 09-08-2023 at 03:23 PM.. |

Neca 18” figures are about $125 or so now. They have limited articulation and few accessories. This is 24” and fully articulated. $199 for this is a steal. I’m not sure some people have a grasp on how much things actually cost.
There is actually nothing I can pick apart about this campaign. Everything’s perfect. I would expect this to back easily. Most likely well north of 20,000.

Man, at "only" $200? Really kinda tempting, in a different way than the Sentinel or Galactus that I would've liked to have gotten but just couldn't justify the expense....
This might be the first Marvel HasLab I actually take the plunge on. |

Strictly stating a fact. Most Neca 18 inch figures…..16 inches for the turtles come with few accessories, save the newer turtle figures. And Comparing an 18 inch figure with very little articulation with a 24 inch figure that has more articulation in its hand than most big figures have total is definitely not the way to go.

Ti be fair, there is no reason for Giant man to come with extra hands when his hands are fully articulated. Also, I can't really think of many accessories a Giant man if this size would come with, other than other figures. I think the face plates and skrull head work just fine.

In my opinion hasbro Should have given normal sized version also .This is very cool if your wanting Antman , honestly how else would you get this sized figure .
Although Very rare but I have seen that giant neca Deadpool in target one time and another time years ago I saw the huge neca Jason Voorhess . Both were priced strangely one was 100 other 199 .After thinking about space I went back for a second look and were long gone by next visits. Last edited by CosmicCreature; 09-08-2023 at 11:25 PM.. |

If you feel he’s not worth it, not a problem. We all get our opinions. There seem to be quite a few on different sites that feel as you do. So maybe hasbro should have anticipated that. I really can’t say. He is around a third backed, so I guess he’s doing ok. |

I think accessories they could have provided was just swooshes and bam like effects.
If they included a 6 inch figure, then a printed backdrop of him growing would have been a nice touch. I'm thinking a diorama approach. Heck how about a building for the Avengers to assemble on? But that's more suggestion then it's required to make this a good offering. I think as it, this is a good offering. |

Giant Man came out better than I expected. I didn't think I'd be paying only $200 for this Haslab. The no figure thing is a bit disappointing but Giant Man really is all I wanted. I'm not very interested in that zombie face but I definitely like the Skrull one. The new eye technology is super incredible and kind of creepy but awesome nonetheless. If it didn't piss off my family I'd get two and have Giant Man fighting the Skrull like War of the Gargantuas.

Only thing I can think of that's missing is possibly an unmasked head, or another masked head without angry eyebrows sculpted into it!

Strange? Odd takeaway. Like I said. It’s either worth it or not to someone. My take is, if you do a figure correct, it shouldn’t need extra incentives. To me this figure is worth $199 as just him. I bought the barge for the barge. I bought the razor crest for the razor crest, galactus for galactus, Eternia for Eternia, the thunder cats lair for the lair….you get the point. I’ll buy Antman for Antman…not extra pieces that go in a drawer never to see the light of day again.

I'd rather have the accessories be Giant Man specific like the face plates and skrull head. I can get generic building parts and smashed ground effects anywhere. At this point I think some people are just looking for a reason to mot like this.

They can address the packaging. An open window with a cover will allow people to display Giant Man inside the box. If they could be really clever, a box that opens up and becomes a backdrop/display would elevate things without being that expensive to produce.

4x the size of a 6" figure at 8x the price.
I'm ok with the Goliath from Marvel Universe 70th Anniversary... |

It's not the worth of the Haslab I didn't even really make an opinion on that. Like I said, I focused strictly on the strange accessories comment of Neca 1/4 figs when this Haslab has basically nothing in that department. Don't strawman into Neca articulation or the worth of the Haslab. I didn't say anything about those. Your knock on Neca's accessories remains unwarranted and strange to me.

It's not just 4 times the size, it's 4 times the height but the other dimensions are also increased and therefore the volume is well more than just 4 times more. If you take a simple box and double the length of each dimension then the larger box has a volume 8 times larger than the original box.

I’ll stick with my comment. The Neca 18” figures I own have few to no accessories and left me looking for more. Beside, being very fragile and almost statue like to me. They are not a good example of a large scale action figure. If you think otherwise, that’s your opinion. Kind of how opinions work. They don’t usually agree and everyone’s entitled to one. Kind of odd to me your hung up on this so I’ll quit with this conversation. Zero interest in arguing over Opinions about toys with a stranger.

The backer count seems to be a slow trickle at this point. I know there is still over a month left for it to fund, but I hope we see a quick upward tick soon. Then again, I already know I'm going to back it but haven't done it yet just out of pure procrastination.
