    Can somebody snap a quick pic of the two heads with the faceplates switched? I'd appreciate it.

    I seconded this request.

    It's nice to hear the the faces can be removed from the rest of the head. I'm very interested in a new face, both of the faces included in this set don't look Devastator-like in my opinion. If/when a 4th Party makes a new face the price should be fairly inexpensive, since there will be no need for a entire new head.

    I'm waiting on TFsource to fill my preorder for this, Green Giant can't get here soon enough.

    TJ said the faces are removable, and either face could be paced in either head in his video review he posted today.

    Not sure I want to sell it, but would anyone be interested in buying my Yellow Giant?

    I may trade a green for a yellow if I can keep the new head

    You won't have problems with that, since quite a few people seem to dislike the new head. You're almost certain to make that deal.

    I have green Giant on preorder and I just got yellow Giant in the mail. I love this guy but he only looks down. Is there a fix for this or a mod?

    i think set c came with a replacement head with a better range of vision, and some other parts, but not 100% on the improved head.

    Ok, I might try that head. It just says in the instructions that it was if the original's neck was broken.

    P.S.
    Thanks for the great deal on the A and B sets and fast shipping.

    So.

    Um.

    Just got Giant 61 in the mail today. Looks awesome, but I've yet to play with it. Mostly because of this:

    Currently talking to BBTS about getting a new instruction manual. So, unfortunately, these guys have to remain packaged until a new booklet finds it's way over here. D:

    That sucks, but how's that happen? My instructions came in sealed plastic with two layers of cardboard between it and the outside.

    FIXED.

    The second head doesn't fix it. It is 100% the same.

    So I notched out the back of the ball joint hole just enough to have the neck fit in there. The ball joint is still tight and he can look up at about 20 degrees.

    Same here. But apparently somewhere along packaging, the instructions got wet. Was still damp by the time I unwrapped it, too. Everything else in the package was dry as a bone, though.

    The instructions aren't really that helpful, the only time I needed them was to see where the guns and extra bits went in other modes.

    Just go for it already.

    Getting not-hook connected to not-longhaul wasn't fun. For some reason it wants to twist. Ive triple checked everything for fit, but its still not right. I did get it to lock on, but I fear its stressing something.
