I'm pretty sure that it's just a Photoshop scaling error.  Reaper would have to confirm, buy my guess is that the giantesses will be the same size as the previous Huge giants.

 

Just posted a question on the update comment thread. Be interesting to see the response. (It wouldn't surprise me if the scaling were off.)

That is the best looking set of female Giants I have ever seen.  Dynamic poses,  clothing and armor that is actually appropriate,  and effective.  I am getting giants this Kickstarter after all. Hell I may just add another set in the pledge manager just for my daughter.

 

Good job!  I am stoked for how awesome these are

either they are big, or they are bringing home a tiny caribou:(

Love the giantess warriors!!! I can't imagine such awesome minis selling any less well than the male giants, so hopefully we will see more such ladies either in this KS or in the future, to cover the other giant races.

 

I love the caribou on her back, but agree that the caribou should probably be about the same size as the winter wolf (large base size), so I fear that it may get scrapped.

Realistic looking weapons? Check. Functional adventuring gear? Check. Kickass expressions? Check. These are exactly the kind of female giant I was hoping for.

Could be a young Caribou.

Anyway..love the Female Giants, they look ready for war!

And I need that Wolf, multiples of that one actually.

Per Ron, the scaling is correct. Those will be some big giants.

 

See below for more on scaling.

I'm okay with that!

David - close. It's difficult to approximate sizes using concept art sometimes. The Winter Wolf will be sculpted to fit on a 2" base though. That might change height or length, but we'll do our best to make it fit to the art as close as possible.

I think I need a full set of Frost Giants now...

[Cranky Dog]

[Out for most of the day. Comes back. Sees update.]

 

 

Those giantesses are amazing! Everything we could hope for short of having them foam at the mouth while swinging a weapon in berserk rage.

[Crowley]

Those giants really are perfect. Now if only I was into giants... I've only gotten 1 from the previous kickstarters. 

[Jessie]

Updated my pledge to include the new giants! Thanks Reaper so much for listening! Hope to see a few more badarse female warrior giants (fire, hill, stone, storm) pop up before the end!

My response to Ron's post after some research:

@Ron: " If you have the male frost giants and female frost giant from Bones 3, they'll be that size."

You might want to recheck your art scaling in the image. Frost Giant Warrior #501 from Bones 3 is about 2-1/2 times the height of the Bones Anhurian Archer (83mm to 34mm from bottom of foot to top of head respectively.) I make these figures to be about 4 - 4½ times as large as the Sir Forscale in the image (100mm and 85mm to 22mm on my screen).

Which is not to say that I dislike them, I like the art quite a bit, just that your scale reference seems significantly off.
