They keep using that logo with classic Falcon and 1st costume Ms. Marvel. Bring 'em on Hasbro!

I'm Sorry, but that "smiling" Giant-Man face on 13:06 looks like Danny Elfman from «Little Girls»...
Otherwise he is fine. Didn't expect anything else
Trying to decide on the likelihood that a 12" to 15" version come along, as watching the video reminded me why I had been on the fence with this - at this size the character dominates the display too much for a team lineup, at least for me.
I like the display options with Galactus (with the FF and the Heralds) and Master Mold (with other Sentinels), but less sure about Hank with the rest of the Avengers. What I have been considering is positioning him kneeling and hunched over with the arms spread out so that he is "holding up" the shelf above him with his arms and back, protecting the rest of the Avengers (think the Secret Wars cover with the Hulk holding up the mountain...)
If that doesn't work I will be tempted to flip him - which makes me think about not even removing him from the box.

What you're describing reminded me of this Alex Ross group shot:
Though looking at it now the perspective is weird - almost like the rest of the team are on a hill in front of GM.
I’m glad he ended up at 2 feet. My shelves are 18” apart so he can manage a kneel down and look like a good centerpiece without me moving much.
The Galactus and Sentinels really ended up being difficult to find a good spot for. Would’ve loved a different pair of suspenders rather than the zombie or smiley faces that’re just never getting used.
When can we expect The Haslab Giant Man to hit online stores like Amazon on the aftermarket? Just asking.

Hasbro doesn't sell them to retailers so you're asking an unanswerable question. It'll be on Amazon and eBay when collectors list theirs on those platforms, and who knows when that will be. I'm sure many will sell right away, so it'll be interesting to see what the market price ends up being. Looks like he's going for $350 to $400 shipped on eBay right now.
The first two Marvel Legends Haslabs became available on Amazon, so it's only a matter of time before Giant Man becomes available to.
I hope there is another offering of the Hank/Jan 2 pack. That sold out too quickly
There were a few questions I forgot to ask the team. One of them was will there be any companion pieces to Giant-Man shipping, like Yellowjacket. Another was why didn't Jan come with a small version.This one I can answer. It was about the only question I got a chance to ask them, and unfortunately the answer is not good. No, there will not be any more Giant-Man or Ant-Man related figures this year. No Yellowjacket and no bronze age Wasp. They have their schedule planned out for the foreseeable future and the size changers aren't on it.
As for why Silver Age Jan didn't come with a small version, that I don't know because I didn't think to ask, but the answer probably comes down to what it always comes down to: Budget.
Again, as always, it doesn't mean we're NEVER going to get an updated Yellowjacket or Wasp. I'm sure we will at some point, just not in the immediate future.
Shipping label has been created and added to my FedEx queue. Should have it in hand before the end of the month. Insane.
Just checked and likewise. Guess Hank will be here before too long. Huzzah!!
What I meant to say is I'm waiting for Giant Man to be available on Amazon by a third party seller.
I think I'm saving my Giant Man, Dragonfly, and Thundercats Lair all to open on Christmas Day.
