there\'s 4 heads.
2 in the upper left, including the one shown on the box, and 2 in the upper right, including the horned head.
Frankly the unhorned heads look pretty dull to me.

I don\'t like the standard pose, but with all those bits he\'s just chock full of potential. If any of you read old folklore (Celtic), the giants were almost always described as \'mishapen\', so I think this definately qualifies as a giant of \'mythic\' proportions (pun intended). 
Anja, incredible paintjob, VERY photo-realistic. A great paintjob goes a long way in making even a \'crappy\' model look sweet, and the \'eavy metal guys are lucky to have you.
I think we\'ll all change our minds over the coming months as we start to see conversions of this pop up in the gallery; can you imagine what Scribor can do with this much real-estate?

It\'s a general anatomy thing though. I can understand it being fat, but when something gets fat, it doesn\'t just hang around the gut area. Generaly you see some fat around the arms and legs area too. I love the paint job (And not just because it was done by one of us), but the proportions just throw me off.
[Edit]
I\'m still probably going to get him and maybe the excessory sprue a few times too
lolI\'ve been looking for good conversion potential, and this guy is it!
In which case its a massive compliment that you can paint so smooth it makes me think its been photoshopped... yeah thats it...
runs off to hide...
Seriously, for me its a bit too clean, I like things like this gribbly, but then we know you don\'t have full freedom in the HM team.
That accesory sprue is wicked, love the cloven feet. Whilst I still don\'t like the basic mini, the extras really sell this, its gonna be awesome for the converters out there.

I quite like that new giant. Alot of potential in it. Tons of extra bits too. The pose really isnt that bad at all... The only thing that catches my attention is that the base doesnt look like its the standard 50x50 base to me. It\'s too bad I already have a giant for my orcs, and I can\'t see any reason to get this new one...

Looks a bit in between the cavalary and chariot sized bases, im guessing they have stretched the size of the base to just support the model, it would probably fall considering the pose if it was on a 50x50 base.

I\'m not so sure it would, it is all plastic afterall, and most of it is hollowed out
I quite like the \'normal\' head from the pics on that page. Something doesn\'t look right about the horned one though - the hooved feet look good, but I think it needs to be hairier or something lol
Incidentally, I like the ones where they have given the skin more \'texture\', breaks up the large areas of flat skin and looks more realistic

Maybe the design team use their own bodies for inspiration lol
I agree with everyone who says the sprues have potential- alot of potential. No longer will you have to scrape about trying to find money for skeleton sprues just to get the single arrow- now we have about 12 of the bastards on one sprue!
Personally though, the look of the Giant isnt my cup of tea, personally i like my giants chunky and i thought the 6th ed one was sheer class, if not the most ambitious of poses, i never really was a fan of the \"Albion\" look skinny giants.
That said, the sheer amount of options i think will make this a very popular conversion kit.
