    What would you put on this shelf with Predaking and Green Giant? I have no preference but was thinking one leader size figure or maybe two deluxes. **Keeping clutter to a minimum is important**. Just looking for suggestions.

    What would go here...if anything?

    Just in case anyone is wondering, it's a $27.00 shelf ;)

    Fansproject Colossus would look good there.

    Ok, checked out Fansproject Colussus...very cool. I'm assuming it's around the same size as the two guys I already have? Yes/no?

    Onslaught, I have Bruticus on pre order so that one will definately be tried when it arrives.

    Thanks.

    Definitely Colossus. He's about a head shorter than Green Giant.

    Predakign2000, Is Colossus one of two deluxe size figures that come in a set? I looked at the Fansproject site and that's what it looks like it is. Thanks

    To Construct Colossus You Will Need

    Crossfire 02 - New G1 Color - Set of Explorer & Munitioner - Third Party Transforming Toys & Accessories FansProject

    This set contains the two FansProject limbs, which are roughly large scout sized. These replace Swindle and Blast Off in the G1 Colors edition of the Energon Combaticons Reissue set.

    Bruticus Maximus Asia Exclusive Reissue - Transformers Energon Exclusives

    You will need both sets to make the "G1 version" of Colosus.

    I've been wondering this for a while too, so there is no straight up figure you can buy called "fansproject colossus"?

    Glad to finally have it cleared up. It looks cool, but that Energon Bruticus looks like garbage.

    As far as smaller figures, (while I don't have Giant, I have Hercules), I love having the FP insecticons displayed at Hercules feet.

    I recommend looking into Fansproject Menasor. Not released yet, but guaranteed to look badass with Giant for sure.



    Colossus is a cool set, but yes it does suffer a little from using Hasbro's Bruticus Maximus.
    But, if you can stomach those three parts (which aren't awful, just not as good as the 3rd party stuff), Colossus looks awesome fun.

    Though if you do get Colossus, I recommend looking in Radicons about using PCC Heavy Tread as Brawl. It doesn't look a too complicated mod, but Heavy Tread makes a much nicer Brawl than the other Brawl does.

    FP Not-Bruticus. If not FP Not-Menasor will come out soon.

    Luckily you seem to be a 'con collector, and MakeToys/Fansproject have catered pretty well to you- their Menasor, Bruticus and Devastator. All three look pretty fantastic together, I'm sure there's photos on them floating around as such. Can't recommend em enough!

    It might be worth heading over to the third party forum once in a while to see what's new and heading our way. There's probably something else that'll take your fancy!
