As for the height-challenged Frost Giants, I'm really liking lars573's idea of calling them Frost Trolls, while the Gigantic Battles version serves as a proper Frost Giant. Gives them both a place without really contradicting each other.

It would also give King Laufey a bit of a Napolean complex, which is awesome.

Well the Norse stories that feature Jotun are not consistent about their size. Some stories that feature them describe them as being around the size of these figures compared to something thats human sized (like say Thor). Others describe them as being the more traditional size for something called a giant. So really Hasbro (and possibly the movie) are perfectly justified making these guys the size they are. And I feel perfectly justified calling them Trolls. And making them a smaller subspecies of hr�*mþursar (Frost Giant).
