Lego Launches First Fantastic Four Build featuring Brick-Built Galactus
Get ready, Marvel fans! The much-anticipated movie "Fantastic Four: First Steps" is set to release on June 1, and with it comes an exciting new Lego set - "Fantastic Four vs. Galactus". This set offers a first proper look at Galactus' movie design, and it's a far cry from previous portrayals.
The MCU's Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson, takes on the character's classic giant humanoid form with large horns and imposing armor, a stark contrast to the previous portrayal as a cosmic cloud. This design choice aims to capture the "larger-than-life, armored, human-shaped cosmic god" image, a departure from earlier films that maintained realism and managed audience expectations.
Galactus in the set is 28cm tall and made of 427 pieces. The set includes figures for each member of the Fantastic Four to battle Galactus. Each minifigure, sans-power-parts, looks pretty nifty. Sue Storm's figure, for instance, comes with invisibility field effects, while Johnny Storm's figure has flame effects on his feet and hands.
However, the set's Galactus figure's price of $70 is questionable for some. On the other hand, the set is available for viewing at LEGO, giving fans a chance to judge for themselves.
Details about the latest releases and future plans for these franchises can be found on io9. But for now, let's marvel at the colossal scale of Galactus in the set. Director Matt Shakman revealed a visual "genius trick" where the IMAX 1:43 aspect ratio changes whenever Galactus appears on screen, making the environment adjust dynamically to emphasize his towering, planet-consuming presence.
In conclusion, the MCU design changes likely reflected in the Lego set see Galactus depicted as a huge armored humanoid with large iconic horns, towering over large cityscapes and key locations. The design embraces classic comic appearances with modern effects to maximize impact.
While the set's aesthetics or modifications relative to previous versions are not yet clear, fans can look forward to the release of the Fantastic Four vs. Galactus set and the upcoming "Fantastic Four: First Steps" movie. Stay tuned for more updates!
