The first 2 packs should arrive in a few days. Most of Hercules's issues have been resolved via replacement parts but newer moldings should have the fixed parts already installed. My Exgraver had the fixed shovel with it instead of the faulty one. The decision should be made based upon what you're looking for. Are you looking for a revamped G1? Get Giant. Are you looking for a new interpretation of Devastator? Get Hercules. I can't make a final decision on which I prefer yet because I don't have Giant in-hand to compare to yet but it has alot to live up to. Hercules is HUGE. He is heavy, he is solid, he is mean looking. He embodies Devastator. Giant may surpass him but I can't make my final decision until I have the whole thing in hand. Tough decision though, I feel for ya.  |

| Decepticon  Join Date: Dec 2011 Posts: 199 Location: Ireland Collection Count: Too Many | I'd put this simply as the following:
Now, you listen here! He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy! Now, go away! If you've Bruticus witht he Fansproject addons and you ideally want something around the same hight, get Gaint. The question of Green or Yellow depending on if you want G1 or G2. If you don't have Bruticus then Herc is an amazingly detailed toy and towers over your classics like he should. He's basically an updated huge version of the old G1 Devy only cooler. But he's more costly than the Giant. Me I went for them both, I wanted the G2 version of the Giant to both go with my Fansproject Brut and be ordered about by my G2 Classics Megatron who looks rather sucky against my Maketoy upgraded G2 Classics Prime.
