So im thinking I need Hercules... thing is my cabinet space is only 33cm high, and from what info I can find Herc is around 38cms (not sure if that's head height or to the top of the excavator arm on his arm/shoulder).
Anybody have one or at least know the exact height... or if hes articulate/balanced enough to be posed in a crouched like position?
Thanks!
This I just measured at 32cm to the top of his head. If you lower Scavenger's shovel so that it hangs down around his forearm then it will fit... Just.

Awesome mate - thanks very much for that!!
Probably looks better with the shovel up but I guess ill see what I can do.
Maybe pose that arm out so the shovel is in the right spot but doesn't add any height to Herc.
Yeah that's what im thinking ill do, something similar to Trent though with opposite arms.
Just gotta buy it now... but im procrastinating!
I recommend you buy it :). Its my favourite 3rd party figure. Its a cool piece of kit.
Its a long shot but I hope they release an Orange Devastator or Yellow G2 Devastator
Done... Urghh the 1/4 Scottish in me is hurting though!Quote:

I am a massive combiner fan so to me the only thing cooler than transforming robots is transforming robots that combine to make a massive robot. I get it about budget its an expensive purchase. Gotta think what else you would rather spend it on and what you would prefer to have.
There is another 3rd party devastator called 'Giant', you can get it in green version and also yellow version. Might be from Make Toys.Quote:

I actually prefer the Giant look to the Hercules look myself, maybe I can afford one of them one day!
Well I managed to break him a touch whilst trying to get the ROH arm connections/shoulders in... maaan are they tight. Fixable and unnoticeable but annoying none the less. I put them in upside down so the shovels don't sit up so high & it'll fit in my cabinet better... I think it looks cooler this way anyways.
All up hes an awesome figure. Probably not worth $500 in my opinion, but worth having!
I didn't worry about the rage kit on mine. I like the tread forearms and it makes it look different from Giant (which is next to him).
Yeah the way ive put him together I probably didn't need to worry about it either, but it came as a packaged deal.
I think tread forearms make it look like the arms are actually transformed from a vehicle and not just a vehicle stuck to his shoulders (why I preferred Herc to Giant)... the ROH kit makes it look even worse I think as they sit up so high, though with the new shoulder joints upside down the vehicles look more like they make up the bicep portion of his arms... plus the arms hang lower making him look more 'monsterous' if you know what I mean.
Well he fits in the cabinet... just!
Could make him stand straighter by rotating the bucket downwards but I think it looks better as is, he'll just have to be crouching a bit.

Good stuff
From reading the thread title, I thought this was about how low of a price can Herc go.. LOL! Drat!
Now that ive just bought one after procrastinating for a while... the price will probably plummet for no reason.
Edit.. Just found this, cheaper than what I paid, and can even make an offer: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TFC-Toys-...item2ed24f253d
Cool! But he doesnt ship outside his country. :(
Sorry I didn't notice your location!
