That Galactus is possibly the first SIDESHOW piece I may consider buying -- it just looks like it would really stand out in a collection

Yes, always thought Kirby's elegant design would be much improved if
Galactus had a space heater for a head.

Space is a cold, cold place, and it needs to be heated.

It is somewhat odd, but somewhat cool at the same time. I think some of
the stuff is cool, like the lines of the back og his helmet but the weird
designs on the front and that goofy gun looking thing on top... it's a bit
much.

For as long as Galactus has been around, it has been required of the
super-hip segment of fandom that they mock the "hockey sticks" poking out
of his helmet. What I call "antennae". Probably the worst offense of this
sculpt is that Sideshow has decided to address this "problem" by making the
antennae. . . bigger and clunkier!
Who thought that was a good idea?

I still can't seem to find a reference pic for this thing. The closest I come to
is the way he was portrayed in the Ultimate Alliance video game.
The only analogy I can come up with when I look at this Galactus bust is car
wreck. I want to look away, but can't.

Not sure I like the gesture she's making (looks like she's going to make the
"blblblblbl" sound), but Scarlet Witch for the Kotobukiya Bishoujo line!

Niiiiiice Scarlet Witch. I may have to break my long-held Wonder Woman only rule when it comes to collectables. Wanda is my 2nd favorite comic book character, so perhaps she deserves some space on my shelves.

Peter, by the looks of your profile pic, it looks like you get pretty good
reception too.

Nice sculpt, but perhaps a bit too overt for Wanda. I think of her as
more demure.
