Would be a good way to release one of Simon's many costumes, indeed.

Haha to the person thinking the shadow looks female and just drawing boobs on the shadow.  Classic.

Just hoping Giant Man isn't too large.  12" to 18" would be acceptable.  If he's on the lower end and this includes evil Goliath for him to fight...too good to be true.  Will this body be reused for bad guys or alternate looks?  I can't imagine them running another Haslab with such a similar product/theme.  If the figure is on the smaller end (crowdfund to pay for cost of giant buck body), will future uses of the body be available via retail or Fan Channel?   Will people be mad about such ventures, since the Haslab will obviously cost more?

Really curious to see how large Giant Man ends up being, the cost, and tiers.  I basically didn't care too much about the Sentinel and Galactus tiers (their reveals didn't add or detract from my interest), but this project has the potential for some interesting unlock tiers.  Speaking of tiers...Ultron v1 anyone?

My personal wish is for a not-too-large Giant Man. Certainly not as big as Galactus or the Sentinel. So maybe 12-16”. Then  a variety of other grow/shrink characters, up to, I’d say four figures. So 16” Pym Giant Man. 12” Goliath. 12” Atlas. 6” Wasp, any costume. Plus shrunken versions of the shrinking characters, like Wasp, O’Grady, maybe Lang.

It'll actually be Growing Man, with a caped comic book version of Kang, as a tier. 😉

Ohmygod! We're finally getting an Inhuman's Nebulo figure!

Since HasLabs traditionally have electronics, maybe there is a button you push on Giant-Man's back and you hear sounds of his bones, tendons, ligaments and all that other fun stuff stretching, maybe cracking and creaking sounds... 😀

Love that photo from Shootingthegalaxy! Looks like this will be Giant-Man, which is very exciting! 

Agree with Ash Talon that Ultron-1 would be a fun extra.

Giant Man doesn't really excite me very much - I still have the BAF one and its still very cool. Maybe Clint Goliath? We never got more than an oddball repaint for that I think.

But the version I would want is Kree Skrull War with his wavy pompadour.

I would hope this is obvious, but I haven’t seen it mentioned a lot, whatever form Giant Man takes, please include a six inch Legends figure of him in the same outfit. Giant Man doesn’t spend all his free time in Giant form.

I agree.  Think I mentioned it a while back.  Regular sized version of the same outfit should be included.

 

Regarding NORM's sizing.  I think Goliath should be larger than Giant Man.  Didn't Pym have problems growing too big as Giant Man?  And then maybe it was resolved by Goliath time?  Of do I have that backward?

If they do keep his size reasonable I think they'd be crazy not to use the body for future big figure releases. I'm sure some people will fuss about it, but who cares? There are too many growing characters we need to worry about that!

A tier could easily be swappable Skrull and zombie pieces, although I'd prefer the tiers to be characters like Jarvis, Ultron I and DeMara Yellowjacket.

Can you imagine having a Zombie Pym head with brains oozing out?

Then there's Jan in the robot body...

The main reason I don't think it'll be MCU is because of the teaser pic they posted of "Giant Man's" shadow towering over all the (comic) figures. I feel like that pretty much confirms it for me. 

As much as I'd love it to be MCU so I can finally partake in one of these Haslabs and it'll also restore my faith that someone on the Hasbro team actually likes the MCU lol. It'd also drive me crazy because if the tiers are long wanted characters like MCU Hank and Janet and regular sized Cassie and we don't fund it I'd be pretty bummed.

Yeah I... think the MCU question may be moot.
