Yes, well that... that's a lot of *pink*.

This Galactus bust would be unspeakably fucking awesome if only he weren't snarling like Billy Idol.



Seriously, he's Galactus: Devourer of Worlds. He is above such petty grimances.

Otherwise, I'd get this in a second, and I don't ever buy busts. Check out the link above and go through the gallery. Look at the *detail* on his armor! Anyone who thinks Galactus can't be depicted in a live-action film in his armor should look at that shit, man.

If I could afford someone to make that armor for me, even just the headpiece, I'd wear it every single day. Even to the grocery store. ESPECIALLY to the grocery store. The produce aisle shall weep in anticipation.

So. Who wants to be my herald? It involves getting naked, covering yourself in silver paint, and going to random places to announce, "LO, WEEP PUNY MORTALS AND MAKE PEACE WITH WHATEVER GODS YOU HAVE, FOR HEFLACTUS, DEVOURER OF SCENERY approaches!"



This reminds me, remember how I said there were some mind-blowingly wonderful scans_daily posts that I wished I could link to here except they're friends-locked?

This is one of them: THE LAST GALACTUS STORY: the lost epic that remains one of the great unfinished masterpieces of comics. Mind-blowing sci-fi evocative of Clark and Asimov, and we may never see it finished. I defy anyone to read that and not go, "... wow."

Really, that alone is worth joining scans_daily, even if you don't plan to follow the community. It's that great, what there is of it.

I feel compelled to add I'M GETTING HUNGRY.

OOH OOH ME

Lo, tiny humans, HEFLACTUS IS NIGH--try not to giggle until he's got his back turned, OK?

The little voice in the back of my head is saying, "Volunteer! Do it now!" But I'm not a very skilled surfer, naked or otherwise.

"HEFLACTUS, DEVOURER OF SCENERY"

I am not laughing hysterically in a public computer lab. I am not laughing hysterically in a public computer lab. I am not...damn it, John!

Funny you'd pimp scans_daily mere moments before it...dies?

Also, I want that terribly grimacing Galactus to bring with me to scare students.

I Say Thee Nay!

The Odinson shall not be out-stared by one such as thou! Thy challenge is joined; look now upon the visage of a warrior born.

I can do it! The sight of me naked and covered in silver paint will be more than enough to get the populace good and terrified.

I need an angry icon

I need to freak out with someone. Why lj, why?! That was an archive of great stuff!

HEFLACTUS, DEVOURER OF SCENERY

You need that on a tee shirt! If you put it in the show, the geeks in the audience would cry.
And aaaaahhhh, I just posted about the Silver Surfer (among about 8,000 other things)! Hahahaha!

Also, way to jinx scans_daily :P

Ok, now I'm going to start a punk band and use Galactus as my logo. What's punker than a devourer of worlds fucker??? :P
Mike Barron and I actually had a conversation while going up to WAC last night on whether or not they could have done Galactus in the flesh in a movie and not make it look silly (I say just stream line/mechanize the armor a bit more, totally keeping the tuning fork helmet, and change the color from magenta-pink to blood red) and then decided from now on, to save movies from being too expensive, everyone will just be replaced with a giant space cloud at random
