this is a new toy in the mini-mate line. unlike the regular figures this is a large figure, more a (not so)mini-mate.
galactus is the creation of stan lee and jack kirby, the two men most responsible for creating comics as we know them today. galactus is the devourer of worlds, and for a time let the silver surfer hang with him. most often the earth has been protected from galactus' hunger by the fantastic four.
while galactus' hat is great sometimes his costume has been a little bit odd, but then when you devour worlds i guess you can wear what you like.
this particular galactus will complement my toy biz one that came with an ultimate nullifier (sadly it didn't work). i missed out on the heroclix galactus which looked really cool.
one of the reasons i like galactus is i empathise with him. he devours worlds, i devour chocolate. the difference is he doesn't put on weight and it is and essential part of his nature, me i am a pig and i have porked out like billy bunter.

One of the customers at Comic Showcase has a giant motion-activated Galactus statue. He keeps it next to the TV and when you walk past apparently it blares out "I HUNGER...!".
Priceless.
now i want one of those.
and i want it now.....
it's looks grim and its not from my home town.
Also, after downloading and watching all of the 1990s cartoon series, my kids have been known, when told it was dinner time, to also say (in monotone) "I HUNGER...!"
I have cool kids.
(We also recently sat through 2 seasons of the Iron Man cartoon series. Dylan thought (rightly so) that James 'War Machine' Rhodes was "rubbish" but loved the Mandarin...you can't fault his taste.)
