In fact, the campaign has now unlocked two stretch goals as it heads into its waning days — a new Frankie Reyes Marvel Legends figure and a new Silver Surfer figure with an alternate head. Friday morning, Hasbro revealed the third stretch goal should the campaign tally 20,000 backers — the ravenous Morg. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. This was not a cheap figure, but the massive size, supporting figures, quality finish and brilliant, beautiful glow effect on the eyes make this feel worth the cost. The Surfer’s base does have swivel hinge to it for additional poseability, while Nova’s flame base has the hint of a peg and a flame part that can wrap around her leg to hold her in.

Sure, there are a few things to nitpick here, but not a single one of them has hindered my enjoyment of this toy. Another unique feature is the figure's light-up capabilities, which add an extra level of detail and realism. The Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Haslab Galactus stands tall at 32-inches, being the largest Marvel Legends figure to date. 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. Galactus will be the biggest Marvel Legends ever, bigger than the Sentinel at a total height of 32 inches. One of the most iconic characters in comic book history comes to towering life as the next Marvel Legends HasLab project.

Galactus is a larger-than-life figure in and out of the Marvel Universe, and here you will have a chance to help do him justice. I still like the Masterwork figure a lot, but I can’t deny it looks a little rough and dated compared to the new HasLab Hotness. I honestly don’t see why they couldn’t have just taken the sound clips from Masterworks Galactus and put them in the big guy, because those are excellent. Hundreds of collectors have this toy ( 496) in their user collections, so it does seem to be very popular. My first impression of the figure was that it felt very much like an upscaled version of Hasbro’s Masterwork Galactus from the Marvel Universe line… that is until I put the two together and realized just how much more detailed and complex this new version is.

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. I don’t pretend to know all the economics behind this operation, but I do know when it comes to a giant Galactus figure, my financial judgement cannot be trusted. The downside of the Doom head is you are missing the exquisite sculpting and light-up glory of the main head since the head lights are all powered by batteries in the head. Galactus is a truly out-of-this-world figure in and out of the Marvel Universe, and here you will have a chance to help bring him to life.

Galactus has been a long-time favorite with fans of Marvel Comics and it's only a matter of time before the character is inevitably introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Two new tiers were unveiled as Silver Surfer at 17,000 backers and Morg at 20,000 backers - these were both surpassed quickly and the final tier for 22,000 backers was confirmed as an alternative Doctor Doom head. You’ll receive a code for the points if the campaign is successful at a later date after the close of the HasLab project. I was sure he didn’t have lateral rockers in the ankles, but eventually I discovered them while playing around with him.

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. A near-omnipotent being who must consume entire planets to survive, Galactus cares not for the lives doomed by his hunger. From his distinct square irises to his figured boots and gloves and stoic, glowering expression, our hunger for perfection knew no bounds!
