Ginormous Giants Custom Contest
This contest is to celebrate all things giants, enormous, humongous, huge, well, you get the idea.
Giant figures have always been something memorable,and giant customs are even more. For this contest, you can submit any figure from a character which is bigger than the average human -no Daredevil Marvel Icons would be allowed, it has to be a character that at some point he has had gigantic proportions, and has to show that moment-. So, a obvious choice would be Giant Man for example, but you could also do Dr. Doom when in the Secret Wars he grew as a giant, or you could do a gigantic figure of Hulk.
We would be speaking of a big figure in comparison with 6 inches, so no 6 inches Juggernauts for Marvel Universe would be accepted.

How does the contest voting work?
Anyone can vote for their favorite customs in the contest, you don't even have to submit anything to the contest! You do have to be logged-in to your Figure Realm account though so we can keep track of the votes. Only appointed Figure Realm staff can see the votes, so anonymity is guaranteed. Voting begins once the entry deadline is met and lasts for a week.
It's hard to choose just one custom to vote on when there are tons of great entries, so Figure Realm has a unique voting system where you can vote on ALL the customs! When you click on an entry to view, there's a bar with buttons on it that lets you give the custom anywhere from 1 to 5 Stars. 1 Star means you think they could have done a better job on the custom while 5 Stars means you think they did a perfect job. The votes for each entry are added up when voting is closed and averaged-out to determine the winners. Also, don't abuse the system. Don't give your own custom 5 Stars and then give everyone else 1 Star to boost your rating. Remember, the votes are monitored.
Some points you might consider when casting your vote: Is the figure well-made? Is the paint smooth or crusty? Are there noticeable fingerprints on the sculpted parts? Is it an original custom? Is it accurate to the source-material (comics, photos, description in a book)? Are the pictures clear enough to see the details? Did the creator take the time to include a back-story or recipe? Is the custom so unbelievably awesome that you'd trade your dog for it?
Craftsmanship and creativity are major factors to consider, but ultimately your vote should depend on how much you like the custom, and how well you feel it fits the contest theme.

Anyway, looks like a good turnout, good job everyone
Anyway, considering the work it takes to make such big figures, the turnout is relatively good compared to other contests. Good luck to all!
thanks for the report
EDIT: Huh, it shows up now. Guess it needed time to update, or it won't accept text in that field.
What you can do is invent your original giant, such as a new Frost Giant, or a new Celestial or whatever.
Come on, just one entry posted! we need more giant power!!
Answering your question; it depends, if it has been drawn or portrayed in any media as a really big or tall character you can. For example, Hulk has varied hugely over the years, so you can make him nearly as big as you want. I have seen also Colossus being portrayed gigantic, and Zangief too, but the Big Show is just a tall real person, so he wouldn't be accepted. Lobo as far as I know would not be (according to the wiki he is 7' 6"
I mean, to clarify things (sounds a bit blurry!) this contest is for figures bigger than a Marvel Legends Hulk. So the smallest is a Marvel Select Abomination, or a CnC Atom Smasher. Not smaller than 9 inches. I mean, if you were a 6 inch figure guy, what you would call a giant would be no less than an Atom Smasher. Otherwise the spirit disappears.
Of course, even if 9 inch is allowed, I suspect it will be far more impressive and appreciated bigger figures.
