Alternatively: civilized classical variants in togas and maybe some Cyclops?

Or indeed both the above options? With some extra arms for mods, we could even head off to Burroughs' Barsoom!
Also worth a look at how giants have progressed in the new 5th edition D&D Monster Manual, as an ancient civilisation, the different types of giant having very varied abilities, natures and physical appearances, not the mere thuggish brutes of much real-world folklore. Though D&D started the process in its earlier incarnations, the latest version seems to have brought things together in a - to me - more satisfactory way. So some giants are still thuggish brutes, but others really aren't.

Incoming set teaser with some coloured minis samples. (Actually Giants deserved their own set, so these are "just" Trolls...) Most probably in full set I'll add second "tribe" versions - so exactly the same figurines but different colour scheme - let's say brown/sandy or greyish skin-tone Trolls? Well the question which is bothering me is should these minis be published in kinda more appropriate/correct version? If so then some elements like these small dessicated heads should be removed etc.

I think they add character and make them look more vicious. Were you thinking of making kinder and gentler trolls?

I vote to leave them scary. They are not any worse than a lot of Halloween decorations they sell at the super market.

<...> Were you thinking of making kinder and gentler trolls? + <...> They are not any worse than a lot of Halloween decorations they sell at the super market. LOL... right, good points:))) --- In the meantime some work in progress mods preview - perhaps differencies are not that significant (at least for a first sight) but a lot of possibilities opens...

If trolls are giants that is a large slave girl. Also, where does that "belly plate" buckle to?

If trolls are giants that is a large slave girl. Also, where does that "belly plate" buckle to? Right! Well, now she is definitely smaller (picture replaced) Ad. "belly plate" - underneath chainmail? There is (or should be, but who knows those trolls! some sort of shoulder harness, which is clipping together plate and metal pauldron...

That troll looks very pleased with himself. Are the fingers of his right hand behind the pole?

That troll looks very pleased with himself. Are the fingers of his right hand behind the pole? Well, you know - gold, girl... perhaps I should replace horn with some bottle of wine or mug of beer then he would be crazy happy lucky one troll Ad. fingers Hmm... trolls are known for short and bold fingers! But seriously speaking you are right - my bad - this mini was designed as "universal" one, meaning with an empty hands, so I can easily exchange weapons, add shields or other accessories. But in this case I definitely should shift banner pole more into left. Most minis in this set are (hopefully) OK perhaps except these with banners, hope that will be not so noticeable after rescaling in final version.
