This very well might be XM's greatest challenge. A true 1/4 Galactus will clock in at just over 7 feet tall. I highly doubt XM or collectors are ready for a Big G that's that tall and that expensive. Sideshow is able to fudge the scale of Big G with their MAQ line. I imagine that sideshow's license with Marvel allows for that. Does XM's Marvel license allow it? As far as I can see, XM has only released 1/4 Marvel statues. They can release 1/3 and 1/7 Marvel statues in collaboration with Legendary Beast Studios. I think it's safe to say a true 1/3 Galactus is unlikely to see the light of day. Who can afford or display a nearly 10 foot tall statue?

So, I think that a true 1/7 scale Galactus by XM & LBS is the most appealing option for collectors. A true 1/7 Galactus would be slightly over 4 feet tall. That would be significantly larger than any licensed Galactus we've seen to date. It would also be in the ball park of what most collectors can afford. I know a 1/7 scale Galactus may sound small, but if it's released, a 1/7 scale Big G would still be over 16 inches taller than the OG MAQ and over 23 inches taller than the latest MAQ. I really believe that a true 1/7 scale Galactus by XM & LBS would be what most collectors are looking for. But, who knows? If there's any company that would be daring enough to release a 7 foot Galactus statue, XM is the company that would do it.

Without a doubt. They are Marvel's first family. It's a damn shame that they haven't been released already. Sideshow alone had over 15 years to do so. I'd even love to see LBS release the FF in 1/7 scale. I still need Reed and Sue in that scale.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

They should just do what Imaginarium Art was planning a few years ago. Have him sitting with a height around 36”.

That'd certainly work as well. I'd still like to see what a standing 4 foot Galactus statue would look like though. I have no doubt that XM & LBS could make an incredible 1/7 Galactus.

I think 34-36" inches tall would be perfect enough for most collectors. The problem being breaking him apart for shipping and then making sure the seams don't ruin the look. Galactus i'm sure will end up being close to if not more expensive that the Magneto 1/3rd, and that's going to ship in two boxes, wonder what shipping that's going to cost.

7 foot tall would be super crazy expensive, like 5K and another 4-5k just to ship. Only the most hardcore/rich collectors could afford or house him.

36-40" wound be perfect IMO. As long as he towers over the rest is fine.
