I do appreciate his videos, a lot time his reviews help me in deciding what to buy and what I really don't need.

I like the reviews, even the customs I have zero interest in. I just wouldn't ever have a collection like that, assuming unlimited funds. The DC/X-Men/Transformer room especially would give me a headache. Too much stuff and too many perspective planes. Reminds me of walking around a packed Halloween store.

I would be in for a line like that!

Per Marvel.com Galactus is 28' 9" but it is variable. Using this as a base he should have been at least 34" in height for 1/10 or basically the height of the original maquette. New one is more 1/13 scale using marvel.com. If I purchase I will probably pair with my Bowen Surfer and Nova, it would not look good with the new Sideshow Surfer.

While i don't think they would have ever made it to scale with the new sideshow surfer they could have made it bigger than the 26 inches they did, come on now, sideshow was asleep at the wheel with this one me thinks as far as the height goes, or maybe they feel they can sell to more people with the limited height idk sigh

This thread is gold if you read it from the start.

I loved the in the shadows look ...but when they put it fully in the light and I find out it’s smaller than my 1/5 scale darth maul ..I just can’t do it. It won’t fit with any other statues......unless to a few of your points ..it’s matched with Bowen. I want to like it though.

Really?
58 pages. I might give it ago

From the YouTube live chats i have watched where Galactus gets a mention, the long and short appears to be - great sculpt, shame about the (small) size. Collectors wanted big, Sideshow gave them small. Way to go!

Who took over from David Igo at Sideshow?

They don’t care anymore . It’s a shame but we have options with other companies and customs .
