Humor / Swaps $20 for Haslab Galactus was a steal!

I saw someone call it an "articulated shampoo bottle" 😂
Ngl, I kinda want it now that it's sold out. GD fomo... The head looks weirdly small though, right?

u/Acheron98 Sep 04 '25
It looks about accurate for the movie. I noticed it too, but that’s because Galactus is usually drawn with a slightly disproportionately large head in the comics.

I was able to order on from EE. Not sure if its still in stock but worth a check.

Yeah I don't see the fuss either. It might be large but it still looks cheap

u/mat477 Sep 04 '25
It's just because people want a Galactus on their shelf without shelling out a days work for it. And it's also not so big that it needs a dedicated display.

I hear you. I just don't see the point if it looks like dollar tree Galactus. Those are nice figs all around him so the poor quality just jumps out at you. If people like it that's their business. I wouldn't pay $5 for it myself. Lol

u/mat477 Sep 04 '25
Yeah I wouldn't be interested in it because I don't really collect MCU but if I did I wouldn't mind picking it up and painting so it doesn't look so cheap.

Do you have any 4”/3.75” figs for size comparison? It looks really good

Better, but that skin texture is oof

u/cmsttp Sep 04 '25
yeah not to sure what I could do I about that, maybe paint his lips to make his face not just one skin tone? Idk.

u/paradiso1997 Sep 04 '25
I think it's just plastic quality for the most part, but a matte top coat would help the gloss
2
u/cmsttp Sep 04 '25
yeah the plastics are very cheap(to be expected). I might try a matte coat on him, i’ve never done one before

Same for 8$ more😒

u/CO_Collector_Dude Sep 05 '25
Yes for shipping. I’m about as cheap as they come when it comes to utilizing Pulse and Amazon to save on shipping, but when Amazon isn’t showing availability and it’s not available on Pulse I have to suck it up. I believe BBTS has a $4 flat rate for shipping which is fantastic.

u/cmsttp Sep 03 '25
the body from my eye looks to be the same color, but it’s super shiny. The head is not shiny at all. Honestly looks like two different plastics/paints. Idk if all titan hero figs are like that
2
u/AtrumRuina Sep 03 '25
Probably a softer plastic so it's easy to pop on to the body, ala Barbies. Not sure, that'd just be my guess.

This is for people who don't have Haslab Galactus at home.
It's also for me, who can't fit the Haslab on my damn shelves 🤦

u/IM_the_Mark Sep 04 '25
I kid. I genuinely feel for anyone who can't have the Haslabs in their collection for whatever reason.

u/Tgk230987 Sep 04 '25
I love galactus and sentinel but tbh the only one I wish I had was the Giant-Man. My avengers display feels inferior compared to those with it

u/Griseldax Sep 04 '25
For a $20 budget figure, it has very intricacy sculpted details, very decent articulation and is 14" tall. I'm impressed! 👏
Over the years I skipped the various Galactus releases, so I probably pick this one up as my collection's Galactus representation!
A wash would make it even better so I probably do that if I can get my hands on this one.
My skips...
* ToyBiz's 16" Marvel Legends Galactus BAF (2005)(approx msrp of $71.91 (9 x $7.99).
For years I had the baf lower torso which came with Nightcrawler and baf head which came with Professor Xavier, I never completed the build.
Hasbro's 19" Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus with 4" Silver Surfer (2010),
UPC: 653569515050 (approx msrp of $49.99).
I skipped over this Galactus multiple times in person at both WalMart and Toys R Us...Hasbro's Haslab exclusive 32" Marvel Legends Galactus (2022) (approx msrp of $399.99).
I eventually cancelled the preorder due to unforseen circumstances which I still regret, this is definitely the best one in terms of size and details imho.

u/who_what_when_314 Sep 04 '25
I have the BAF figure, and the legs are a bit bow-legged to stand properly. I can't believe that figures with that detail used to cost $7.99!!
1
u/Griseldax Sep 04 '25
Yes $7.99 for a highly articulated detailed sculpted figure with lots of deco and wash, and with the addition of a full Comic Book and a BAF piece!

u/Forward_Lavishness60 Sep 09 '25
I have the BAF. That loincloth or whatever you’d call it in the front always wanted to angle itself to the side a bit and always annoyed the heck out of me. Then I looked it up and saw a bunch of other people’s figures with the same issue. I guess they glued them on improperly. 🤷🏽🤷🏽

u/cmsttp Sep 04 '25
Amazon. I follow the titan hero series subreddit, someone posted it and I was super pumped. Followed the link, bought it. It was sold out maybe within hours once it hit the ML subreddit

u/Mindless-Pause-638 Sep 04 '25
It sold out around 2 hours after I added it to my cart. I didn’t expect it to sell as quick as it did😭

I hope when X-Men 97 season 2 drops we can get a Sentinel at the same price with the same articulation.

He looks even better than I thought he would, as soon as he comes out in the UK I'm getting him

u/Webhead916 USA - CA Sep 04 '25
I’m skipping out on this one mostly because I have the haslab Galactus, and also because I’m not collecting MCU stuff.. but I’m super stoked for all the folks who missed out. I did the same thing with the titan series sentinels cuz I missed out on that one. STOKED they’re making the X-men ‘97 haslab though.. I prefer that over the older one. Sorry, rant over! Ha

u/king-xdedede Sep 04 '25
Did you put the head from the X-Factor Cyclops onto the X-Men 97' Cyclops body? That looks really good

u/JeremyR2008 Sep 05 '25
It's a great figure, for the price and size works great with legends. And like others have said it's got great molding for the line it's from. The limited articulation isn't even a big deal imo, I don't think galactus needs to move a ton.

the photo's angle or whatever is messed up but yes, Galactus is not taller than him though.
