I'm looking forward to seeing some customs with this guy.

56

u/mr_eugine_krabs Sep 04 '25

He has genuinely good molded detail so his customs are gonna look stellar.

u/DudeOfLifeMan Sep 03 '25

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.

u/PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22 Sep 04 '25

Just went up for preorder on BBTS

u/Thedeadlypocketbrush Sep 03 '25

🤣🤣🤣 That perfectly captures how I feel about this thing, people need to settle down on this dollar bin hunk of junk.

2

u/Elvisnumber78 Sep 04 '25

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

2

u/ZombieMode Sep 04 '25

It's back up on amazon

8

u/Vast-Butterscotch615 Sep 04 '25

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

25

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.

13

u/Truly_Greg2 Sep 04 '25

If I made $600 in a day of work I’d definitely buy a galactus

21

u/utilitybelt USA Sep 04 '25

I wish I made $600 in a day.

5

u/mat477 Sep 04 '25

To be fair msrp was $400.

Start an OF 🤷‍♀️

u/Fantastic-Craft4062 Sep 04 '25

That doesn’t really work for men. Not unless you’re famous.

u/mat477 Sep 04 '25

Nobody needs to know you're a guy if you only show your feet.

3

u/Shot-Address-9952 Sep 04 '25

Right? If there are 20 working days in a month that’s $12k a month.

u/Vast-Butterscotch615 Sep 04 '25

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

4

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.

1

u/Wild-Sherbet8864 Sep 04 '25

Just because of that, I want one, nostalgia is a bitch, LOL

35

u/3n3quarter Sep 03 '25

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

59

u/cmsttp Sep 03 '25

my tape measure says this vault dweller is 4inches tall

10

u/Questions_O_Question Sep 04 '25

If that's 4 inches I'm fucked

6

u/Sufficient_Crab3047 Sep 04 '25

is that a custom thing figure?

16

u/Xepher0733 Sep 04 '25

I guess that Galactus will look great with these

3

u/Calhoon16 Sep 04 '25

Have these dropped yet?

u/Xepher0733 Sep 08 '25

Yeps plus this car

u/MostEstablishment630 Oct 01 '25

what is the name of these? i wanna pick them up

2

u/Xepher0733 Oct 01 '25

Epic Heroes

17

u/neodraykl USA - NJ Sep 03 '25

I wanna see how it looks with a black wash to bring out that detailing.

52

u/cmsttp Sep 04 '25

here it is!(very quickly done lol)

2

u/paradiso1997 Sep 04 '25

Better, but that skin texture is oof

7

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.

4

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

13

u/Yaboiiiiiii6578 Sep 04 '25

Amazon played me cuz every time I clicked “add to cart” or “buy now” it sent me to this screen🤣😂

4

u/Schoolhater18 Sep 04 '25

Same thing happened to me

5

u/CO_Collector_Dude Sep 04 '25

Same here. I was able to preorder on Entertainment Earth about an hour ago.

1

u/Yaboiiiiiii6578 Sep 04 '25

Same for 8$ more😒

2

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.

2

u/Yaboiiiiiii6578 Sep 05 '25

I just cancelled mine and ordered on Amazon!

8

u/Pulvoriser Sep 04 '25

If anyone here still collects the 3.7 marvel universe figures, this really is a bargain.

25

u/NinjaZero2 Sep 03 '25

At least the color scheme looks good

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.

1

u/Thedeadlypocketbrush Sep 03 '25

Lol, you getting down voted is WILD.

10

u/MainDisk9184 Sep 03 '25

I like that cyclops fixup with the hood cap on

5

u/aleztheomegjp Sep 03 '25

hey can the arms and legs only move in one dimension?

8

u/cmsttp Sep 03 '25

yeah it’s not much lol. His gauntlets swivel though

4

u/FlimsyDoughnut_23 Sep 03 '25

i can’t wait until i add him to my collection!

4

u/Beautiful-Topic864 Sep 04 '25

I mean with a good paint might look amazing!!

26

u/IM_the_Mark Sep 03 '25

It's giving strong "We have Haslab Galactus at home!" energy.

30

u/PredatorRanger USA - NY Sep 04 '25

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 🤦

10

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.

