Gonna be hella expensive

[wanderlai]

I must have this if the paint ends up great. I wonder if it has been approved since its FF property?

Chair needs to be more technological. Like this

[wanderlai]

It's actually based of a piece of art already.

Something that wasn't produced just for the statue?
Please show me.

That chair looks in the promotion looks like an Aztec's throne or something. Would look neat for Apocalypse.

Interesting choice. This could be an amazing statue!

[Sharkey]

that aztec look is pretty sick

[AllThatExist666]

FML I'm a need a bigger house :eek:

[SONICobra]

the whole throne concept seems a little over done at this point

what happened to Galactus in the pix?

I am hoping this will go for around usd$300

[Bob Morton]

What is the context of this statue and art? I have read a lot of silver surfer comics but don't remember this particular scene in any of them. Cheers.

[darcius453]

Holly shiznit! Hope thats in my budget but it probably isent. :(

[The Mule]

Huge potential here imho. The throne seems to blend hi tech with raw natural elements, like moss. Gives a sense of decadence and really gives the idea that Galactus is sitting on a throne in a world that was consumed long ago.

[Big Hulk]

Hope he is colored liked the comics and not the dull color in the picture.

:iagree:

Totally agree needs to look more technological

[AC_808]

I'm starting to agree with you. Plus the way Galactus is sitting on his throne ...there's just no attitude or presence.

I'm hoping the 3D rendering will have more presence. And perhaps a more hi-tech throne will make it feel less played out.

We'll see how it goes ...

[Kovenor]

I like the throne.. i hardly think its been overplayed. Only good ones that come to mind is dr doom and the recent magneto. Aquaman but thats a c list character so he dont count imo. Galactus is considered a god so a throne would seem a proper fit for him. As far as the aztec look i like it.. galactus is ageless and timeless so this really gives that effect.. old roots growing over him adds to it. He is billions of years old so this makes sense to me. A century of our time would be a blink the eye for him. Also having silver surfur really adds the size comparison so hopefully they keep him in there.

So what scale is this?

[qz33]

Galactus's height really does vary both as a consequence of his abilities and artistic representation so nothing can can be ascertained.

Maybe a scale could be inferred from the picture that contains the Silver Surfer for a more standard reference.

[Comicbookguy]

Looks like a carved tree log... The paint can make or kill these 1/3 statues.

[Sharkey]

So what scale is this?

No way to do it in scale with everything else. It would be large enough to take up Texas.

But as for size, he has already specified in that pic, so seems like will be about on part with the other IA pieces.

And yea, as qz33 said, his size might be specified in the marvel omnibus, but his actual comic appearances have all changed based on who was drawing it and what they were wanting to do in that particular story.

[majestic1]

So what scale is this?

Around 1:500

[AC_808]

I should've been more specific ...since I know Galactus has the ability to change his size. And he gets smaller when he hasn't "eaten" for awhile and his power is depleted.

My question was more ...what did IA say the scale was for this?

But if we calculate it, we can get a rough guess. If you go with what the Marvel wiki says and have Galactus at about 29 feet and this statue is 2.6 feet (80 cm) sitting down. That should be about 3 feet standing up. So ....a rough guesstimate is 1/10 scale?

[AC_808]

But then again ...Galactus looks depleted in that concept art, so maybe he's in his smaller depleted form. And at 2.6 feet (80 cm) sitting down, maybe this could be 1/6 scale. HaHa ...who knows?

[One Above All]

I wonder how much this will cost?

No prices yet, we are waiting for approval

[JT918]

Any update on this thing? Approval?

I believe I read on the facebook page that this didn't get approved. Check on that though. I could be wrong.

That's a bummer then

[IzeroI]

Well that sucks : /

[MrJones]

This is the first I heard of it... and I guess the last. That's unfortunate.

[Thor57]

I asked in the ask IA thread, and they confirmed not approved.

[Comicbookguy]

What? I don't get it? Why not? This was like the best IA statue which made me want to start collecting IA stuff. Bummers!

[Cougrcrumby]

And here I am ...playin into the shtick CBG....for the trillionth time FF is off limits until marvel gets the rights back. It has been shelved. They don't even make an FF comic anymore. Also, Aquaman is not a freaking C list character. He has carried multiple comics for multiple years throughout the decades. He is one of the main JLA members. Jeesh.

Cool thanks so it's just on hold because of license. Maybe not cancel for sure. Hope they get their huge money and let companies like XM, IS, IA, etc make x-men and FF again.

[AC_808]

So ....what happened to this piece?

[Thor57]

Wasn't approved.

[AC_808]

Oh well ....
