Excerpt from "The Galactic Almanac Of Developed Species" (Fourth Edition):

The most biologically varied sentient species on Tolkien III are the Trolls. There are several major species of Trolls with each species having dozens of subspecies. The smallest and most intelligent species are the "Forge Trolls" standing 1.5 meters in height while the largest species are the "Great Trolls" ranging in size from 4.5-15.5 meters in height and weighing several tons. Trolls' intelligence levels vary greatly as well with the smallest trolls being mechanical engineers and far more advanced than the largest, who are slow witted brutes.

Great Trolls are walking siege engines, carrying heavy forged metal or stone weapons which they use to smash fortifications and squash smaller enemies. They are also incredibly resilient and will continue fighting even after suffering multiple injuries- many believe that is this is because they are too stupid to feel pain while others think that they are too dedicated to destruction and death to stop fighting.

Note:
The figure (1 of 2 "Masters Of The Universe" 12" Negators I have) aside from the shoulder pads is not a custom, the customs are the mace and shield.

Image

The mace is made from the handle of Negator's ball and chain weapon, a section from an old McFarlane accessory and the spiked ball alternate hand from the recent "Marvel Legends" Sandman BAF I got in my 2017 Hasbro Toy Fair Event goody bag.

The shield is made from a dollar store child-sized role play shield that I trimmed down and added a pair of Chap Mei riot shield handles to the reverse.

At first glance it looked like you were using a camera with some fancy up close lens. Then I realized that it's a massive figure!

Amazing!
