True, that's why I went & made my own Pyro flame FX for him. Not the best,, but good enough for me. -

Um...Quantum bands are removable. -
See, that's where Hasbro messed up in making Terrax an outta scale BAF. Now everyone not familiar with the character thinks he's some 8 ft giant. FYI, Terrax is 6'6, not 7'6. Hasbro just has to redo him on a newer buck that's about an inch shorter than the BAF version. Has anyone here actually read a Byrne FF issue with Terrax in it?

Nuh uh, those are "energy" effects bru. Seriously speaking, Those fire blasts go with Human Torch, Sunfire, Firestar, Pyro, & Ironfist I suppose. But Hasbro is just insulting our intellect by inserting these flame FX with anyone else just cuz they're too lazy to tool up a new energy type FX for other characters & they assume we won't care. Same thing with those Kirby magic bubble FX they slapped on a ton of characters. -
Screw putting them in different costumes. I want the classic version in their most iconic look....period. Add them as tiers to big G & kudos to those that fund this. But Hasbro should add any 6' figs that came out in the Sentinel/Galactus fundraisers in future waves or as a deluxe boxset of Heralds or in the Bastion Sentinel case, as a Pulse army builder.
-
It is amusing that some here are complaining that no Heralds should be included with the guy that creates them. As far as Army builders, the Punisher robots are the only logical answer. They are also not "tiny" characters either, they are actually quite large from some comics that I have of them in which they appear in . How this guy figures you can "Army build" them shy of buying multiple Galactus figs is beyond me. If anything, Hasbro shoulda stated that their will be 1 Punisher robot coming with big G & then they will be a future army builder in the Hasbro Pulse line as well. I prefer they look like they do in this image vs Thanos.

I saw a lone Roadblock repaint on the pegs today at my local Tarjay & 4 AI IM, 3 Shang Chi's & 9 Katy's. They're at 50% off. Ghostbusters figs were also going for 50% off as well. My local GS had everyone in the BOTBG wave minus Yuriko.

I may be in the minority but for me, Quasar is a low B, high C list character who's claim to fame is that he was an Avenger in the 80s/ 90s and had an important role in Operation: "Galactic Storm" I know he's also been involved in more recent cosmic events pertaining to Thanos as well, but I haven't read them. I'm fine with Hasbro putting him on the Bucky Cap buck & giving him the young Robby Redford look. Imo, the fig is in his most iconic costume and looks good! Some Yellow construct weapons woulda been nice but oh well. He'll be going in my classic Avengers lineup if I ever find him in the wild, hopefully in August.

Amazing how good a 1 issue story plot was back then. Nowadays, today's so called great writers have to do multi parters every 4 issues or more. I was never a big fan of Stingray & even less so of him as an Avenger which if anything, he was a reservist & never was an active member if memory serves. But Wouldn't be against him being part of an Ironman retro wave as he did play a part in the "Armor wars"

Until the artistic license guys were allowed to mutate them to the 8-9 foot scale. If you look at early art depictions of Galactus from the Kirby days all the way to John Byrne, he was never drawn as being bigger than 30ft tall , if that. The 28'9 scale was his most common hgt. He actually shrunk in size as his cosmic energy dwindled due to going too long without consuming the life energies of a planet, be it populated or not. This wanting him 40' tall or even bigger is due to his depiction in cartoons. And of course, we all know, toons is what most people Base their knowledge of Marvel characters on. I was quite alright with the TB BAF Galactus myself, he was just a slightly repowered version. Heck , even at a small diminished size and "weakened" state, it took the FF, Dr Strange, Thor, Ironman, Cap & Ghost Rider to beat him!
