The sculpts for HeroClix have been improving, but there's only so much you can do at that size. The DC ones seem to turn out better than the Marvel ones.

I love my large scale HeroClix. I have Galactus, Spectre and Fin Fang Foom:



(The orange was sold at SDCC. The non-SDCC ones are green.)

I'm hoping to grab a Starro at some point:

Every time I see Starro either on that classic Justice League cover, or on some recreation of it , the first thing that pops into my head (no matter how many times it happens...I should know better by know) is a very short lived impression that the Flash is running up a ramp after Captain America's shield.

He needs a giant pair of boxer shorts.

I can't find any online reference to the size of the Fin Fang Foom piece, other than "large". Being the same scale as Galactus and the normal HeroClix figures would make him about four feet high, and I am guessing that's not the case! Anybody have the measurements?

JB - I don't have an FFF so I cannot provide a scale pic. The only thing I could was this link showing FFF next to some other Heroclix.

As for his size, I read he was smaller than the Spectre. Spectre is taller than Galactus.

Here are a couple of my customs. Be kind :^)  Both were done right after Heroclix came out, except for Shaman's magical effect, which is Starfire's hair and Electro's electricity.
