$200?! Shocked, but very pleased.
Hope that $200 price is true! I think it makes perfect sense for all the reasons mentioned previously in this thread. Hopefully the offering looks great and the community responds positively (or most of it, some quarters are just incapable...)
I'll be surprised if there aren't any tiers. Will also be surprised if they try an early bird again since that backfired last time.
For what it's worth, I didn't think there was attitude coming from the team around the EoV. Maybe once or twice they got a little churlish in an interview, but I'm not gonna fault them that given the intense negativity directed at them for weeks on end. The primary complaint was price, it was repeated at them ad nauseam across every channel available, and there was not a thing to be done about it at that stage. Not really a lot you can do in that situation to not let any negative reaction seep through the cracks. Given that this will be the capstone of the Avengers 60th product push this year and the price is (probably) more in line with expectations I think they're well positioned to have a much different experience this go 'round.
I'm highly skeptical of that $200 price tag. Fingers crossed.
People seem to want a giant man that's more classically scaled at closer to his avengers teamate's heights.
I know I'm probably alone on this (or close to it), but I don't need a Goliath/Giant-Man that's much taller than the Toy Biz series 4 figure. I'd be perfectly happy with something 9-14".
That might not be the best fit for a HasLab campaign, but as I stated earlier in this thread, if it was accompanied by figures that couldn't make it to retail otherwise, like Jarvis, I'd be perfectly happy.
@sepster this. I’m cool with Dan on Twitter and met him at NYCC and he’s always been super awesome.

To each, their own. We all definitely have different tastes - and that's the way it should be!!
Personally however, I'd definitely pass on anything smaller than the ToyBiz BAF. I'm not going to buy something that isn't an upgrade over what I already have. 18" in the minimum height that I'd consider purchasing in order to replace my BAF version. I feel that BAF was just about perfect and still holds up really well!
I've got a couple of those old Goliaths like you pictured above with the minimal articulation (5 POA, I believe), but unfortunately the antennae came off both of mine. If I remember correctly that was a repaint of a Giant-Man from a box set of 5" figures for a previous Avengers anniversary (probably the 40th). I've also got the Marvel Universe 12" red version (not the SDCC exclusive modern version) that came with some other 3.75" figure. I was always bummed that I couldn't find the more desired blue and yellow costumed one. I only display the BAF, though - the others are all packed away (as are the WCA jumpsuit Hank and classic Ant-Man that were released earlier this year). I only need one Hank! I have that 12" Bill Foster Goliath that came with the 3.75" Ragnarok in my display too, though! The new What If version definitely isn't replacing that.

You are not, I'm also trying to understand why people need a man in spandex in this size...but to each their own. I want him to be Super-Adaptoid size. Classic Sentinels too. These huge figures are just clunky and awkward to use.
200$ feels right. The previous offer for the car was just insane. But we'll have to see what they show first.

yeah you're probably mostly alone on this... i think if we got a giant-man that's shorter than the Marvel Universe troop of giant people (skrull/goliath/SDCC modern giant man/etc) people may riot.
At this point I'm mostly out on Marvel Legends, but I would consider a Pym Giant Man at this price if it looks good. I always regretted selling my BAF one. If nothing else, maybe I'll rebuy that one for a hopefully cheap price once the new one comes out.
If it comes with a classic Wasp, it will be really hard to pass on.
Huh. I'm cherry picking ML these days, too. But a redux Giant Man does nothing for me, much like the EoV.
Despite the leak, if it's another "big-ass figure" I'm still pulling for another of the Cosmics: Arishem the Judge, Eternity, The Living Tribunal, etc. Much more compelling (to me) than another Giant-Man.
But to each their own.

I'd also strongly prefer any of those characters that you mentioned, but I honestly can't imagine any one of them getting enough backers to fund under a HasLab. Arishem would probably be the most likely due to people being familiar with him from the Eternals movie --- but that also might serve as a double edged sword and make it less likely for him to fund due to the unpopularity of that movie!! I've always loved Ziran the Tester of the Celestials as well. There was a rumor for a while that an alternate Ziran head and cloth cover were going to be a tier for Galactus (instead the Doom head was announced) and I definitely would have jumped on that!
I'm guessing:
Picture #5 - the reveal of Giant-Man as he joins the battle
Picture #6 - The other tiers join in the battle
Picture #7 - The Avengers stand united together with Pym saying 'Avengers Assemble"
I'm highly skeptical of that $200 price tag. Fingers crossed.

I generally agree - if we get another Goliath in that costume I'd be happy with him to be the same size as the old Gigantic Battles big figures, so about 12" tall. Same with Clint as Goliath, Bill Foster, MoE Goliath, Atlas, etc. I suspect Haslab Giant-Man will be bigger than that (18-20") but that's ok - I actually want some variety, and don't need all the big guys to be the exact same height.
I'm gonna guess it's an 18-inch Giant-Man (it has to be bigger than the BAF)
My guess is this is being overlooked. I'm thinking there is no way it isn't at least 1 inch taller than TB Giant Man. Don't remember how tall he is.
I hope he's 18 or so inches tall. Bigger than Toybiz but not Galactus sized.
That being said the Toybiz one is still a great figure so I could see some people passing if they still have that and the add-ons aren't that interesting.
Not sure what direction they go in for the add-ons..100 plus 3 or 4 regular figures I guess?
FA Wasp
Jarvis?
Immortus (to tie it to the movie)?
Masters of Evil Wonder Man?
Rita DeMara Yellowjacket ?
Alkhema?
Hank Yellowjacket seems like he would make it into a retail wave
