Thoughts about new Marvel Legends Haslab Nova Galactus Stretch Goal
83Some thoughts I have about the new Marvel Legends Haslab Nova, herald of Galactus, stretch goal attached to the Galactus 32 inch action figure currently being crowdfunded with a price tag of $400 per backer. Does not include a 6-inch action figure of the Silver Surfer, a catastrophic crowdfunding decision. It costs 16,000 backers to get Nova included with the project. Who knows how much Silver Surfer is because Hasbro's so secretive with stretch goals. Nova's been released as a figure before by Toy Biz, but this is her first time released as a Marvel Legend. Head sculpt and fire hair look great.

The Devourer of Worlds. He Who Hungers. A living embodiment of entropy and survival. A universal constant. A force of nature. Hasbro Pulse proudly presents the next fan-funded HasLab project: Marvel Legends Galactus!
A near-omnipotent being who must consume entire planets to survive, Galactus cares not for the lives doomed by his hunger. His is a power beyond mortal understanding…and an appetite without limit.
From the depths of the Marvel Cosmos, one of the most iconic characters in comic book history has arrived as the next Marvel Legends HasLab project. Galactus is a truly out-of-this-world figure in and out of the Marvel Universe, and here you will have a chance to help bring him to life.
Hasbro Pulse invites you to join us in bringing the Great Devourer to our world, with all the features and detailing you know and love from the Marvel Legends Series. At a staggering 32” tall and covered in intricate LED-enhanced detail, he’s the largest and most complex Marvel Legends figure ever:
32-inch (812.8 mm) Galactus figure
+300 pieces and +70 points of articulation!
20 points of articulation in each hand!
LEDs in the head and chest (4x AAA batteries required, not included)
3 swappable face-plate accessories for alternate expression
Marvel Insider Points Redemption code (70,000 points per purchase, limit 2 code redemptions per account) & all three digital comics issues of the Galactus Trilogy (Fantastic Four #48-50, Lee/Kirby, 1966) to read in the Marvel Comics app (available in iOS and Android). Open only to US residents 18+. Terms apply.
This HasLab project will run from July 16, 2021 to 11:59PM ET on August 30, 2021. If successfully backed, the project will begin shipping around Fall 2022.
We can think of few characters more worthy of the HasLab treatment than Galactus, and with your help, we’re going to do him justice!
Galactus’ status as an icon of the Marvel Age was all but instantly cemented with his first appearance in Fantastic Four #48-50 (1966). The so-called Galactus Trilogy represents the zenith of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s creative partnership, a genre-defining achievement that ushered in the Marvel Age of Comics.
To fully fund the project and satiate Galactus’ mighty hunger, we need to hit 14,000 backers. And we don’t want to stop there. The team has prepared some stretch goals to unlock.
This 32-inch (812 mm) Marvel Legends Galactus figure is the biggest Marvel Legends figure ever made, surpassing even the mighty Haslab Marvel Legends Sentinel figure! With a frame consisting of +300 pieces, it’s also one of our most intricate.
Featuring over +70 points of articulation (with 20 in each hand alone!), this figure is entirely posable and will make a cosmic addition to any display.
LEDS on the head and chest convey Galactus’ overwhelming cosmic power. He also comes with 2 alternate faceplates. The first allows the big guy to go from his usual stoic expression to a mask of rage. Best of luck to any Marvel Legends figures who get in his way! The second features a skeletal face in the style of the fan-favorite Marvel Zombies comic book series.
Though he no longer wears a giant G on his chest, Galactus’ appearance has remained largely true to Jack Kirby’s original designs. There were certain elements, such as the interlocking lines of his armor and that awesome helmet, that we knew we had to truly nail. From his intricate costume to his distinct square irises and that stoic, glowering expression, our hunger for perfection knew no bounds! Alongside Kirby we took inspiration from a host of passionate and talented artists who have contributed to the cosmos of the Marvel Universe. Building and designing Galactus from the ground up, we’ve created a truly massive and awe-inspiring figure to join your Marvel Legends collection!
There’s no time to waste! The Great Devourer approaches, and only your support can quench his legendary hunger! Lend your support to the Planet-Eater and claim your own Marvel Legends Galactus figure! Nuff said!
