That head sculpts brilliant. I hope they do it justice on the paint side of things.

They said its Paul wight. He Didnt have that hair as wight. Had ponytail. Could be a different fig than proto we've seen. Wore tights also.

If FB Giant comes with a NWO shirt, I can see people buying 3-4 of this figure the same way they bought 2 of his elite that came with both Raw and SD tag belts. It would be very smart marketing by Mattel to boost sales.

I'll reserve judgement until I see the final product, but that proto looks REALLY bad. The boots are WAY too short, and the scan looks like Chuck Palumbo.

It would be very smart marketing by Mattel to boost sales. It wouldn't fit other figures. Every NWO shirt I've tried to use on my Giant custom is too small

Every NWO shirt I've tried to use on my Giant custom is too small I agree if it is a full shirt, but if it is one of the over the shoulder shirts like Mysterio it wouldn't matter. Better a slightly large shirt for average sized figures than no shirt at all.

This shirt will probably be plastic.

How the hell can you tell how good the scan will look when it's in a low-res picture cast in colored plastic? I'm reserving all judgments until we actually see a painted prototype, possibly at Toyfair next month.

Anyone who is passing judgement based on a half year old proto which has no details yet whatsoever. Just stop. Whiners man you guys just look for things to complain about.
As far as him being cancelled and brought back, that is very true. He was set to be released as a future flashback about a year ago. (NOT THE LEGENDS LINE, it was long gone by then) Then they said they scrapped the whole idea. For some reason they are bringing it back now whic h dos is cool but they better include an nWo shirt. That would be badass. Cloth singlet would be just as good.

I thought they had come back and clarified a few days later it wasn't canceled, bit rather needed a slot to put it in

I think they brought him back because Big Show refused to sign a new contract a few weeks back, and so Vince had him drop the title to ADR according to a few online sites. Maybe Mattel wanted to cash in on the Giant figure before they lost any right to do so. Just my thoughts!

Well they stated that it will be the Giant not Paul Wight. This Proto does look like the Giant when he was in the WCW. I actually like the head mold. I am thinking it will either be an early Giant figure or NWO Giant. If it is a early Giant figure, it will probably come with a WCW belt and for the NWO Giant probably removeable shirt. That is what I am hoping though...

From the pic it looks like his facial structure. It'll look much better painted. And seeing the legs have tights molded just above the mid thigh I'm guessing it'll be one of his early wwe looks because when he was in wcw I only remember him wearing a singlet like Andre's.

Like the fact that there releasing two Paul Wights at the same time. If that's the case I actually agree with them getting a updated angry Big Show and Giant figure out before they lose the rights to him.

Very true. So if its based on his 99 debut, he won't come with an NWO shirt?