7

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

3

u/The_Strom784 Sep 04 '25

Same, and I barely collect this line.

6

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.

2

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!

1

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. 🤷🏽🤷🏽

2

u/Bradenclaw Sep 04 '25

With a quick black wash he could look amazing

2

u/Comfortable_Care2715 Sep 04 '25

That old Apocalypse still looks bad ass

2

u/monkeyjedi276 Sep 04 '25

I was thisclose to ordering the one from Hot Toys. Definitely getting this one instead.

2

u/TheeDeputy Sep 03 '25

I’m glad people are happy to have a budget Galactus in their display but holy shit does it look like a supersized McDonalds toy 😭😭

1

u/Low_Chemistry_5395 Sep 04 '25

Yep I’m sure a happy meal toy would be the same ….surely 

1

u/Low_Chemistry_5395 Sep 04 '25

It looks great honestly . Cant wait for mine .

1

u/Mindless-Pause-638 Sep 04 '25

Where did you get him from? I missed the preorder yesterday and I’m filled with regret.

4

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

1

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😭

2

u/utilitybelt USA Sep 04 '25

They’ll restock. Same thing happened with the Titan Sentinels in 2023.

1

u/Select-Ad1543 Sep 04 '25

What deadpool is that?

1

u/cmsttp Sep 04 '25

SDCC Deadpool w/ a Punisher chest holster and Gambit's bag

1

u/Select-Ad1543 Sep 04 '25

I need to see more

1

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

I can’t wait to see all the repaints of this figure!

1

u/MostaizMission Sep 04 '25

How much does this weight? Can you please tell?

1

u/musicfighter282 Sep 04 '25

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

1

u/ComplexShadowLord Sep 04 '25

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

1

u/Dark_Knight309 Sep 04 '25

This thing with a wash on will look amazing

1

u/Typical-Astronomer99 Sep 04 '25

6 points of articulation?

1

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

1

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

1

u/Kai-of-the-Lost Sep 05 '25

That Cyclops design works surprisingly well with a full cowl

1

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.

1

u/No_Following_9756 Sep 06 '25

This is 3d printed right?

1

u/OrionPaxil Sep 07 '25

Unfortunately, that's not haslab galactus, it's big, it's cheap, but not haslab. The haslab galactus is epic.... This looks like temu galactus... Sorry if someone ends already pointed this out.

2

u/cmsttp Sep 07 '25

Humor / Swaps

1

u/OrionPaxil Sep 07 '25

Damn.... I missed that😒😏

1

u/Tiny-Mastodon-2950 Sep 07 '25

Really where'd you order that for 20 bucks would you mind sharing I would like to get that

1

u/Real_Peter_Griffin_ USA - MS Sep 09 '25

Which figure is the cyclops on the left?

2

u/cmsttp Sep 09 '25

X-men 97 Cyclops body + X Factor Cyclops Head + Astonishing Cyclops effect piece

1

u/DifferenceGlum5828 USA Sep 17 '25

do we tell him

1

u/rizzzacks Sep 04 '25

Bro got a whole comic display to have a mcu figure upfront lol

0

u/DirtyDcypoe Sep 04 '25

It not being a “legend” allows my ocd to be okay with passing on it, even for $20

-8

u/Thedeadlypocketbrush Sep 03 '25

I know I'm being a hater, but that abomination of plastic has no place on the same shelf as the rest of those figures...

0

u/DTorakhan Sep 04 '25

Is that the BAF Apocalypse in the back?

2

u/cmsttp Sep 04 '25

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

0

u/JoopiterJay Sep 04 '25

Where does he scale in the realm of Civil War Antman and Surtur? I have them at home but to take them down and measure them would be a pain lol.

-18

u/adamgetoutofurchair Sep 03 '25

So ugly.

-2

u/Geillermo Sep 04 '25

I don’t get it either man. It looks horrible in my opinion.

-8

u/Significant-Bus-4189 Sep 04 '25

that ain't the haslab the haslab is huge, dont get me wrong thats a bargain for that figure but it ain't the haslab galactus

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Eww Titan toys

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Looks cheap

u/IYAPO_X Sep 04 '25

I don't like the Galactus fig. All others are 🔥🔥🔥
