Marvel Legends just revealed a new Doctor Doom attachable head as part of their next stretch goal for the huge, 32-inch Galactus action figure. On Sunday, Hasbro Pulse's HasLab showcased the new piece, as two terrifying villains become one with the new head. Victor Von Doom and the Devourer of Worlds combine to become one of the most dangerous supervillains in the Marvel Universe.
Galactus and Doctor Doom are two of the most powerful forces in comics. However, the pair have come to blows on a few occasions with Victor Von Doom actually taking on the planet-eating force with a number of impressive weapons, including using the Cosmic Cube with Annihilus' Cosmic Rod. It's in that battle, Doctor Doom managed to successfully strip Galactus of his powers, and grow into a threat on the Devourer of World's level. In a story on Earth-18466, Doom actually saved Earth from Galactus but ended up being consumed by hunger and ate the entire universe. In that arc, Emma Frost manages to get inside his mind and become the Lifebringer.
This weekend, Hasbro Pulse announced a swappable Doctor Doom head would be the next stretch goal for the mammoth Galactus figure. The Doom-style helmet will be unlocked once Hasbro's campaign reaches 22,000 backers. With just under a day and a half left to go in the campaign and nearly 20,800 backers (as the time of this post), it seems like a safe bet the goal will be hit. Take a look at the massive Galactus figure from Marvel Legends with a Doctor Doom twist.
The campaign has been a huge success for Hasbro, as they've already announced three stretch goals have been hit for the action figure. First, Hasbro Pulse announced the figure would come with Frankie Raye's Nova. Next, it was revealed another Herald of Galactus, Silver Surfer, would be added to the purchase - including a stand to sit in the giant cosmic beings' hand. Thirdly, a third Herald, Morg the Executioner, was revealed after the latest stretch goal was made. Now, Hasbro is adding a new swappable head that creates the biggest version of Doctor Doom ever. It rules.
Marvel Legends' new Galactus is not only the biggest Marvel figure Hasbro has ever done, but the added incentives with each stretch goal means a whole cosmic side of Marvel will be included with the Devourer of Worlds. With the addition of Doctor Doom's head, the 32-inch action figure can now take the form of two different villains, which is incredibly awesome. The 32-inch Galactus figure retails for $399.99 and will come out in Fall, 2022.
