So, the other day I was reading this thread about turning toys in to minis, so I went ahead and bought a bunh of used toys at… well were i bought them it's a story for other day. the point it's I bought this awesome templar (I think they are templars,correct me if i'm wrong) soldier minis, and I don't know what t turn them in to, the size it's kind of weir so maybe an ogre or something. I don't know, any advise image or drawing would be much appreciated In case you haven't noticed english it's not my first language so excuse the bad grammar.

true mini comparision please. i'd entertain the idea of 1-2 being mutant soldiers that were taller and overall bigger then average size. aside from that... im not sure, hill giants or the likes perhaps.

Due to the club I'd suggest a Hill Giant as well. (such a strange weapon on a templar) The tunic does pose a little problem for Hill giants wear little clothing but skins.
Another thought, give them a stone texture and use them as statues. I can see these flanking a hall of valour or 'guarding' some shrine.

What scale is your standard Human? These are larger than 60mm toys, so depending upon the size of your typical Human figure, they could be anything. If your Humans are 28-30mm, then I would suggest using them for statues. There are other toy figures useful for Giants: 54mm Cave Men work great for Hill Giants for 25mm Humans, or Ogres for 28-30mm Humans; 60mm Vikings (Cherilea) work well for Frost Giants, for 25-30mm Humans.
The statue suggestion works for any scale Humans... The club is an oddity for a Knight Templar. But for fantasy, it works. Cheers!

Definitely thinking statues...
Is the cross on their chests raised? If so I would try to smooth it out, sandpaper, dremmel
then 'cause they are each holding up an opposite arm, make them into entryway statues holding up an archway or torches or a trap
if you wanted you could add a bit of clay bits to their helmets, or little plastic pieces so they don't appear so plain
