Shattered Glass Hercules On The Way?

Planet Iacon has updated their Facebook page with a picture from 3rd Party Group TFCtoys' Weibo account. This picture shows the Hercules chest plate in red and Exgravers gun and Hercules' visor in transparent blue. The picture suggests a Shattered Glass repaint of TFC Toys Hercules may be in the cards. If you're an alternate universe kind of guy, get your wallets ready.

Keep checking back for more images as we get them!

unless it looks absolutely stunning, I am gonna be buying another Giant to repaint into SG instead.

Eh ?

I can count on one hand the number of people who actually want to fork over another $500-$600 for a SG Hercules.

Some people were waiting for toys for characters who have never had toys yet. G1 green and SG white are the only two decos to appear in fiction, yet only the green has ever had a toy.
ORIO
Next time I spend anywhere near what I spend on Hercules will be for Superion
puma
seriously. Give me rest of the combiners is massive scale first please before you waste my time with repaints.

I won't lie... I didn't buy the original, but i'd try and go for this just for the "what the fuck" factor.

Certainly wouldn't do it for Hercules.... but give me an SG Giant for around $350 and I'll pre-order instantly!

Stuff isn't cheap to produce, I'm sure. Gotta get the most out of the molds the same way Hasbro does. I think this is cooler then another yellow G2 version. I hate SG, but I understand why they're doing this.

Damn my obsession with Shattered Glass. Hopefully Captured Prey offers them in a complete set like Green Herc again.

I would like them to produce 20 sets, and then make you fight for them on pay per view.

Best freaking idea ever but have the dress up as different characters!
Shatterpoint
Well now I have to buy the Hercules molds, unless Giant comes out in SG colors too.

Shattered Glass... or Diaclone? Because the Diaclone also had a red chest...
cryotek
While it might look cool, I'm not dropping another $600 on this. I want the other combiners 1st.

Please be the latter.

Unless it's 350 or cheaper I don't think I will b buy n another herc. But seeing finish product weither it's a diaclone ver or shattered glass might change my mind. I rather it b s.glass ver personally

My thoughts as well. I might be into a Diaclone version!
Prowl4680
This is all well and good but I need a Structor to finish my Hercules first!
Yobuster
Man i'm definitely NOT spending another $600+ for a repaint like that. But knowing them they will add some other remold or extra into it to at least make it palatable.
Count me out, i'm saving my beans for Maketoy's Green Giant.

Based on what we know, that could be 5/6ths of the cost of Hercules for Super Ion, if that makes anyone feel better. That said, TFC's Not-Silverbolt could be Ultra sized for all we know, not to mention several other possible size combinations in total. Then again, anyone who splashes out on the likely optional extras for Super Ion that will probably be put out by CrazyDevy, Dr Wu and so on might bring him up to the $600.00 mark, haha.

You know, if they do the white constructicons I'll be upset but it won't kill me. It's an easy repaint for them to get some more use out of the molds. And if it helps them get funds for their takes on the Technobots I'm all for it.

I love Shattered Glass but from a cost standpoint I'm going to have to pass for now. Wishing them the best of luck on this release tho for sure.
Grandum
yeah, this can't end well.
Trikeboy
I am a huge shattered glass fan and a Hercules fan however going by art in the comic, Giant is a closer representation of the SG Constructicons. If they release an SG Giant, I will snap it up like candy.

Diaclone might interest me, Shattered Glass you can keep.

To my understanding, they are already planning a SG color set as one of the releases from the pictorials shown, with the colors based off those from the comic.

600+,where did you order from? Why is everytime someone post Green Gaint,i think of vegatables....

On the bright side,for those that like to repaint,you couldn't ask for a better color to paint on.
G.I.EDDIE
heres the "would you buy a SG Herc" poll...not too many takers...

AWW CRAP! I was afraid they'd do this, no way on earth I can justify a second Hercules. but SG Constructicons are beautiful.
TFKaiser
oh man my wallet is hurting as it is. No way I can get this.

I already preordered Green Giant after going to an anime convention last weekend. oh geez. lol
exclusacon
I don't know.....might really be hard to pass this up.....

caretaker27
Wishful thinking but, maybe if it was sold as a set of six and since the molds are already made, it will be cheaper. By how much is the question though
WreckageGhost
I hope its not SG, and just the diaclone colors!

I love using my KO devy i got from walgreens when I was younger as build king to fight devastator.

i say i wouldn't but if they did do one i would probably be very tempted especially if they released it in stages like last time
