Big Guys - Giants, Trolls, etc...

[the_Archivist]

This thread will higlight large characters like giants, trolls, ogres, golems, etc that are large characters from 1:18 scaled lines or larger figures from other lines that would "fit" in with 1:18 scaled lines.

I will also show how some of the search functinality works for species and category. The Archive is still a bit sparse for this now but I'll be filling it gradually.

Species

Trolls & Ogres
Giants
Creature - these are generally just larger animals like Wargs and such but can also have smaller things like womp rats. Its really anything that is not a real earth based animal.
Dragons
Kaiju

Categories
Creatures

Supplement lines also have a lot of bigger characters from larger scale lines that work well as 1:18

Marvel
DC
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Masters of the Universe
Chap Mei/True Legends
Pacific Rim

more to come...

I do have some of these but they are still boxed up from moving, as I bring them down I will add scale pictures.

 

[the_Archivist]

I'll start with some of the new figures shown at Toy Fair 15

Goliath from Funko's Evolve Legacy line. He looks to be about 9" tall

 

[the_Archivist]

Stitches from NECAs upcoming Blizzard line Heroes of the Storm. He appears to be about 8-9".

 

[the_Archivist]

Masters of the Universe has some good figures that work well as giants and such. One they showed over the weekend that I really liked was Calix a rock type character. e appears to be about 8" tall.

If I do get this one though I'll probably paint him to look more like a volcanic golem.

Toys R Us - True Legends 4 Armed Troll

This guy is still out at TRU for about $10-$15 and is about 6"-7" tall

 

[the_Archivist]

Giants from the Masters of the Universe - Classics line - 12" figures

Procrustus

Megator

Tytus

 

[the_Archivist]

The Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix line by Popco has the giant Grawp in it. He is about 12" tall.

 

[K-Tiger]

Mattel's Mountian Troll could work, too.

 

[the_Archivist]

The first Harry Potter line also had a Mountain Troll that is about 8"

EDIT: Damn you beat me to it

 

[Videoviper]

Any Hulk that is bigger than 1:18th scale = 1:18th scale Hulk

Seriously for giants I use a 2 year old, They have real smashing action!!!!

 

[K-Tiger]

Truth ^^^

 

[the_Archivist]

I have a lot of those Hulks listed in the Marvel Supplement and Movie Hulk lines.
I'm always adding more for him since there are so many larger scale lines that he shows up in.
Movie Hulks are about 6" which I think make a good Hulk size.

Lizard works good in bigger scales too.

Abomination also works better at bigger sizes.

I really like the Marvel Select Abomination. He is a huge, heavy figure for $20. He is about 8" as well.

[the_Archivist]

ToyBiz Lord of the Rings has some good Trolls that are about 10"

Cave Troll

Battle Troll

Armored Battle Troll (hobbits are 4")

NECA's 42" Balrog (human for scale)

 

[the_Archivist]

Treebeard

17"

12" Applause

[the_Archivist]

The Goblin King from the recent Hobbit movies is also a deluxe sized figure at about 6"

 

[the_Archivist]

McFarlane's Spawn line also spawned some good ogres and trolls.

Ogre Series 11 - Dark Ages about 7" tall

Dojo Series 19 Dark Ages Samurai wars - about 8"

Cygor 2 Series 12 (comes with small robo-chimp) roughly 8"

 

[Videoviper]

personally I always liked the oversize 90's version of venom, so I use the 6" figure.

 

[Meddatron]

My son has those gloves.

 

[the_Archivist]

McFarlane Legend of the Blade hunter 7"
Ogre

 

[the_Archivist]

Spiderwick Chronicles Mulgarath 7"

 

[the_Archivist]

NECA Diablo Lord of Terror 7-8" (ha, my 777th post is about a demon...)

[Iok]

Did you get the Marvel Universe Ice Giant (the one with Loki)?
That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Gigantic Battles Savage Frost Giant and Loki

 

[cb671]

I saw the NECA Diablo Shadow Version on ebay....I wanna get both!!! but only the Shadow Version is was available...it was around $29.99 to $39.99 from what I have seen

 

[the_Archivist]

Yep, him and a couple giant Skrulls. There were also 3 Goliath figures I did not get. All are 12"

There are also some 6" Skrulls in the marvel Supplements section

I've been adding sculpt detail to one of the Skrulls to make a Gorax.

 

[the_Archivist]

Lets not leave the ladies out either

Giganta from DCUC Collect and Connect 12" tall i think

Various incarnation of the Alien Queen

Kenner

NECA 15" tall 30" long

McFarlane AVP2 - 7"tall

Revoltech it says she is 320mm tall

Funko (will be added once they show her)

Microman 12"

Hot Toys Snap Kits 12" (4" figures for scale)

 

[nacho]

While not the tallest, Marvel Select Juggernaut is one of the heaviest chunks of action figure I've ever encountered. It's like an anvil. I could anchor my fishing boat. I'm not sure how the heck they sell it for $20-25 and not lose money on raw materials alone.

And of course, the ML & MU Sentinels & Galacti (Galactuses?), ML Apocalypse are big boys...

 

[the_Archivist]

the ML & MU Sentinels & Galacti (Galactuses?), ML Apocalypse are big boys...

Found a nice comparison picture of them with ML Giant Man and a bunch of MU

 

[K-Tiger]

Dunno if this is approrpiate, but an articulated Japanese dragon is aces to me:

TAKEYASHIKI JIZAI OKIMONO KT-004 RYU FULL COLOR FIG (C: 1-1- - Midtown Comics

 

[the_Archivist]

Heck yeah Dragons go here (except maybe the baby Smaug...)
I saw that one yesterday and thought the same thing. 67 POA!

Some other good Dragons:

Fing Fang Foom - Marvel Legends BAF

Granamyr - Masters of the Universe Clasics

Darkfire - True Legends I'm actually going to be getting this one pretty soon

Kronox - Chap Mei This one was redone for the True Legends line as a Hydra

 

[K-Tiger]

That particular line has a Kirin, that might make for a good mount, as well as a Gaikotsu, which is a big skeleton. He comes with 3-4 head options, but I didn't post him as I couldn't get a proper bead on how articulated he's gonna be.

There is also a sister line based on Buddhist gods. Not for the budget-minded collector, but if they were ever to branch out into Hindu deities I'd be first in line for Kali.

 

[WVMojo]

Has that 6" Black Series Wampa hit the streets yet?

 

[K-Tiger]

Nope.

 

[the_Archivist]

I guess giants would have skeletons too.

These are some 1/6 scale skeletons. I'm sure any skeletons from 4"-12"+ could fit somewhere in with 1:18 scale.

Standard color

Old color:

 

[K-Tiger]

I wish there was a good 1:4 scale skeleton. I'd use one as a gashadokura for 1:18 figures.

 

[Videoviper]

Lets go old school.

Tiamat

Clash of the Titians - Kraken

 

[the_Archivist]

I always liked that Kraken.

a 1/4 skeleton would be about 18"?

here is a decent looking model with some articulation. It would need a serious paint job though.

Alvin SKE-3A Child Size Plastic Skeleton

 

[K-Tiger]

I imagine I could find a proper one at a medical supply type joint, but I imagine it would be expensive.

 

[the_Archivist]

I'd bet there would be some decent ones on sale after Halloween as well.

 

[K-Tiger]

Skeleton SMALL 18"

Something like this, only not floppy. A 1:4 scale Pose Skeleton would do.
