Here's my thoughts on the big G.
HE'S FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!
The window box is sweet. Cool art, "Try me" feature, and a big bio block of text on the back. Plus he's held in with string and not twist ties. That means you can put him back in the box like new when you're done playing with him. The Silver Surfer pack in is better than the first release as well. He's painted in a more metallic silver than the first (which I never got).
First impressions in hand are impressive. He's the perfect blend of tightness on the joints (not too loose or tight), the plastic feels as if it could really take a beating, and vinyl on the skirt/ shoulder armour. The shoulder armour is removable.
Articulation is good - ball neck, shoulders, wrists, and hips. Swivel biceps, forearms, waist, thighs, and calves. Double hinge knees and elbows. Single hinge ankles.
Unlike the ML Galactus, the hips can actually get into a walking pose.
He doesn't have a chest joint, but that's cool because it looks retarded most of the time anyway.
His light up feature isn't as good as the sounds. Mine has red eyes, (I thought they'd be blue), but the light pipe effect is great.
His head is made from clear blue rubbery plastic (not too rubbery though!)
The phrases and sounds are equally impressive. I usually think they are crap, but the voice actor really gets into it haha!
The random phrases are -
"Tremble at the might of the power cosmic!" *exploson*
"Know me, mortal. Know me, and know fear!"
"I hunger"
"I am the devourer of worlds!"
"Behold! The world eating machine!"
"Who is so ignorant to confront Galactus?"
"You will witness the end... for I am power incarnate!" *power blast effect*
"So speaks Galactus!"
"Who dares defy Galactus?!"
"To me, my herald!"
"You serve me, now!"
He's got some pretty sweet detail sculpting that's not obvious. The gauntlets in particular.
All in all, I'm massively impressed with this. I can't find fault. Every aspect about it is awesome. Granted, I did get mine for free from a friend. ;D
10/10. Seriously.
