The Frost and Fire Giants will follow in around a month. I haven't yet decided whether to complete the set and produce Cloud and Storm Giant figures. What do you guys think?

grodog wrote:@ otherworld or EoC: have you ever considered sculpting the Terrible Iron Golem from WG5, based on Easley's illustration? That would be a very cool mini to own!
