These mysterious fellows are synonymous with Bowen Designs. I think 85% of their work has been with Bowen Designs. This Galactus does seem like a Bowen-sized piece. Bigger than Sentinels, but smaller than the Sideshow Galactus. Maybe they designed it this size because it's what they are familiar with.

Who the hell knows. What i do know is when this piece was teased we all felt the excitement . . .and as a whole i think the majority of us were let down.

Their XM Hulkbuster is pretty big... Their SS Dr. Strange is only 1-3" shorter than this guy, granted some of that's the base. I think it's SS on this one...probably trying to keep costs down.

I just want to know one thing, how did OrganicsFearUs remember their password after all that time?

The company sets the size not the sculptors....

I'd have to agree. Honestly the size of this piece doesn't bother me at all. My only problem is the Galactus tax they threw on the price. This shouldn't have cost more than Darkseid. For $850 it should have been at least 28, 29". I pulled the trigger anyway because I need a Galactus and I had reward points I had to get rid of. Plus I'm a huge K Bros fan. I love their work.

Has XM announced a intentions for a Galactus?

I'd pin my hopes on Legendary Beasts.

They have experience with producing 30+" pieces, and a Galactus wouldn't be any more complex than the Magneto they recently put up for PO.

If they did a Galactus in a throne pose, yet still came in around 30" tall while seated, he'd out-scale even the first SSC statue.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that happen in the next several years.

It’s been written on a Post-it on his fridge since 2015, right next to the 45 cents off coupon for Peter Pan Peanut Butter that’s been there just as long.

If any of this is coming off as firey, it's just my disappointment showing.

They tried. Thanos sold like hot cakes. Doomsday took a year or two to sell and was on sale at the end if I remember correctly. Juggernaut is still available after year and half. And hulk must have WL recently. Rancor sold out quick, but again the ES was half of the others
Out if the available statues SS has put out n the last gear half only 2 are over $700. Looks like there's 3 more that have sold out. I think all had discounts.

Interesting....

I'm still guessing Galactus ES will be around 3000. I guess we'll find out eventually.

Sorry big miss for me..OG has its own Silver Surfer and nova and they are both in scale... 2 face switch outs and the lights ups..



This feels more like Galactus!

So, Danny Devito is going to play Galactus in the next Marvel movie?
