I was really on the fence about this one for some time, and finally caved and ended up coming down on the side of TFC Hercules instead of MT Giant like I originally expected.
This guys is much bigger than I expected, even after seeing various video reviews and pictures of him over the last little while.
He is a great shade of green, and the plastic has a nice a heavy quality to it. He doesn't seem fragile at all. He is one item that if he fell from the shelf, I would expect him to survive intact.
He seems to be well jointed and articulated, and I've had no problems posing him, with the shovel attached to one arm. He seems to balance just fine.
His transformation is nice and simple, and I had no trouble changing him from robot, to vehicle to limb and back to robot mode again.
The only flaw I found is mine has a small smudge on the black paint on one shoulder. But nothing I would be too bothered about. I could always fix it with a sharpie or a quick touch of black paint. Nothing that would be noticeable in combined mode I don't imagine.
The only downside I can see is his price, but he's such a nice figure, and weighty and nice gauge of plastic that it blunts that quite a bit. IMO a much better guage of plastic than FPs Insecticons I just put out I would add.
Bring on the rest, hopefully a month or two apart as planned. And let's hope no one misses any along the way.
