Fire Giant Storm GiantI went with the 3.5 edition version of the Storm Giant as that versions look is my favorite version do to the Storm Reaver storm giant from DDO. Made this guy from a Marvel Miniature alliance Thor from Dollar Tree. Before pic After pics I started with the base Thor miniature and sculpted on a beard with milliput. I sliced off Mjonir and spliced on a sword blade. I anchored the sword by drilling holes in both the mini's hand and the swords blade guard with a small dremel drill bit and placing a bit of paper clip inside. Secured that with super glue. The giants leg armor was made from bits I found in my parts bin, I don't remember what they came from but it worked great. Hill Giant
Made a Hill Giant from a Marvel Miniature Alliance Hulk to go with my Fire and Storm Giants.

Wow those are cool! I would've never thought of using cheap action figures to do that. I guess I need to stop by the dollar stores in my area more often.

Very nice. I was at Walmart today and they had a closeout on a "Wreck-it Ralph" action figure wearing the Call of Duty military outfit that would make a great golem or construct. You just have to do something about the head. They also had a $5 tube full of zombies that were just slightly too big to be a good fit for medium sized minis. There was also a selection of Marvel action figures that could be repurposed any number of ways, but they were all full price. I almost bought the Wreck-It Ralph figure... it was less than $3.

Glad to see I am not the only one who thought Thor would make an excellent giant! I was soo thinking storm giant, but Loki keeps whispering "Frost" in my ear *grins* so I think that's what i will be going with!
