Looking through the latest "Toyfare," I found the image below. True JB fans will recognize the scene represented in the Marvel Masterworks diorama as being inspired by JB's classic "Fantastic Four" cover from many years ago.
Due this Fall from Toybiz. The magazine fails to mention JB, though it reads, "based on famous comic art."

I can't tell from the pic, does it say how tall the diorama is, Matt?
Edited to add: The "G" was the first thing I noticed, too.

Aside from the frickin' G (and it is definitely obnoxious), that's pretty cool.

I couldn't find any mention of how tall the diorama would be, Dave.
And, yeah, I noticed that the "G" was on Galactus's armor, too. Do the sculptors even look at the actual art when they work on these things?

Funny reason why Galactus is being attacked.

For those that can't make it out, I believe what Ryan is referring to is the word balloon coming from Galactus in the above pic, which reads, "I just asked... OW...when that nice Rob Liefeld would be drawing you all again..."
The scary thing is the answer is... very soon!

For those mornings Galactus wakes up and wonders..."Who the f*ck am I!?"
Or is for when Nova introduces him to the petrified population..."Noise it up, 'G' is in-da house!"

"does it say how tall the diorama is,"
Here it says it's 9" scale...

although I remember an article mentioning that these would be 10 - 12" depending on the diorama itself.

Thanks, Rich!
And a brief tangent that's semi-related. Has Liefeld ever drawn Galactus?

The recent 16" Galactus from the Marvel Legends series had almost the same chest emblem.
