| Well, there are still tons of "official" 2nd edition (and older) monsters that haven't been updated. I've recently been replaying Baldur's Gate, and in that game along I've come across half-ogres, orgillions, dread wolves, xvarts (these might have been updated somewhere), and more. I'm not even sure 3rd edition has an honest-to-goodness cyclops yet.

I agree completely. Firbolgs are one of my favourite giants (and I'm a man who sure likes those giants). They were in MM3 in 3E weren't they?

Firbolg = Aspect of Kord.
There are a great number of minis I'd much rather see produced prior to either of those. | |

Didn't we have a metal Cyclops mini put out prior to 3.0? It's medium-sized and in an awkward position.
And, much like the other Silver Anniversary minis, not terribly well sculpted.
I really should finish painting mine one of these days

| | The cyclops would be a better choice overall, since we do have stats for him and is more iconic, no pun intended. It would definitely need a better pose than the pic, as I said before. | |
