Search Synonyms Done: giant(ess), troll, ogre(ss), titan, collosus, gargantua, hecatron, firbolg, juggernaut, hulk, cyclop(e)s, ettin.
Impending Search Synonyms (sample): voadkyn, athach, hephaeston, verbeeg, yetun, yotun.
Cautions: The collection is sorted not by name, but by unpainted visual appearance, in this case, that of an unnaturally large humanoid (significantly larger than 1 inch in standing height to top of head) with the defining minor modifications given under the section titles. So what you might know as a "troll" may not be listed under that heading if the figure is unusually handsome and well-proportioned for a troll; it may be found under the giants category. Humanoids that are not significantly larger than human will be found in the Humanoids collection (orcs for instance). For Extraterrestrial humanoids, see Larger-than-Human Aliens. Since this collection will exceed the page length limit, links will be provided for each category as they become overlarge. Also, the collection cannot be expected to be kept up to date, as it is not the main purpose of this wiki to indulge the viewer with these special galleries; hence, a proper search should ensue if your figure cannot be quickly identified from this gallery.
To find the identity of the figure: Simply click on the thumbnail, then, on the page with the pic, scroll down to see what links to that pic and follow the links.

Giants - human proportions, regal air
There are many types of Giants, not all distinguishable by their looks: Hill, Citadel, Mountain, Fire, Frost, Stone, Storm, Cotswold, 50-Foot Ex-Girlfriend, Mountain, Fomerean/Fomorean, Cloud.
Famous Giants: Aloadae (50 foot tall giants) Otus and Ephialtes. Orion was the great hunter who could wade through the sea; Antaeüs (Antaeus) was a wicked wrestler who would always spring up stronger as he was renewed by Gaea (Earth). Cacus was the son of Vulcan (Hephaestus) and so, a fire-breathing giant. Talus was a giant made out of bronze, with ichor, the life-blood of an immortal; his only weakness was his behind his ankle, where a thin skin covered his vein.
Death Giants - skeletal giants
Hecatron
Not to be confused with "Hekatron", this Ral Partha favorite is at least 22 years older. Even in the insert for 10-304, it is unrevealed what sort of giant Hecatron actually is. He has been painted as Fire or Hill most frequently, though Stone is not out of character for this sculpt. The sculpt is not that large, so perhaps this species was meant to be of Giant-kin. Perhaps the sculptor was inspired by the name for the Hekatonkheires, but of course, who wants to sculpt something with a hundred hands?
Hulks and Juggernauts - overbulked for their height
Titans - very tall, garbed in Ancient Greek battledress
Ugly (regardless of disposition)
Ogre-Giants and Orcish Ogres - somewhat socialized, oversized uglies of normal proportions
