We’re mere days away from the theatrical release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but Marvel is still keeping its cards close to the vest where Ralph Ineson’s Galactus is concerned. None of the trailers have given us a clear glimpse of the towering cosmic villain, leaving it to some leaked promo art to give us our first glimpse of Galactus’ face. But as is often the case, a new Hot Toys figure is giving us our best look yet at the MCU version of Galactus.
Check out the slideshow gallery below to see Hot Toys’ massive and highly detailed Galactus Jumbo Sofvi Figure, along with the other newly revealed Fantastic Four figures:
This figure makes it clear that First Steps’ Galactus is very close to the comic book source material. Ineson’s likeness is clearly evident, though the face also has an interesting lined texture that speaks to his otherworldly nature.
The Galactus Jumbo Sofvi Figure is a bit different from standard Hot Toys figures. For one thing, it’s quite a bit bigger, clocking in at 70 cm/27.6 inches tall. It’s also not nearly as articulated as normal Hot Toys figures, with only limited movement in the head, waist, and arms. No doubt that will help keep the cost down.
Galactus also isn’t the usual Hot Toys 1:6 scale. With Galactus being several hundred feet tall in the film, we don’t even want to think about how massive a 1:6 scale Galactus would be. The figure does include miniature versions of the FF and Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer.
Alongside Galactus, Hot Toys is also releasing more traditional 1:6 scale figures of the entire FF family. The Invisible Woman even comes with a 1:6 scale version of baby Franklin Richards. Meanwhile, both Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic can be purchased in an optional bundle with the helper robot H.E.R.B.I.E.
Will you be adding this gigantic Galactus figure to your collection? What do you think of the MCU version of this iconic villain? Let us know in the comments below.
