In their Fan First Friday event on the 16th of July 2021, Hasbro officially announced a brand new HasLab project for 2022, Galactus!
Galactus will be the biggest Marvel Legends ever, bigger than the Sentinel at a total height of 32 inches. He features full articulation as well as built-in LED lights on his chest, eyes, and helmet. The faceplate can be exchanged, so Galactus can present alternative expressions.
Like all HasLab projects, this is a crowdfunded product and 14,000 backers are needed to make Galactus a reality. The backing period runs for 45 days to the 30th of August 2021. There will be rewards and additional add-ons when selected thresholds are met.
The first threshold has been unveiled (as of the 2nd of August) at 16,000 backers and will be a 6-inch Marvel Legends figure of Frankie Raye Nova.
The project was backed fully as of the 27th of August 2021 and the Frankie Raye Nova figure level met soon after. Two new tiers were unveiled as Silver Surfer at 17,000 backers and Morg at 20,000 backers - these were both surpassed quickly and the final tier for 22,000 backers was confirmed as an alternative Doctor Doom head.
The Galactus HasLab will be run via Hasbro Pulse both in the US ($399.99) and in the UK, with a UK price of £399.99. In Mexico, collectors should use Juguetibici. While Australia and New Zealand should check out EB. For the European Union, Zavvi is the selected partner. You can access the Zavvi page with the following links

You will be charged at the end of the backing period - if the project is funded - and the item will not ship until the Autumn of 2022.
Backing the project in the US gives a number of additional benefits for Marvel Insider including 70,000 p[oints and access to a digital copy of Galactus's first appearance in 1966.
“Of what import are brief, nameless lives…to Galactus?” (Fantastic Four #49, Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, April 1966) 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
This Haslab project will run from 16th July 2021 and we will stop accepting backers at 3.59 AM GMT on 31st August 2021. If successfully backed, the project will begin shipping around Fall 2022.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
