Galactus statue
Hi - is the bowen galactus statue any good? I can't find any reviews of this statue. For those who own it, is it worth getting?
Cheers.

By todays standards it's rather plain. There is not much detail as other G statues in later years became more complex.

From the standpoint of how big G looks in the comics won't get better than Bowen.

This is an awesome statue and looks especially good with the FF and Silver Surfer mini statues in front of it facing off against him. I've had the Bowen Big G statue since it came out and would not part with it.

It is a classic comic book representation. Scale is obviously wrong when standing with other bowen statues with th exception of the minis but an awesome stand alone piece.

Is the Galactus about the same size as the Sentinel by Bowen?

I'm only chiming because Galactus is a favorite of mine.
I think this Bowen statue looks pretty terrible. Very plain and little more details than toys such as the Marvel Masterworks
It has a high edition size for the price as well.
Here's a avideo reveiw.

I think it is a great statue and reflects the bronze age of comics very well. Let’s be honest, there aren’t any statues out there that would accurately captures big G’s true scale.

If you're able to pick it up really cheap and also pick up the FF4 mini statue set then it's cool to have. I don't think it's worth getting otherwise. I wouldn't pay the $200 it's currently going for on ebay.
