About this deal
The process has been pretty hit-and-miss for Hasbro, with a number of their projects not reaching their respective goals. I guess I’d need to know what the alternative pack-in could have been if we didn’t get the Doom Head.
I usually shoot vanilla pics on a plexiglass sheet and man this figure was slippery on that surface.I’m very happy to see that Hasbro addressed those issues with Galactus, as he has some crazy strong ratchets in his knees and hips to keep him upright, and even his ankles are impressively up to the task. Surfer’s connecting part is pretty self-explanatory, whereas Nova’s was a little tougher to figure out and even now I’m not sure I’m using it correctly.
The articulation moves better than I was expecting, with the elbows getting about a 90 degree bend and the knees a little more than that. At a staggering 32" tall and covered in intricate LED-enhanced detail, he's the largest and most complex Marvel Legends figure ever! Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens.
Hundreds of collectors have this toy ( 496) in their user collections, so it does seem to be very popular. The sculpting on these three is fantastic and the paint has lovely dimensionality to it that makes it feel realistic. It took some doing, but I was able to set something up where I could adequately photograph something as big as HasLab’s latest Big Boi and so, having checked out the three Heralds that came with him last week, I’m going to try to tackle Galactus himself. Hasbro Pulse invites you to join us in bringing the big man to our world, with all the features and detailing you know and love from the Marvel Legends Series.

As mentioned last time, both Silver Surfer and Nova have effect bases that fit into Galactus’ hands and they work really well at keeping them put for long-term display.
