I wish some of the shots demonstrated the fig’s ability to bend (and rotate) at the waist as I have concerns about the rigidity of the suspenders and the resulting functionality of the ab-crunch. Even in the Marvel Zombies shot, the stooped posture is more about the positioning of the legs rather than full flexion. Sadly, I’m on the fence with this Haslab. However, IMO, the price is right and there are no characters being held hostage.

We’ll see, but I think this may end up being another failure to launch.

It's well sculpted. But it just seems a little...boring. Also, a launch with no demo is just weird. I guess the entire cowl is removable to accommodate full face plates?

It would have been better getting a Giant-Man the size of the Super Adaptoid. That would have been the right size. Hopefully, we can still get that, but good luck to those who want to get this funded!

It looks great, but the costume limits its uses to the Silver Age Avengers. Which isn't terrible, but...

I'm on the fence...

Giant-Man looks great, and at a reasonable price this time. But my big hope is that, like Firelord and that Heralds two-pack being released to coincide with Galactus, this means a first appearance Wasp is coming. It'd be great to complete the original Kirby-era Avengers (you know damn well that Avengers anniversary Iron Man is getting a gold repaint).

The concern over costume choice was the exact thing you mentioned...yesterday? Whenever. I guess that was a pretty difficult decision. Is there a particular costume you would have rather seen? What about everyone else? What the ideal Giant Man costume?

Credit where it's due. It's a beautifully executed figure. I love the swappable full face plates inserted beneath the mask (how'll that mask hold up over time?). Clear plastic eyes with interior paint is absolutely fantastic. I could make those face plates look near photo realistic.

The shadowing and highlight deco all over is wonderful. The full wrap harness/suspender thing is super clever. He'll be the best factory painted ML figure ever.

A very straight forward offering with some exciting innovation. I hope all you guys that want one are able to get it.

Yes, it was yesterday, but my comparison was more about Galactus’ armor (and the Sentinel) offering more opportunities for artistic expression/interpretation. Whereas a Giant Man costume must be more exacting to avoid the criticism of persnickety purists (a camp that often includes me, but not always).

I was confident that the sculpt would look good, which it does, they definitely didn’t disappoint..However, it might feel “boring” because, well, almost all his costumes are somewhat tepid in design. I guess, if anything, I would’ve preferred a costume that matched the ones we have for PYM:

(...or the blue and yellow version)

However, the costume that I like the most wasn’t even one worn by Pym:

...but had they made this costume, it technically wouldn’t be a Pym/Giant-Man fig, it would be a Hawkeye/Goliath fig.

That red and black suit is cool. I don't recall that.

Has he ever used any giant guns/rocket launchers or anything of that sort? I may be alone but, think some "Giant Man Gadgets" would have been a great include. Can you imagine that dude kneeling on a shelf with a massive plasma bolt launcher?

Hawkeye goliath just looks a bit to snm.

I hope this Giant Man figure get funded. I don't think I can handle another failure.

I thought this would fund easily, but looking at a few other sites forums and on Facebook marvel groups, quite a few people hate this. I had forgotten how nasty and spiteful some of the marvel legends fans are. I’m not sure anything will make some of them happy…..disclaimer…..not all….some.

Star Wars…man we always come together to back the vintage collection. Masters of the universe, we always make it happen. Marvel….the posts I’m reading on some of the Facebook sites right now….they just seem to want to shoot at the mirror.

I didn't say I don't like the figure, I absolutely love it and I want to get this new Haslab Giant Man. I'm just saying I don't want it to fail like the Engine of Vengeance, and I wanted Mephisto to be made so badly.

Not to my knowledge, but it’s feasible. His bag is bio-chem, physics, and robotics? But Stark, Forge, or Reed could outfit him well enough. The best thing is he could keep it shrunken with Pym particles then restore it for any trouble that presents itself.

lol Sometimes we see what we want to see in things. Sometimes my car is a shoe

I'm kind of wondering if Giant Man will get funded as well. There's a couple of things going for it, but there's also a couple things going against it.

Going for it: price point wise, it's not that expensive compared to other Haslabs. We've also not gotten a large scale comic Giant Man figure in well over a decade. It also looks nice.

Going against it: This is personal opinion, but the tier unlocks are not that exciting at all. There will probably be plenty of people who are mostly MCU collectors that won't have an interest in this since they have an MCU Giant Man.

The biggest thing going against it to me though? While it's been over a decade, there was a Giant Man released in the Marvel Universe scale. Two different versions if I recall, I have the red one. It's not going to be two feet tall like this is but it's probably close to a foot tall. That's plenty enough for me.

I won't be crowdfunding one. Sadly I even had to cancel my crowdfunding order for the Star Wars Ghost ship. Unexpected costs that are absolutely a priority, and while I can justify a $25-$30 figure here or there like one or two a month, I cannot justify these larger scale purchases at this point.

I think the people who don't like it are the ones who complain the loudest. It seems like a relatively positive reception so far, but the ones who are complaining the loudest have the stupidest things to say. At least that's how I'm seeing it.
I'm not trying to throw shade at people who genuinely don't like it but it seems like a lot of people are nitpicking it.

Totally agree with you bro Giant Man if funded will be an awesome addition and I am a 3.75 scale guy so go Haslab....

Well, I'm in. I didn't start collecting Legends until 2016, so I missed out on the Giant-Man BAF. Given how pricey that thing is on the secondary market, I've been hoping Hasbro would deliver something like this. He is certainly taller than what I'd prefer, but otherwise I think he looks stellar.

I'll admit to being a little concerned about him toppling without additional support, especially with any dynamic posing. He looked kinda top-heavy/wobbly when they were moving him around. Hopefully that's just due to it being a protoytpe.

IMO Giant-man looks great, but as-is I'm not feeling any necessity for him.

I also had no real need for the over-sized past Haslabs of the Sentinel & Galactus figures when they were announced, but their add-ons and unlockable tiers definitely sweetened the incentive to dive-in and I did just that.

Not feeling the same with this one.

I decided to back Giant-Man. While I'd be happier if he was 12" tall, he looks amazing and the price is better than previous HasLabs. Plus, I doubt we'll see another Giant-Man any time soon and I have a bit of regret from skipping the Sentinel and Galactus.

You should use a car deodorizer. :p

Watched Across The Spiderverse last night damn shame Habsro didn't include an unmasked Hobe Brown head with Spider Punk

According to Pulse, my HYDRA and SHIELD women will ship on Tues

Lol I was expecting an ‘old MAN who lives in a shoe’ joke but yours works just as well…

Keeps ya on ya toes. ;)

I got that email too!

See dude. You've already figured out the plot device LOL

He's at 4,134 of 10k with 42 days to go. Looks like you guys will be getting Giant Man. Man the eyes are fantastic. I've looked at those stills quite a bit. It's a fantastic innovation and really cool to see Legends catching on (Hot Toys has done it for years).

When I was a kid my dad had a side hustle painting all the street facing large front glass window signs of businesses in the downtown area of the small town in which I grew up. You know the kind...large windows on street facing businesses. Old School downtown setting. He would paint certain details on the outside of the glass and others on the inside. It created this great multi-layered effect. He also is a fantastic wood carver and painter. My family has an inordinate amount of artists.

Sorry! Not much to do with this HasLab LOL...It just triggered that memory.
