Galactus Minifigure by Shang Yuan - Eater of Very Very Very Tiny Worlds!

Another new minifigure release by bootLEGO maker Shang Yuan is this wonderful tiny Galactus.

I don't follow much Marvel, let alone Fantastic Four or Galactus  himself, but you gotta love the Jack Kirby-ness of this guy. 'Dat Headpiece!

Galactus came with this staff/jewel - not sure if it is anything he may have carried around in the comics, but it's a nice bonus. He also came with a base and Galactus-symbol mini build, but I chose to photograph him standing on an official LEGO minifigure base for some reason. Mostly useless extra bits, but at least Sheng Yuan are reigning themselves in from past mini-builds that were utterly useless and ridiculous and just resulted in a pile of inferior bricks in your possession.

Galactus himself is just shy of LEGO quality, and I just can't imagine any scenario where a person wouldn't want a Galactus minifigure in their collection, be they a fan of the Fantastic Four or not. He's so utterly Kirby and everything awesome about the mad comics-fever-dream that went along with all the stuff The King created.

Get one!

Sheng Yuan Heroes Assemble BootLEGOs: Beast, Red Robin, Galactus, Ant-Man and MORE!

Check out some incredible and unexpected bootleg LEGO minifigures - Heroes Assemble by Sheng Yuan - coming soon to eBay for cheap (or if you can't wait and want to pay a little more or buy in bulk, available now on AliExpress.)

This first batch may seem a little 'meh', until you get to the lower right hand corner. Yes, kids, that's Red Robin in BootLEGO minifigure form! Also shown is movie Hawkeye, yellow Deadpool, and Phoenix. Not sure how these will be bundled when they come to eBay, but I'll take any Marvel also-ran to get my hands on that Red Robin!

This next batch shows Beast and Ant-Man, along with Green Arrow and a masked brown costume Wolverine! None of these are 'must-haves' for me (I already have the Decool brown costume Wolverine) but I wouldn't mind owning all of them, so I'll wait and see how I feel or how they are bundled when they hit eBay.

Here's a batch that I will definitely try to get: Comic book Hawkeye, Galactus (!!!), Cyborg and Nova. That Galactus is just incredible and probably will never be seen in an official LEGO set.

Finally, Sheng Yuan has bootlegged the recent GameStop exclusive Plastic Man, a minifigure I would love to own. This batch also includes Daredevil, Loki and Magneto. If bundled in this manner, I may pass and just try to get an official LEGO Plastic Man, since none of the others really appeal to me (and since I already own a Decool version of that Magneto.) EDIT: I just noticed Plastic Man has elongated arms and legs, unlike the LEGO version. Looks like I will have to pick this one up after all!

These should be popping up on eBay really soon, so keep your eyes peeled. In my experience Sheng Yuan makes some top quality bootleg LEGO minifigures, and while many of these may be available in official LEGO form, some aren't and probably never will be.
