personally i think the kidz should keep pumping out the big figs.it'd be cool to have some 1000 or so point games with nothing but big figs.sentinel and sinistro are pretty coo.but what're some other biggies?? i've read a bunch of threads for fin fang foom,some pertaining to the mole man's monster(that'd be sweet)galactus (i love him but,stoopid idea waaaay to powerful to be done right)eternity would be cool lookin' but in the same crowd as galactus.so who's left?apocalypse,that would rule if done right.who else?? the only fig i can think of that'd be do-able and way cool.Terminus the ultimate entrepreneur.still huge stats and powers but galactus he is not so how 'bout it realms?any ideas on stats and powers for terminus(mephisto'd be hella cool too) or is it a boge idea?hit with it anyway about it.

Someone had an excellent idea of a Magneto in a ball of magnetic energy on a big fig base.

they can do the entire "Giant" series of heroes/villains, if you ask me...

Marvel Set:

Giant Man
Goliath (Clint Barton, not Hank Pym)
Black Goliath
Atlas
Fing.Fang.Foom (see if anyone remembers this one...)
Sutur
Sphinx
The Stranger
Godzilla (marvel did have the rights at one point...)
Red Ronin
High Evolutionary
Nuklo (he grew huge in one Avengers book)
Dragon Man (maybe somewhere inbetween in size...)
Tower
and of course....Galactus

add away if you like.
Someone don't forget to start a DC Set.
(although I do buy DC, I won't bother with one until (if) they release a new set...grumble...grumble...)

DC? the only two that immedately spring to mind would be the LSH's Leviathan and Violet (who gained growth powers)

Not only do I remember Fin Fang Foom...I know how to spell his name too...Just kidding. Well I actually remember him....I'm kidding about caring how you spelled it. I have been thinking about giant figs for a while, specifically Iron Man related big figs. Fin Fang Foom would make a good one and so would Ultimo. The problem with these two I think is that they might be TOO big. Not like Wizkids cares too much about scale. (Did anyone else notice that Nick Fury is taller than Mr. Fixit?)

How tall is a Sentinel supposed to be? I thought that Sentinels are like 20 feet tall. In Heroclix scale though it might be like 80 feet tall. I think Ultimo and Fin Fang Foom are both around that height...although Ultimo has grown since his first appearance somehow.

The anti-Titan TRIGON would be cool. The titans could be AE's.

One of the coolest ideas I've heard for a big fig is a Dark Pheonix. You would have a ormal-sized Phoenix at the base, with a huge translucent flaming bird towering above her, made out of a similar material as Sinestro.
Red Ronin would be very cool, and Terminus is a good idea too. I still remember when he destroyed the Savage Land. You could create some epic battles with that guy.

I remember reading an interview with one of the designers - at the wiakids website from memory - that he would really be interested in doing a DC Chemico big fig.

For those unfamiliar, Chemico was a bullet headed walking chemical monstorosity.

Personally I reckon a Shaggy Man would be really cool. Big, indestructable and very very strong.

:D

What about a big Imperex or Imperex probe?

That can't be right. I know fixit just barely fits in the compartment of my carrying case, but I don' t remember having any trouble getting fury in there.

But has anyone else noticed how Thanos makes Darkseid look like a chump when you stand them side by side? I'll have to check the marvel/dc crossover and see how they scale to one another.

M!

But Shaggy Man, though large, was not on the scale of the Sentinel/Sinestro figs. He would be about the size of Juggernaut, maybe a little bigger.

I LOVE the Dark Phoenix idea for a big fig. That's the best idea I've heard so far on the subject.

If you're going to do Surtur, you might as well do Ymir, too.

Someone somewhere posted an idea for a modular big fig that could be Giant Man, Goliath, or any one of several other growing characters in the Marvel Universe. You change them by swapping heads or adding accessories. Of course, they'd have to have the same basic power structure.

How about Eliasti-Girl from the Doom Patrol for a DC big fig?

DC could do a Chemo piece that was liquid inside with stuff inside either floating around like a snow globe or slime with chucks of other industrial waste. Range attack is a given which many of the other large characters suggested don't have. This would also give DC the excuse to put some Metal Men characters in to an expansion set.

Some DC Big Fig ideas...

Starro
Manitou Raven (AKA Apache Chief) in his "Inukchuk" form.
All five metal men as a big robot.
Titano
Chemo
Imperiex probe
Hal Jordan in construct (Imagine THAT up against your Sinestro!)
Badda Bing Badda Boomsday, with Mxyzptlk on his shoulder... (Ok, that last one was a little far fetched.)

Basically all the other big figs options are bad except maybe Dark Phoenix, but of course she would be way too powerful. No one really wants any of those characters, at least not on a large scale. Yeah I'd like a Fing Fang Foom, but not many even know who he is..... I'd like to see vehicles next instead of another big fig.

To add some fuel to this fire of thought, what about vehicles?

The Batmobile?
The Batwing?
Starman's rocket?
Motorcycle characters like Ghost Rider, Punisher, Wolverine and Cyclops?


And other big fig possibilities:
Lex Luthor Battle Suit
Metallo (circa late 1999 with the B13 enhancements)

And who wouldn't want to drop $20 on a Superfriends-era Apache Chief?


(please note the sarcasim on that last one)

'course Hal Jordan would be SWEET!

I think an awesome one would be a whole set of Green Lanterns.
Imagine BUnches of Green Lanterns joined together with say Hal Jordan in the Middle. That would be cool. All of them inside a little green orb. KILLER! I'd definately get one.
