Ok so I figure I'm going to need a giant in my WoC army. Problem is, the GW giant is uuugleey.

So I'm looking at these two:

Krug, hill giant chief


Ettin Nor'kok (far more Chaos-y)

The biggest concern I have is the size. Does anyone know how these scale up to the WHFB giant?
The last thing I want is a dumpy-looking giant.

Also, what's the deal with the fluctuations in price?!
If anyone knows of other cool-looking giants, please add some linkage!

Cheers guys and gals!

They are much shorter, not even half the height if I remember my GW giants. These are more the size of trolls or ogres.

Balls. I reeeally don't want one of those fat fethers that GW do. It's that fat belly and those stupid leather chaps that do it; it looks gak!

IIRC, they're not too much smaller than the old Marauder giant. The new plastic giant is pretty huge, and not much is going to match it in size.

Nurgle Giant: ....minus the cap

Slanesh Giant ...minus the poor wolf

I did think about Spawn (or indeed any action) Figures Luna, thanks for the pics.

Thanks bubber for the Black Scorpion link; I've never seen their site!

Thanks guys, it's going to be a tough choice now!

When did Spawn cross the line form action figures into gore porn?

And I thought Japanese toys had issues.
